Questions to all candidates.
1# Over 70s get a free parking concession disabled mobility card users used to receive this same parking concession, but this was removed some years ago. The disabled community was not consulted before the law was changed.
Why were we not consulted?
I will be lobbying for the return of the same parking concession as over 70s get for mobility card holders would you support this?
Costing quoted at the time of the law change indicated $200,000 per year income from issuing fines and parking charges for disabled people.
If yes excellent if no please explain why not?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
