Our soapbox, their pitch

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi everyone,

Mayoral hopefuls Andrew King and Lisa Lewis managed to put their best foot forward at the inaugural Waikato Times Hamilton Soapbox session - albeit in their own unique way.

Check out their pitches here.

How do you think they did? Please put NFP if you do not want your comment used in any further news coverage.

The next Soapbox will be held at The Riverbank Lane on Friday, September 13, at 8.30am. We'd love to see you there.

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
