Why I'm standing

I do not believe New Zealand is the best country in the world. I wish I could believe New Zealand is the best country in the world, unfortunately the truth is we fail because our politics fails. People, such as myself should not have to travel to Australia to get timely and appropriate health care. Constitutional accountability will restore democracy and lift standards.

About me

I moved into Wigram in 1995 and have lived in the same house since, with my partner and our Gabbie, the bossy Jack Russell. My experience in politics is limited to being ignored about some really important issues. My professional experience is as an Electronic Engineer where being listened to is essential for efficient progress and to reduce the risk of errors, and I am too old to change.

My priorities
  1. The voters know so I will listen and learn then together we can address the core problems.
  2. Reinstate the practice of accountability, because accountability is fundamental to good governance.
  3. Happy healthy people though quality food and less pollution. Clean water, clean air, all for free.
