2020 ACT Candidate for the Waikato Electorate
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...

Poll: What do you reckon, should first home buyers get in now?
First home buyers have until Christmas to get the best deals in the market, real estate agents warn.
As official cash rates both in NZ and the US start to fall, agents in Waikato are urging first home buyers to take advantage of a window of opportunity before lower lending rates draw investors back in numbers.
What do you reckon, should first home buyers get in now? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think an online casino is a good idea?
Three of the country’s gambling trusts have launched an online casino and sports betting website targeted at Kiwi punters - a move which has stunned anti-gambling advocates.
The New Zealand Community Trust, The Lion Foundation and Aotearoa Gaming Trust have formed an online casino joint venture they say will “protect and grow the essential community funding they provide nationwide in New Zealand”.
