The Western Bay of Plenty has many serious issues to deal with: housing and homeless, high domestic violence rates, racism, poverty, and much more. How will the incoming Mayor lead the new council in ways to help solve these problems? It’s about much more than rates, roads and rubbish. We want to ask our Mayoral candidates questions around the social issues we deal with daily. Join us for the Mayoral Forum on: Monday 30th September at 4.30pm Village Hall at the Historic Village Book at: www.baylive.nz/event614
Their leadership dictates the quality of water in our rivers, at our beaches and ultimately, that which we drink. They manage domestic waste, sewage and "Un-tone" - Antoon Moonen storm water. Councils control development and maintenance of our local road network ensuring that pedestrians, cyclists, cars and trucks are able to use these roads safely and efficiently. They provide local parks, halls, libraries, pools and other community facilities. BOP Regional Council (previously Environment BOP) is responsible for the environmental management of our region and has just declared a climate emergency. What is it doing about that? It is funded to create and manage our public transport services; have they done well? Tauranga City’s representatives on the Regional Council have just been re-elected unopposed. Local authorities develop long term and annual ‘city plans’ that dictate how our cities grow, who can do what and where, which has a profound effect on the liveability of cities. The community has said it wants a compact city for many reasons, not the least of which is to reduce the financial burden of providing more expensive roading and other services for low-density urban sprawl. In contrast, land developers find it more profitable to create residential lots by continuing the urban sprawl. Councils also check that buildings are built properly and that they comply with national standards. Councils administer health standards in restaurants, alcohol licences, public art, and where you can walk your dog. On one hand we want our representatives to listen to our ‘wants’ as a community, but on the other hand we expect them to guide us in the ever increasingly complex task of creating a modern city delivering world class design and facilities. If Henry Ford, inventor of the first mass- produced car, had asked people what they wanted, they might have told him ‘faster horses’. Different sectors of our community have different expectations from local government. It is important then that every sector of our community undertakes to consider what is important to it and to convey this to elected councillors. We cannot afford to have representatives who are selected by one sector of our community and who are not committed to outcomes benefiting the wider community. Have you been well represented by your current representatives? Have they demonstrated that they understand technical issues involved in creating a great city? Have they spent our rates payments wisely? Have they been successful in delivering on their specific election agendas? Do they have specific goals and can they be trusted to pursue vigorously these for the wider good? If existing elected members do have goals why have they not already been achieved? Experience and knowledge gained as a councillor or mayor is a valuable asset, but equally if councillors are unable to use this knowledge for the benefit of our community we need to consider carefully what our options are. It is easy to err on the side of caution - it’s human nature. Too often we over estimate the size of risks, under estimate our ability to manage them, and downplay the cost of inaction. We often stick to the status quo when we know it will hurt us now or in the future. I urge you to think carefully about what we want as a community, what we are prepared to contribute to that, and who demonstrates the ability to work as a team to deliver. .
soon.. See you again M. Antoon

