Hey neighbours,

In the lead up to the 2020 election, Stuff is keeping voters up to date with what’s happening in their electorate, through Neighbourly. Here’s what you need to know about the candidates in the running to be Takanini’s MP.

At the October 17 election, New Zealanders will have the opportunity to choose their regional spokesperson.

Through the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, those enrolled can vote for the party they want as well as a local representative.

Why does my MP matter?

The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you’re having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn’t enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.

I am so excited to finally have my product ready to launch and to post here in this amazing forum.

Let me introduce you to Dolly Mumma. We want to show you that there is more to Indian food that Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala. With our ready to cook Indian pastes you can not only make a great tasting curry but they can also be used in all your everyday Kiwi cooking.

My grandmum, Dolly Mumma, taught me that good cooking is about flavor. “It doesn’t matter if your curry is not like mine, what matters is the love”. Make sure they can taste the love and they will love the taste, she would say.

Our products will give you a taste of the real India and have been made with generous servings of love. Try them now - we look forward to your creations!

You can buy them online and have them delivered across Auckland.
Or, contact us directly on 02102553016 for pickup from Manurewa/Takanini.
