Why I'm standing

Very unhappy with the hypocritical crime generating prohibition creating and feeding NZ's law and disorder problem and pathetic representation in parliament (pre- and post-referendum). Convenient burying of any debate around criminalisation as key driver of alienation, and criminality and crime.

About me

Degrees in computer science and arts. Capable analyst and communicator. Have second-to-none experience in community environmental work (clean up NZ campaign since 1989), a passion for making NZ a better place and liberating us all from the divisive, alienating prohibition regime.