OPINION: The late and laughingly great Robyn Williams once said “Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s Party!’”
Let’s hand over the keys to forward thinkers
F
or many of us especially those with the south side of sixty on the clock, getting to another Spring is like a lifeline. “Haere mai Summer” we say “Warm us up and breath fire into those cold hangi stones deep inside, who have been lying dormant since the first feijoas of Autumn hit the ground and we hit the heat pumps.” So, here’s the thing with Spring. Is it the fare welling of the old and cold or the heralding in of new beginnings and long hot summer’s? September and Spring for me brings out the inner optimist who seems to have been in slumber mode for far too long. Just when Winter has done its best to turn us into flu filled tissue soaked sad asses, along comes an iti of hope Maori call Koanga (Spring). Ko is to dig and Spring is a time to prepare the land for the growing season, and like my old Coromandel hippy mates used to say “Life is a garden – if we dig it” Driving in to work this morning there was a bit of both saying hi and goodbye all along the side-walks and council approved launching pads, for signs to sell promises by councillors and Mayoral wannabees. It was the line-up that got me laughing a la Robyn Williams. In between each photo shopped well-manicuredvote for me bill board were mixed messages of Dog Training, Blossom Festivals and Rug Sales. Imagine the
confusion on the faces of our foreign visitors with limited knowledge of what goes on here in the Springtime, especially in Election Year. But then again, the sign further on up the road that says “Road Works” must be equally confusing. There’s fun to be had by spinning these signs, not physically but verbally. Coming over the Kaimai there was a sign “Vote Jan Barnes for Mayor of Matamata” to which I made a mental as anything, working class man kind of note to self - change Jan to Jimmy. Further up the motorway heading to Auckland the council candidate with the last name Cox had a myriad or mental as anything notes to be made to lighten up an early spring morning and the more I look at election signs the funnier they become. Take Pick Rick for example, you don’t have to be a creative marketing guru to spin that into something far more sensible. One candidate claims to have the tautoko (blessing) of tangata whenua. This has raised the eyebrows and the ire of many local Maori who have never seen her on any local Marae so perhaps the Murray in her middle name could be changed to Maori if this is the vote she is hoping to capture. So, what will this election be about? What will be the kicker that gets the new fresh faces across the line and into the corridors of power in local body politics? Money and Mana - Whare and Forward
Thinking, are the fire starters to get my hangi stones warm when it comes to voting. No longer will it be enough to promise every lolly in the party pack scramble and like many of my mates we are looking to leadership that really does understand Mana not money is the currency of success our Rangatira running for council should be aspiring toward. A very wise and respected Kaumatua once told me Mana was all about the ability to do good deeds for the benefit of others and not yourself, and that is what we need now more than ever if we are to consider the crisis we have in housing and homelessness. Of all the candidates standing, Councillor Terry Malloy must be mentioned alongside Mayor Garry Webber as both these community kingpins have been at our sides since the day we opened our first whare for the homeless here in Tauranga Moana. Water could well be another key issue more so in the national elections next year. If only I could have foreseen water costing more than petrol at a petrol station 20 short years ago. Then I could have built a thousand new homes for the homeless and still had enough left over for a couple of stadiums, museums and half a dozen iconic attractions, such as the Warrior Statue equal in size to the Liberty one in New York to welcome overseas visitors to our shores. We get a chance once every three years to make a difference in our
Columnist, Tommy Kapai Wilson
communities by voting in who will serve us with Manna and not just for money. We get a chance to hand over the keys to our cities to forward thinkers who can drive us into the future, and see over the horizon to what our kids will inherit by the decisions they make today The challenge is for us all to look past the promises made on flash billboards with mixed messages and photo shopped faces and vote for change, because what is happening in housing and the ‘soul’ of our city is unacceptable. If spring is the time for change, a time to prepare the lands for a fruitful summer and beyond, then let’s start with voting in fresh faces as our leaders. Fresh forward thinking faces who can come down off their high horses and flash bill-boards and be there for mana and not money. Tommy Kapai, Chief Imagination Officer

