Why I'm standing

To promote democracy and deal with issues that concern us.

About me

I grew up with politics and I have a good understanding. I am a qualified practical academic with a BSc, NZCE, and a tradesman. In the past, I have been a union representative for workers I worked with (in construction), and been maths student representative at university and have been associated with Unemployed Workers Rights. I've been in the building and engineering and education sector for over 40 years.

My priorities
  1. Propose no diesel tax for vehicles that can be driven with a standard drivers licence (under 3 ton).
  2. Work with party policy that is appropriate with electorate.
  3. Support farmers and economic growth.
