Standing for: Auckland Council - Manurewa Local Board; Auckland Council - Manurewa-Papakura Ward

Greetings,
Like you I want a strong Auckland Council which is responsive to its diverse communities. My highest priority will be to ensure that the maximum amount of authority is delegated to our local boards of Manurewa and Papakura. Local communities should make local decisions. I am of Dutch/Maori ancestry, have lived in Manurewa for 10 years and served 4 years as a Papatoetoe Community Board Member. Very active supporting the wider South Auckland community, my current roles include Manurewa Crimewatch Patrol Secretary, Manukau Districts Crimewatch Patrol Secretary and National Environmental Society Trustee. I have a Degree in Information Engineering, 18 years NZ industry experience and run a successful IT consultancy. As a keen swimmer I compete nationally with the Manukau Swim Masters team and surf at Piha in the summer. I would be proud to represent Manurewa−Papakura so vote Toa Greening for your Councillor

Question

Toa Greening's Reply

Prison for Manurewa?

I am opposed to the prison as it will have considerable socio-economic costs to Manurewa. I have been campaigning against the prison for the past 4 months, created www.stoptheprison.org.nz , been down at the markets collecting signatures and campaigned against the Womens prison in 2002 (see study I completed at website).

There is no need for the prison to been placed in Manurewa it should be placed at Paremoremo and the land for at the Womens prison developed for rehabilitation as originally planned.

We are looking for helpers on this issue.

Regards

Toa Greening