Candidates Survey – Read Online before you vote! Some interesting discoveries have been made by Income Equality Aotearoa NZ area group, “Closing the Gap” Tauranga, with its survey of the candidates in the upcoming local body elections. CtG chairman Peter Malcolm says the questions asked of the district, regional and city councils has drilled into basic issues and attitudes. He said some candidates have not responded to the survey which could be telling in itself. The questions in the survey revolved around income wealth equality, the living wage, wellbeing, affordability of transport, the provision of social and community housing, salaries of local body employees and the rating system. “Closing the Gap” says there is a significant social cost in having high inequality, of which New Zealand have in abundance, so of course having sympathetic local representatives is important to us all. In the survey there was space for extra comment and many have taken
the opportunity to explain their positions which is certainly a plus for democracy. For income wealth inequality: CtG’s survey revealed 60 percent of respondents think there is problem enough that local bodies should step in and show leadership. They believe a good start is to pay at least the “living wage” to all its own employees and contractors’ staff and consider going even further by encouraging other employers to do the same. Less than 10 percent believe the equality gap is not an issue. Other questions: Local transport, including public transport; Over 50 percent of the respondents say public transport should be free for all at specific times. Social and community housing; Most think councils should be involved to some degree. The rating system; over 60 percent of respondents think an investigation should be undertaken. Salaries of council staff; nearly 80 percent think this knowledge should
Tauranga is facing a number of crises. Urban Development has not been well managed which has created a dire situation. We are one of the most expensive cities in the world to buy a house relative to income. We have highest use of motor vehicles yet in spite of woeful roading infrastructure and public transport system, our climate and beaches draw new residents to the city. We are inundated with candidates for role of Mayor and councillors, many saying they can fix these woes. A few weeks back the ‘Bayfair Underpass Alliance’ - an alliance of community groups and schools staged a protest at Matapihi objecting to the removal of the existing underpass between Matapihi and Bayfair. One of the largest protest marches seen in Tauranga, protesters included children, with one addressing the crowd to describe the difficulties she would face should the underpass be removed. Family groups, cyclists, elderly, shop keepers, and a large group on mobility scooters. The wider community does not realise that the Bayfair Underpass is the only means by which pedestrians or cyclists can easily and safely cross State Highway 2 at Bayfair, a critical connection point in our city wide transport network. Tauranga City Council is not at fault on this occasion. NZTA is removing the underpass as part of roading changes between Baypark and Bayfair. NZTA manage state highways according to Government policy. This project does not comply with Government’s transport policies - it is a
be publicly available. The Coalition Government’s wellbeing budget/ approach; over 60 percent believe councils should support a wellbeing approach. Mr Malcolm says while the survey is a “convenient” snapshot of candidates for the voters in helping them decide, another good addition is to attend candidate meetings. The full survey results are available on the “Closing the Gap” website www. closingthegap.org.nz and Bay Online using the short link: BayLive.nz/ctg. The full results make it possible to see the actual responses of candidates who answered the survey. For more information contact: Peter Malcolm on 022 308 6982 or email: peter@closingthegap.org.
THE INCOME EQUALITY PROJECT More equal societies are better for all
hangover from previous Government’s ‘Roads of National Significance’. The flyovers being built will currently be just one lane in each direction. Tauranga City Council claims that they will be congested in less than 9 years. Mayor Greg Brownless has written to the Minister and NZTA expressing his opposition to the removal of the underpass. Councillors, in particular John Robson also strongly oppose its removal and have been supporting the community, but admits that NZTA makes these decisions. Mayor Brownless points out that removal of the underpass will not only disadvantage pedestrians who will have to cross the Bayfair roundabout through 4 sets of traffic lights. This equates to two lanes of traffic being stopped in excess of 1,400 times per day to allow pedestrians, cyclists, and mobility scooters to cross. Everyone, drivers included will be worse off. Managing our city is not an easy task, and there is no doubting the commitment of our Mayor, and some councillors who do their best to achieve better outcomes for the community. It requires a great range of skills, much determination, boldness, and a delicate touch to bring together in harmony the disparate groups who have their own interests and political agendas.

Or is a leader who can work with all team members to get the job done what is required? My leadership style comes from years of training business owners how best to lead their teams. I am open, honest and have great integrity. My goal is transparency and for all parts of the community to be heard. I have high hopes for this city I was born in, grew up in, and now raise my children in. I believe that with people who have the best interests of the city at heart in leadership positions, great things can happen.

GREG BROWNLESS LEADING CHANGE
for our Future Tauranga City Council - Mayor
SENSIBLY MAKING THE IMPROVEMENTS YOU NEED WHO I AM: A committed resident, Tauranga has been my home for 33 years. I seek practical solutions. Following my time as a volunteer and contractor in Asia after the tsunami, I was awarded the NZ Special Services Medal. This changed my perspective on life and later I gifted my business to the Legacy Charitable Trust which has now donated more than $3 million to local organisations. I believe in leading by example.
MY VISION: A focus on transport and roading to get the city working efficiently. We can then invest in infrastructure to cater for present and future growth. This will enable housing to be constructed in new and existing areas to cope with an acute accommodation shortage. Once the basics are right we can support improvements to parks and sportsfields, arts and heritage facilities. With our treasured harbour and beaches Tauranga will continue to be an attractive environment for living, recreation and business.
MY ACHIEVEMENTS: My first term as Mayor has been challenging with lingering legacies of past administrations, but change is well under
way. I was instrumental in the appointment of a new CEO who has gone about improving the performance and culture of the organisation.
It’s vital that investment in infrastructure keeps pace with growth. The road and rail links to the Port are the most important in New Zealand. I will continue to advocate strongly to Government for investment for infrastructure that benefits us all.
I’M ADVOCATING FOR: •
Under my mayoralty we’ve seen: • The opening of the tidal steps and waterfront area. • The successful completion of the Southern Pipeline which will enhance our sewerage treatment and stop overflows due to system shortfalls. • The commencement of the Waiari Water Project to provide this valuable resource into the future and end water restrictions. • The opening of the University of Waikato Tauranga campus. • Completion of the Bay Oval project and lighting which is attracting international matches. • Arts, sports and culture flourishing. • Council step in to fund roading project planning when Government has failed to honour its commitments. • Tauranga continuing to lead New Zealand in GDP growth. In my second term I want to continue important projects that are done with and for the community, not to the community. I’ll continue my style of reporting on projects, both success and failure, and not hiding behind confidentiality for convenience.

