Former Auckland mayoral candidate John Palino to stand for parliament
Hi neighbours,
John Palino has announced his intention to run in the 2020 general election despite not being in the country.
Palino, who is best known for his three unsuccessful campaigns for Auckland mayor, has signed on as a list candidate for the minor Tea Party.
But Palino is currently based in Florida, United States, after travelling to visit family at the end of last year and deeming it too dangerous to return due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
He says he will run his campaign from there and return if the Tea Party is “lucky and fortunate” to get enough votes.
The Taxpayers and Entrepreneurs Alliance formally registered earlier this year, and is running on a platform of support for business, opposition to capital gains taxes, opposition to recreational drugs, and embracing migration.
Palino was approached to stand by Tea Party co-leader John Hong, who ran alongside Palino in the Auckland race last year.
Do you think the fourth time is the charm for the once mayoral hopeful?
Heartbeats Cardiac Support and Rehab Group at St Heliers Community Centre
Heartbeats, the largest non-profit, community-led cardiac support group in New Zealand is meeting at the St Heliers Community Centre this Thursday, 12th February at 10:00am.
Meetings are informal, friendly and open to ALL heart patients, heart event survivors, their partners, family and whanau.
Having heart disease or facing major heart surgery can be lonely and very frightening. Come along and meet heart people who have all gone through the same thing, or are currently dealing with arrythmias, diabetes, COPD, or very high or low blood pressure.
Heartbeats is not a social group (although we are very social). It is a full support group for education, mental health support and helping with recovery and rehabilitation.
Hope to see you are our St Heliers/Glendowie Heartbeats launch on Thursday.
For more information: call Trent on 022 0606 199
