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: 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.

Poll: Have you ever tried learning a language?
Hannah Westbury likes to chat with customers at her checkout - so much so that she’s learning sign language for one regular.
Paeroa-based Westbury has worked in Woolworths for the past seven years and moved to checkout a year ago.

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.