Keeping Tauranga Racecourse green and not cluttered with housing developments. 3 lane traffic flow solution for Turret Rd. Regional and alternative funding for regional facilities, not just from Tauranga ratepayers. Government giving a share of GST on new development to relieve ratepayers from some of the costs. Continued public ownership of water. Opening up more land for much needed housing once the roads are sorted.
Maintaining and improving our beaches, parks and reserves, and keeping the city clean and green are high priority. This term I’ve started much needed change at Council. It’s real and measurable change. My commitment to Tauranga is proven and I have the interests of all our community at heart.

“The True Role of the Mayor is to Bring Justice to the People” My vision for Tauranga is a city with its arterial roads opened up again so the city can breathe and the traffic can flow through freely. Seeing our airport become an international Airport to quickly reach our most popular destination, Australia quickly, without the nightmare of having to go to Auckland first. For Tauranga to have a fast passenger Train service Papamoa / airport and The Mount into Tauranga City Central at the Strand. Stage two, connecting to Te Puke and Katikati. A city that processes its own waste, converting methane gases collected into electricity and later collecting the solid waste left behind and cleanly burning it to produce more electricity. Do you want our waste going to the Waikato into a landfill close to the Waikato River as it does now? If No, then…

We have an opportunity to shape a vibrant city, one that supports our health and well-being while ensuring future generations thrive. It’s time to decide on the future we want for ourselves and our kids (and their kids) in this beautiful small city. I hope you choose a team for our incoming council that has diversity of life experience, fresh thinking and drive. Here are the three areas that I know I can contribute to. These are areas I have sound experience in, and deep passion for.
Smarter transport
A vision for our future
I’d like to contribute towards a future transport plan we can all get excited about: A Fast intercity train; double tracked line direct to our port and an integrated Public transport system, a completed cycle network, a ferry service, walkways and streets for people of all ages.
I want to be proud of the city we are handing to our grandkids. None of us want to hand over concrete parks, sprawl, car dependency and a huge pile of rubbish. We need to bring nature back in to our city planning. Natural systems for stormwater, streetscapes that support biodiversity and smart infrastructure that enhances rather than impacts our environment.
Stronger communities It is proven that when communities participate in their own solutions, it not only achieves better outcomes, but also saves a lot of money by avoiding misguided or over engineered projects. We have a wealth of history, skills, compassion and creativity in our local communities. I’d like to see Council transform the whole culture of engagement to be more about enabling, listening and collaborating.
Get in touch You can find my CV and engage with issues on my website www.heidihughes.co.nz, Facebook Heidi Hughes Candidate and LinkedIn Heidi Hughes. Advertorial by Heidi Hughes, At Large.

In my profession as a traffic STMS, I have seen my share of accidents and fatalities on our roads and I have a plan to change that, but we will have to work together to improve the situation.
We have a voting-chance to decide the future we want today, with housing so expensive, I want to examine more environmentally sustainable affordable housing, not the 5-bedroom monsters no one can afford except Airbnb visitors. Let’s create a community where locals can afford to live, in a city that we can all call home.

Tauranga OUR FUTURE TOGETHER
Born and bred here in Tauranga, I am proud to be raising a young family of my own in this vibrant city. With a background in broadcasting, bilingual and a public speaker, I know the benefits of healthy communication. It creates connection, giving us a broader understanding of each other to develop enduring relationships. We live in a beautiful place of natural beauty and bountiful resources. Built upon a rich history, Tauranga has lived up to its name as a place of ‘safe anchorage’ for generations, connecting many people, creating a diverse and dynamic economic hub, supporting our entire nation. People connectivity is essential for smart growth in Tauranga. We cannot hope to grow in the right direction without first understanding each other’s values; the things we care for. Our families, our health and environment, our culture and heritage, our livelihood and business.
ourfuturetogether.co.nz
These ideals we should prioritise in our city planning. Let’s grow our city with our values intact. Our Tauranga, our future together.
` Engage - Effective communication Let’s have real and respectful engagement with community and council that’s ongoing, rather than crisis or project-based conversations.
` Plan - Smart planning for growth Let’s think ‘big picture’ while considering impacts on us all. We need to implement a strategic direction for the long term that prioritises our shared values, with enough detail and clear strategy, but also has enough room for some flexibility.
` Connect - Moving about Tauranga efficiently Our roading is failing and will continue to do so. We need to explore alternative options for inner city transport like rail, carpool lanes, lime scooters and cycle ways to ease traffic congestion and help diminish our carbon footprint.

