And as Associate Minister of Transport, I pushed through the Clean Car policies that have led to a huge...

I did this knowing that...

After many years working in early childhood education a role on the Otago Regional Council seems a logical step to me. It’s a chance to lead the protection of our precious environment for our children and future generations. The New Zealand early childhood curriculum Te Whāriki continues to inspire me with its principles of relationships, empowerment, holistic development, and community.   I spent my early years in Green Island, Dunedin and completed my schooling in Napier.

In Aotearoa, there is enough to go around. Our tax system, alongside income support, should support a fair distribution of resources so everyone can live with dignity.  Successive governments have failed to ensure we have a fair tax system, which in turn means there is not enough revenue to provide the standard of public services New Zealanders deserve.

But it’s still not enough. More has to be done, and soon. Later this year the government will be working on bringing agriculture into the Emissions Trading Scheme by 2025 as laid out in the climate...
