Why I'm standing
I feel incredibly fortunate to call the Devonport/Takapuna community home. It is a great place to visit and a fantastic place to live, but our community is facing challenges and change. I believe we need pragmatic, future-focused solutions.
About me
I am a television presenter and producer and have spent the best part of my life helping the underdog fight for a fair go, holding 'the powers that be' to account and showcasing our sporting success on the world stage. I believe success is always collaborative. Working together as a community is where we draw strength. A vote for me ensures independent decision making driven by a vision for a better future.
My priorities
- Ensure Devonport/Takapuna remains a great place to live for future generations.
- Ensure parks, libraries and community facilities are promoted and managed to ensure their survival.
- Fight for rates affordability, better infrastructure and help build a prosperous community.
