LAUNCH

Tonight was the launch of the Albert Eden Roskill Citizen and Ratepayers team. Our Councillors are Chris Fletcher and Paul Goldsmith. And as you already know I'm running for the local board in Owairaka.

The launch was at the beautiful Rannoch House - the home of Arts Parton James Wallace. It's a beautiful home full of great Art work my favourite piece was a self portrait of Ralph Hotere. It was stunning - done when Ralph was younger,fitter, healthier.

We're a mixed bunch of aspirants, we have Pakeha, new Immigrant Asians and Pasifika. The makeup is reflective of the population we represent which is significant; 154,900.

We are undeniably centre-right, we support John Banks as our Mayor and the National Party as Government.

Now is the time for us all to take control of our City.

Let's put honest hard working people first ahead of intimidators and outright criminals. Let's prioritise real community needs ahead of politically-correct hyperbol. Let's make Auckland an affordable place to live whether we're in Ponsonby or Pukekohe, where safety of self extends to property. Let's work towards a better transport system that links and connects us all together in a City that nurtures great urban design while emphasizing protection of the environment.

We can do this together. Vote Citizens and Ratepayers - Let's make the Auckland region succeed.

  1. ka pai cousin i will support you

    who do i need to talk to about putting in lights along the bike track past St Lukes road? The bike track has just been extended through Kingsland complete with lights which makes is really safe - but it stops at St Lukes road - the cyclists coming from further out will always be in darkness both ways - we could really use some light - is that you?

  2. That's right more lights that's our responsibility as Local Board members to take care of these issues. Doesn't make sense to stop the lights at a crucial part of the cycle way.
