Why I'm standing

I'm standing for the Green Party because I believe that everyone, including the disabled community, has the right to live a good life. Only the Greens will take bold action on climate, protecting nature and rebalancing wealth so everyone has what they need. I am asking for your party vote, so we can get more Green MPs in parliament and shape a government that puts people and planet first.

About me

As a person with a lived experience of disability, I intrinsically understand many of the barriers that disabled people and other communities of disadvantage face and want to ensure their voices are heard. However I am not seeking to be your electorate MP. I am asking you to give your party vote to the Green Party so we can create a fair, inclusive Aotearoa that works for everyone.

My priorities
  1. Provide a guaranteed income of at least $385 a week to everyone.
  2. Build 35,000 new homes over five years so we all have a place to call home.
  3. Create disability legislation underpinned by enforceable disability standards.
