Come along to our community meeting
Hi Neighbours,
As your local MP, I hold regular community meetings with informative speakers on a range of timely topics. We have hosted ambassadors, the Mayor, Reserve Bank Governors, animal welfare advocates and IRD tax experts.
Each year, I invite councillors serving the Epsom electorate to give a report on council activities. The decisions of the Council are often felt more acutely than those of central government, so it is important to hear from those making those decisions on our behalf.
On 24 July, I will be hosting Desley Simpson, the Auckland Councillor for the Orakei Ward at the Somervell Presbyterian Church 497 Remuera Road. The meeting will begin at 2:00pm, with light refreshments available from 1:30pm.
I do hope that you will be able to join me at what promises to be a most interesting presentation.
I am accepting pre-submitted questions so we can maximise the time available. Please email your questions to mpepsom@parliament.govt.nz.
Please register quickly to secure your place. You can register by calling 09 522 7464 or emailing mpepsom@parliament.govt.nz. Please note there is very limited parking available at the venue.
I do hope you will be able to join.
Authorised by David Seymour, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
66.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
33.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.6% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.4% I want to be able to choose.
-
47% Against. I want to deal with people.
