2020 ACT Candidate for the Waikato Electorate

James from Flagstaff

Greetings neighbours,

Just a very quick post to introduce myself following the announcement of most of our candidates this week.

I’m a Hamilton local and live here with my wife and daughter. I own and manage several small businesses, including an immigration law firm. I also work for a large NGO in the mental health sector, and am involved in a range of community organisations (with a focus on the arts and music).

Happy to answer what I can, but please keep it civil. Political candidates from all parties receive an unbelievable amount of abusive emails and messages from the general public and I would quite like to discourage that where I can!

Please note that I generally won’t be posting on Neighbourly, rather the best way to stay up to date is by liking my public page: www.facebook.com...

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
