Why I'm standing
Wanting to offer my skills. Wanting to contribute rather than criticise. I am old enough to have life experience, and young enough to offer that experience for a few more years. I want to have some say in our future. I also want to learn some more life lessons. I want to know I put up my hand and offered to help at a time when we are nearly financially finished if we don't change.
About me
I am truly independent of any political party, but have been a member of Labor and National over 35 years ago. I have been elected as a successful union delegate at the regional hospital several years ago. I feel that the policies I want initiated will need some level of bi-partisan support to really be implemented without interference. I am the person to vote for, being the only candidate for Kiwibank investment in water.
My priorities
- Fund by Kiwisaver pension scheme to provide capital and stability for private dam and water tank.
- Reduce and maintain current rate levels by user pay for council facilities with exemption for homeless and those without work.
- Use in-house staff to do physical work and to administrate, with contracting costing $66 million in 2024.
