The electorate is a diverse one with eight schools classed decile 10 and while 14 decile 1.
A fifth of the population identify as Māori, while a quarter were born overseas. It is poverty, however, she wants to focus on.
Edmonds says she didn’t realise how deep the poverty was in Porirua until she began campaigning in the electorate. Covid-19 has made that inequality worse, she says.

Photographer Louise Thomas snapped the image on a recent expedition to photograph some new bird species.
"I've had an amazing 24-hours. Yesterday, my faithful porter and I went out to Matiu/Somes Island. We saw sooty shearwaters, kākāriki, aka red-crowned parakeet, numerous skinks, and on the way back a spotted shag near the Days Bay wharf.
All three birds are new species for me. I'm afraid I have no idea what sort of skink this is, I think common skink, but it has a dark iris? Suggestions from those in the know much appreciated - I'm going cross-eyed trying to work it out on the internet.
Funny story, both Chris and I thought this was a railway spike holding up the wood on the edge of the step, then Chris said "wait, that spike has little hands."

Marie lives in Tawa and she has worked with illustrator, Rachel Doragh, another Tawa resident, and noted translator, Piripi Walker, developing the series of interactive bilingual picture books published by Nana’s Shed Books over the last three years.
She says she is now feeding her passion for getting children to engage with and thoroughly enjoy books as she did as a child. It is a joy to have Marie’s books here at SoulyNZ and she works on a Friday from 10am to 1pm, so you can get her to sign them too if you want.

Helen Woolner was a student at Porirua College and at the age of 16 found herself pregnant. Instead of staying at home to care for her baby, Helen enrolled in He Huarahi Tamariki (HHT), the school for teenage mums founded by Susan Baragwanath in Porirua.

Instead of staying at home to care for her baby, Helen enrolled in He Huarahi Tamariki (HHT), the school for teenage mums founded by Susan Baragwanath in Porirua.
Helen was this week’s guest speaker and told us about her family and her achievements. Her decision to continue her education was critical and eventually led to a PhD and a career in research.
After four years at HHT, a helping hand came in 2005, when our club awarded Helen a scholarship to study for a BSc. at Victoria University. She told us that the scholarship inspired her to work hard, so as not to let us down. After that, she did a Masters's degree and then a PhD, also at Victoria.
Helen’s field of work is the study of natural products, and more recently traditional medicines, for which she was awarded a Post-doctoral fellowship by the Health Research Council.
Many useful compounds have their origins in nature, which equips various species to defend themselves from predators and diseases. Examples are morphine, penicillin, and Taxol, a chemotherapy drug that comes from the bark of the yew tree.
Helen is focussing on the science behind traditional medicines, especially those coming from the Pacific.
She is one of many women who have graduated from HHT and gone on to great success. Besides having a strong intellect, Helen has a philosophy of hard work and self-reliance which is plain to see.
Now she is Doctor Helen Woolner, and in demand as an inspirational speaker.
