I seek your support for WEL Energy Trust election
In 1986 I founded Houston Technology Group which designed the NZ Covid Tracer app before gifting the design to NZ (www.stuff.co.nz...). Today, we are still working hard to improve Kiwi lives through technology.
Born into poverty, this would not have been possible without NZ's generosity in allowing me to come to the Waikato in 1975.
I therefore seek re-election to WEL Energy Trust to continue paying back my debt.
Having been a trustee of Trust Waikato and WEL Trust for 11 years, a business owner of HTG for 37 years (and 8 years as a CA before then) I have the expertise to ensure that WEL Networks operates as a successful business and both the consumers and the community receive the maximum sustainable benefit from this $1.2b community asset.
I have been very fortunate to be joined by community and business leaders, Edgar Wilson, Natasha Harvey and Rachel Afeaki to form the MORE Discounts & Grants team.
Please visit www.MOREdiscountsandgrants.co.nz... to read about the $200m profit generated from WEL’s recent UFF sale and how the MORE Team plans to increase BOTH discounts and grants to help the entire community.
I will be very grateful if you would support us.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus? Vote in the poll, and add your comments below.
