Politics doesn't have to be cruel, divisive, or punch down - we can choose differently. We can have thoughtful, honest leadership that gives a shit about people and planet, but we have to vote for it.
I'd be honoured to keep representing and championing the city of the future.

Did you know, Hamilton City Council doesn't have a tree policy? And we keep losing our trees, which is not good news.
If you have a spare two minutes, you could do the easiest climate action 👇

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers.
If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers.
INCLUDING DRIVERS.
The “war on cars” has always been a lie.

Would you like to learn about one of the ways councils get screwed over by the government? This government in particular, actually.
Let me tell you about how a speed limit change (or not change) could end up with Hamilton City Council being sued by one of our supermarket duopolies!

It’s so bizarre how Te Pāti Māori and the Greens are continually positioned by pundits as “radicals”when the impact of their time in coalition govts are things like whānau ora and insulated houses.
Meanwhile Act is treated like they are reasonable for wanting to re-write a founding document.

Took the car to work this morning as weather reports suggested it was going to rain all day (I don't like biking in the rain). That did not eventuate (typical). I hope all those who actually did bike in have a pleasant ride home, you're welcome
