As a Christian I believe the window of opportunity for change has opened and I would like to meet with people including iwi leaders to look for solutions to address the current issues that we face at this point in time in our history. I am not able to do this on my own I want to be solution-focussed and I dont have all the answers. If we can do this together for Te Tai Tokerau let's give it our very best. My vision is to see the glory of God bless Ngapuhi-nui-tonu, its people, and heal their land.

I have worked in Northland for many years in health, with the NDHB and a short time with Ngati Hine before studying at Te Wananga o Raukawa. I returned to my Iwi and managed our land claims for 10 years assisting them through two inquiry districts. I have worked for Te Runanga o Whaingaroa, volunteered with Nga Whetu o Te Wa Kaikohe and taken on a few independent contracts before retiring. I am currently active in delivering weekly food parcels to our local community and enjoy church life.

Because I believe passionately in helping my people to shake off the 200 years of oppression that this racist white supremacist system has imposed us through their malignant and vile racist white supremacist legal and justice laws which have been used to steal all of our lands, assets, and resources, and enslave and oppress our people.

I live according to the following whakatauki: freedom is never given by the oppressor, but must be demanded by the oppressed. In 1997 I was sentenced to 2.5 years for my act of political rebellion when I smashed the racist white supremacist America's Cup with a slegdehammer. An act I am still incredibly proud of. It sickens me to the pit of my guts that the NZ government and the Auckland Council are spending over $240 million on this atrocity while thousands of our people are homeless. I am a revolutionary and will always be one. Running for the Pakeha parliament is simply part of that kaupapa. As a beast can be destroyed from both within and without.

I am a woman who has had enough of the enormous damage inflicted on our society by cannabis prohibition. Prohibition is responsible for both the high levels of cannabis use by our young people and the harsh impact that cannabis convictions have on their career. Legalizing cannabis, regulating the industry and adding an age-limit, are the best ways to help solve these problems.

I am a mother, grandmother and a great-grandmother, who lives and works in the Hokianga. I do community work in Kohukohu at The Harald building doing haircuts (qualified hairdresser, 20 years), named provider at the Rawene Hospital and Whangarie Hospital cancer unit of the cannabis oils. I'm the treasurer for my marae 'Morehu' for the last 2 and half years in a little place called Pawarenga. I attend the local market four Saturdays of the month with my oils. Educating, giving quality of life.
