Hamilton Eastward candidate:
MUST-READ COUNCIL POST
What I am standing for:
✅ People and the environment first.
✅ Community connectivity and engagement - with each other and with our council.
✅ Effective and efficient spending of ratepayer's money.
✅ Housing - Affordable homes (that are actually affordable) and high-density housing.
✅ Sustainability and future-proofing - more green spaces, more biodiversity (more planting of native trees), safe cycleways to encourage people to use their bikes (part of infrastructure too).
✅ New initiatives to help combat suicide, domestic violence, mental illness, and homelessness and assist the working poor.
✅ Hemp farming and medical cannabis - I believe this bill is going to pass in the national referendum next year. Hamilton needs to be prepared. There are millions of dollars to be made for our local economy, and potentially hundreds of jobs to be created. (This does not mean recreational cannabis).

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
