The Hamilton Soapbox: Hamilton's mayoral candidates step up
It's an idea which mixes the old with the new. We call it: The Hamilton Soapbox.
Starting this Friday, the Waikato Times will invite two candidates standing in this year's Hamilton mayoral race to step onto our soapbox and talk to the people.

Each candidate will be given two minutes to share their vision for the city, and passersby will be encouraged to ask the candidates questions.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
