People-first leader and CEO | former mayor | doctor of economic development | museum director | farmer. Deeply in love with fixing things others can’t.
@sootytweet The current KDC council has denied all Kaipara voters a chance at referendum at this election - the only council to deny its people their voice. We’d all be better for knowing what everyone thinks now … not just a few. That evidence could’ve been used for affirmative decision.
@Infideliter2022@sootytweet Council should focus on delivering core services and infrastructure efficiently and effectively, keeping rates low while maintaining growth for tmrw. With elected members who seek to serve others and don’t have fingers in the pie.
As an undefeated two-term Kaipara Mayor I’ve been encouraged to put my name forward for the mayoralty and a Better Kaipara Again.

Hey @nzherald - Dargaville is NOT in the Far North. It’s the largest town in Kaipara District, not in Far North District. Pls correct the story!
People in western Northland are now at risk.

Mon 6 May and new unconfirmed report of yet another slip on Brynderwyns, yesterday, following from one reported on last week.
More slips equal more delay until “normal” transport links return and Northland economy can get back into business. #northlandexpressway needed @nztamain
Loggjng truck has rolled on the main detour route south of Whangarei, on the Paparoa-Oakleigh route.
In the rain.
Difficult first day of the new temporary system for @WakaKotahiAkNth.
Stay safe out there everyone.
@JKruppster@NewsroomNZ I’ve always been opposed to 3W for its grave flaws for NZ society. Having served on Govt Working Group illuminated many dark aspects about what the policy really meant.
Money/affordability aspects are clever smokescreen for what was really going on in laws to be cancelled soon.
@NewshubPolitics Excellent news. This time the solution can’t be allowed to include the seeds of future civil war, as the last model most certainly did.
