Estate agents sacked for racist posts stand for Whau local board
Kia ora neighbours, a husband and wife who were cut from a real estate company they worked for over racist social media comments are standing in the local body elections.

Paul Davie has a political background and ran unsuccessfully for the Conservative Party in the 2017 General Election. He stood in the New Lynn electorate.
