Why I'm standing
I believe that the NZ we know and love is hanging by a thread. Things are failing everywhere, all at once. Woke extremism and political squabbling isn't going to save us. We need to take action to give real hope back to our people, our families, and our communities. Let's take back our country, back from those global and local influencers who threaten our sovereignty.
About me
I would make a good elected representative being that Rangitīkei is a farming electorate, and I have a good insight into what could happen here, looking at the Netherlands' farming situation. I want to do my utmost best, so that what is happening there, does not happen to the Rangitīkei farming industry. NZ First has similar policies to the Dutch political party that defends farmers in the Netherlands. I can help stop the tide.
My priorities
- Repeal the National Policy Statement, give farmers back their flexibility, maximise economic value.
- Replace Pharmac. Provide the new model an extra $1.3 billion on top of the present $1.2 billion.
- Tackle the cost of living crisis. Take on foreign owned banks and supermarkets. Remove GST off food.
