DIARY OF A CAMPAIGNER: TRAGEDY IN THE HOOD




DAY FOUR:
Tuesday 24 August 2010
It is 23 days until the ballot papers start arriving in the letter boxes and 46 days until ‘D’ day decision day on 09th October.

Today was a mix of campaign planning and working day job projects. In the morning I met with my very good school friend Andrew Couper at Dizengoff Ponsonby. He’s one of my political sounding boards, a libertarian, conservative, and pragmatist. He was clever at high school, he hasn’t changed.

I intended to Shop knock at Mt Albert Shopping centre but tragically Gillard’s Chemist was robbed last night with fatal consequences for 43 year old unemployed man Alan Jones. Tragic situation for all involved. The neighbouring shop owners are now feeling vulnerable and intimidated. Local Councils should be there for these hard working business owners at this time, but more importantly Local Councils should be there for the community before tragedy strikes.
I’ll go to the Mt Albert Shops apopo.
