Why I'm standing

I believe strongly in the preservation of New Zealand's territorial integrity, security, safety from any external threat. Thus the need to strengthen our NZ Defence Force to protect New Zealand from any Asia Pacific dictatorship while ensuring the growth of our economy so that more New Zealander can have better quality of life. Increased cost of living and crime needs to be addressed via better policing, civic education and successful rehabilitation programs like Man Up.

About me

I have worked as an academic in sociology London School of Economics and in psychology Monash University. I have also worked as a Territory Sales Executive with Telstra NZ, Assistant Manager for Telemarketing in City Developments, and ran in 1996 in Owairaka electorate as a candidate for Advance NZ and Deputy Leader, also 1999 with Peter Dunne's United Future Party combining professional and political experience that will add value for New Zealand.

My priorities
  1. Crack down on crime and truancy in schools via civics education & better policing.
  2. Enhance trade with our allies UK, Canada, US and Australia EU to create jobs.
  3. Enshrine the Bill of Rights and legislate that only New Zealand Citizens can vote.
