Seeking your vote: for Waimairi Community Board
I am seeking re-election as your Community Board member of our Waimairi Ward. I am a LOCAL - I live and pay rates in our ward, and have done so for over 17 years.
Over the past weeks, I have walked the streets of our neighbourhood and met many of you. If I could not meet you, you would have found my election flyer near your front door (or in your letter-box), together with the flyers of my team-mates Sam MacDonald and Pereen Singh.
Having completed my first term, I can say I have certainly enjoyed the role and was able to make a positive contribution too. In particular, I immensely enjoyed the people-interaction aspect which this role entails, as well as being able to put rate-payers money to good use – for community groups as well as individuals; and for small and big projects which make the city a better place to live for everyone.
I promise working with the same passion, integrity, transparency and enthusiasm that I have demonstrated in the past years, and to continue to make a positive difference in the lives of people around me.
### PLEASE VOTE FOR ME. ###

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
