Systems thinker understanding that the system is broken and fixing it will enable us remedy the global poly-crisis.

Non-violence, Transparency, Inclusiveness and Responsibility are principles that guide me, personally and politically.
Respecting Te Tiriti, which I see as Parliament’s foundational document, is essential to the ongoing ‘Constitutional Conversation’ our country urgently needs to address and change a governance system that has been corrupted by neoliberalism.
