Campaign fundraiser! Due to circumstances, I have an extremely limited number of new unused campaign posters for sale. These have been professionally printed by Phantom Billstickers on quality poster paper, just over A0 size at 131cm high x 92cm wide. /1

Ōtautahi friends, do you have room on your fence for my face? I'm campaigning for Council in Papanui Ward, and am in need of some sites for election signs, especially in the Redwood/Papanui area. Thanks to those who have already offered! Reposts appreciated too :)

I love a good graph (although they don't always give good news), and so does this guy. Thanks @clrenney.bsky.social for the presentation at tonight's Budget 2025 talk.

I had an early start last Friday to head up to Pōhara Marae in Waikato to support the Tuia youth leadership programme. I've had the privilege of mentoring young people participating in Tuia for several years now. As always, it was inspiring to spend time with young leaders from around the motu.

A beautiful day for the opening of Ōtautahi Christchurch Pride today. Was it just me, or was it hot? Thanks Sophie for the photo!
