A Tongan-born New Zealander, I was brought up with the values of service and hard work. My parents' example plus my commitment to social justice and equal opportunities led me to politics, where I could make a difference in hardworking Kiwis' lives. Covid-19 has taught me Kiwis are a marvellous team of 5 million that will unite to ensure we all thrive. I am proud to be part of Jacinda Ardern's government which has been leading that team and I wish to continue our work towards a better future.

I am a mother of two, living with my husband and extended family in Panmure-Ōtāhuhu. I have BA/LLB degrees from the University of Auckland and 25 years' experience working in health and education as a public servant and with NGOs here and in the US, then as an MP. As a parent, I dream of my children growing up in a New Zealand where everyone gets a fair go and we look after each other. As an MP, I advocate for that dream, working for all people and not just the few.

I want to help our people, especially those most disadvantaged to have a better life for themselves and their children. Housing is completely unaffordable in Auckland. This enriches banks, speculators but crushes the poor. After rent there is little left to pay for food and living costs. Without good education and opportunity, the children of the disadvantaged are condemned to the same life. That is not what we want in NZ. Resources must be applied where they are needed.

BSc BA LLB, Criminal Barrister for 28 years in South Auckland. Raised in Otara. Lived in Otara most of my life. Lived in UK, Australia, Samoa. Ex-Norforce 7MD army reserves. Previously Otara Community Board, Auckland District Law Society councillor. BOTs Tangaroa and Hillary College. etc. Ex-Chair PI advisory to Manukau City Council. I believe in strong family values, the sanctity of human life, in the protection of our human and civil rights, accountability and responsibility of government.

I believe New Zealand is the best country in the world but the management of this nation over the last decades has not been for the nation's best interest. The tragic and devastating decisions over the last months has motivated me to support a peoples movement that started during the first lockdown in March 2020. What has evolved over the last few months is a party that can reclaim NZ for all the people. A country where our children and grandchildren can enjoy a better place than what we know.

My father is Welsh and mother Cook Islander. I currently work for a tier 1 construction company, Mt Wellington Highway, for the past 10 years. We build wonderful infrastructure for NZ and the Pacific Islands. I bring that expectation of delivery of outcomes to benefit the people of this electorate, where the present & previous governments have failed. Starting as a fitter and turner at Devonport dockyard, 12 years in the UK and France, returning to be a carer for my father with Parkinson's disease.
