My broad political issues I'm excited by the leadership shown by the Green Party in all areas of Government policy. For me the major issues I am interested in advancing revolve around the sustainable rebuild of earthquake damaged Christchurch. This is an opportunity for this city to make giant leaps forward into terms of smart urban planning and world class public transport. I'm a keen cyclist, and want to be able to encourage others into this great mode of travel with the provision of safe separated cycleways on all main streets.