Terry Molloy Te Papa Welcome Bay Ward
Welcome Bay - I had it right thirteen years ago. In 2006, when the Welcome Bay roundabout lights were proposed with modelling showing they would work. My proposed solution was to first fix Hairini, Turret Road, Fifteenth and build the underpass later. We needed answers for Hairini, Turret with Fifteenth and we needed to agree on the solution and to use the special Government money to construct the above working network. At that time in 2006, NZTA had in their ten-year plan the funds to build the Welcome Bay SH 29 underpass. Just imagine, Hairini, Turrett Road and Fifteenth Avenue all flowing well together with a working underpass. It Could have happened if politics hadn’t got in the way. My other proposal in 2006, was for a second exit out of Welcome Bay. It was needed then and it’s needed even more now. Squeezing all the traffic from Welcome Bay and beyond through a single exit is nuts.
Hopefully, the planning study I supported in 2018/19 as chair of the Community and Culture committee will deliver a workable model that we can implement. A second Welcome Bay exit, along with all the other services such as schools, recreational facilities and commercial land is needed Welcome Bay, as an important sector of a growing Tauranga, needs a comprehensive planning strategy now. The main reason Welcome Bay finds itself in a difficult position today is, fifty years ago there was not sufficient effort put into future planning. We need to look into the future as well as trying to solve the problems of today. We don’t want to make the mistakes of the past ever again.

Don’t just take my word that I will look after Tauranga. I have included an endorsement from Max Mason, a respected City Councillor who is not standing again. It is my pleasure to endorse Cr Terry Malloy as a candidate for the 2019 City Council Election. For the current triennium Terry has been the conscience of the community. He has a has a big heart and a formidable drive to help and support his community. Terry is deeply concerned about city centre retailers impacted by transformation, and has been ceaseless in his advocacy of their concerns. He also has a very long history serving his constituency with genuine commitment and a great deal of skill. Terry brings a lifetime of experience and service to the people of Tauranga, and there is plenty of drive and energy in him to finish the job. He is smart, very eloquent, and is an excellent debater in the Council Chamber. Unlike some Councillors he also serves the community in many other roles above and beyond his role as an elected member. I cannot praise Terry enough. Regards, Max Mason
I have had a busy three years on all the committees, plus a number of working parties. I chaired the Community and Culture committee and worked hard to resolve issues like begging and homelessness. I have spent many hours working to get support for the businesses in the CBD. Unfortunately, Council is not listening. That needs to change. I have advocated strongly for Welcome Bay, Greerton and Tauranga CBD. I am also a strong supporter of the arts community. I attend Main Street meetings when I can. I am a past president of Greerton Lions. Past chairman of the Bay of Plenty Automobile association. When I got back on council this triennium, I found the community, staff and councillors working in silos. That’s a problem and a reason for some of our failure’s. We need to improve those relationships. We also need to improve the relationships with Western Bay, the Regional Council and Government agencies, especially NZTA who are going through a difficult period at the moment. Tauranga City Council elected members need to take the lead in improving relationships. Get that done and we will start to see progress. Terry Molloy

Jim Sherlock – Tauranga is GREAT As a regular letter writer to the papers, I asked to stand for the forthcoming city election to promote my beliefs and bring common-sense decision making to solve Tauranga’s growth problems. Tauranga is Great! That is the problem, as people from everywhere are moving into Tauranga, New Zealand’s fastest growing city. As a retired businessman I offer problem solving decision making based on identifying the real problem. Far too often our city has invested time and money to solve a perceived problem, without identifying the real problem. As a mature person my decision making is based on facts, not ego. If elected I will hold quarterly forums in my ward. I have a vision for accommodating more people on the Te Papa peninsula. For those who must commute, to save being gridlocked, by having light controlled 3-laning of the main routes.

