Kia ora Hamilton – It’s Tama Potaka
Approaching my 170th day as your MP for Hamilton West, I have actively engaged with our community, listening to your concerns.
The rising cost of living, rampant crime, strained hospitals, and emergency housing crisis are challenges that I recognise. Together with my team, we have collaborated with community groups and held meetings with local nurses and the Hamilton Police, among others. Our hard work continues, and we will be organising public meetings throughout our electorate, addressing the pressing issues.
Join us on July 5th at 6:30pm at Western Community Centre, where Mark Mitchell will discuss crime in our community.
For any inquiries, please contact my team at Potaka.office@parliament.govt.nz or 07 834 3407. Kia kaha Hamilton West.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

Tributes flow for Paul Galletta
Paul Galletta, “a real Waikato guy”, was farewelled by police and the rugby community at FMG Stadium on Wednesday.
A crowd of nearly 1500 gathered to celebrate the life of Galletta, who died at the age of 62 on November 23.
Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
