Time and again, ratepayers have been let down by Auckland Council with unaffordable rates hikes, wasteful spending on vanity projects, and more ineffective ideologically-driven 'robin-hood' funding to special-interest groups. It’s time to give Council a wake-up call and focus on what matters in Albany. As a barrister and solicitor of the High Court, current member of Hibiscus and Bays Local Board, and Justice of the Peace, I have the practical and legal expertise needed to challenge council waste and ensure that ratepayers' money is spent wisely. By voting for me as an ACT Local candidate, you know what you are going to get: I will stop unaffordable rates hikes, end the Council’s war on cars, reject all race-based policies, and protect our local community by advocating for a permanent Ōrewa seawall. If you want to see common sense back around the council table, please give me one of your votes.