Our people’s health is our top priority.
healthcare for older people and B4 School checks.
The Bay of Plenty is fortunate to have an effective District Health Board already. However several Members of the Board have decided not to stand again. The Chair and the CEO are both retiring from their positions in November. That means half the new Board will be new to the DHB. In these uncertain times it is important to maintain the knowledge and experience I bring from nine years on the Board, six of them as Deputy Chair. I am asking for your support again this year.
The BOPDHB has a budget of more than $800 million but when we spend it, every dollar has to be effective. As an economist and business owner I understand how to get the best value out of the DHB’s assets and revenue, so we can provide more services. Let’s face it - the health dollar is always going to be stretched so we can’t afford to waste what we have.
There is always more to do to meet the demands of our growing population within the limits of the funding we get from the Government. The DHB is enormously complex and extends beyond our hospitals and the 3500 staff we employ. It includes community health services, such as the work of your GP or pharmacist, provision of

for Ron Scott
Board members don’t provide health services –that’s why we have our wonderful health professionals. But the board plans, develops strategy and manages assets so that those at the frontline can get on and do their job effectively. We need to recruit and keep the best people - without them we would be lost. While I’m not a health professional, I have experience working across the sector, and am particularly passionate about the disability and long-term illnesses area
VOTERONSCOTT.CO.NZ having served as Chair of the SILC Charitable Trust and worked to rehabilitate ACC clients over many years. I want a board that always strives for better, faster services which are closer to where people live. The District stretches from East Cape to Waihi Beach and we need to save people having to come to the hospitals for all their health care. The DHB should focus on the very old, the very young and maintaining a qualified workforce. I am proud to have already served nine years on the Bay of Plenty District Health Board, the past six as deputy chair. I have an in-depth understanding of the organisation and the people it serves and proven governance skills in large organisations. Please vote “1” for Ron Scott... Because Experience Matters Authorised by Ron Scott 6 Courtney Road, Tauranga
We’re going in the right direction. Help me maintain the Bay of Plenty District Health Board’s steady progress so our region can have healthy, thriving communities with access to quality services.

The right to Vote Kei te mihi ana ahau ki a koutou te hunga e noho mai ra i roto i tēnei rohe whānui. Ko te tūmanako anō, kei te noho ora koutou i raro i ngā manaakitanga a Te Runga Rawa.
problem is someone else’s doing and therefore ‘they’ need to fix it.
No more excuses
One of the abiding principles by which a democratic society operates is the right to vote. One eligible person, one vote – an inherent right that should never be taken lightly. When communities vote for people to represent them in some capacity, whether prime minister or local mayor, they expect that the people they vote for do a damned good job… or else! Sometimes they don’t do a good job, and so voters have the option to get rid of them. But more often than not, people seem to believe that ‘others’ will take care of that. This kind of laziness means that bad representatives are just as likely as the good ones to ‘stay in power’ well beyond their use-by dates.
ga ran u a lor T ncil u o C
Written by Jake Spear Non-voters, when questioned on their failure to vote, are pretty sure about their answers. They’re quite standard across the board:
Our Māori opinion counts Māori are poorly represented when it comes to voting in both general and local elections. At the last Tauranga local body elections, a poor overall voter turnout saw just over thirty-five percent of eligible voters cast a vote, and Maori made up only a tiny fraction of this figure.
(a) Oh, I didn’t know the candidates. (b) Oh, I didn’t know their policies. (c) Oh, I didn’t like any of them. (d) Oh, I don’t like/know anything about politics. (e) Oh, I was too lazy/had a hangover/ was bored/too spaced… (f) Oh, I just couldn’t be bothered. Badly run local government, like badly run central government, can make life tough for those of us who are struggling to make ends meet, or who feel that our rights are being suppressed, or denied. But excuses not to vote, like those listed above, only make matters worse. They tend to give us a false sense of right, as if the

If we as Māori are to determine our future in this growing city and its surrounds, we need to become more active both as voters and as participants in development policies. At the coming elections, think about the future you want your children and grandchildren to enjoy. Find out what candidates might suit your aspirations and vote for the one that fits best. The key word here is “vote” – for the future of your whānau.
