Kia Ora, Greetings, Talofa lava, Malo e lelei, Fakalofa lahi atu, Kia Orana, Bula Vinaka, Taloha ni, Namaste, 

 

I believe in communities who care for each other and respect it’s environment. I have an active interest in what is happening in our area of Whau where I live with my wife and am a guardian to a teenager. I run my own small business. I have also served the community with various roles with the Labour Department and the Ministry of Social Developement.

Whau is a very vast area with different needs, concerns and challenges and I look forward to representing what is positive and rewarding in the hard working ward of Whau.

I value what people have to contribute in the community and hope you will allow me to be a strong advocate on your behalf. I am an elder with the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa NZ. I am also an elected member to the Pacific Island Board to Auckland City.

I would appreciate your vote for me and the Future Whau team to serve and represent you and our wider community.

Top 5 Issues

1. Ensuring the voices of the people WHAU are heard in the decision making processes of the Auckland Council - decisions must be as locally as possible and consultation must be genuine.
   
   
   
2. Rates - these should be decided fairly accrodingly to the ability of the household to pay.
3. I say 'NO' to user-pays for water, Water is a basic human need that should be easily accessible at minimal cost to the everyone.
4. Excellent community facilities such as parks, libraries and halls for the enjoyment of all.
5. Working for maximum accountability and transparency of Auckland Council Controlled Organisations.
