Because you see, we have so little to go by when choosing our representatives, and there is so much at stake - the future of our city and how it will be for our children, nothing less.
When choosing our reps we rely on anything from a short info blurb online, replete with the buzzwords we want to hear, to names and faces on (non-eco) billboards which ensure "top of the mind" automatic behaviour when it comes to ticking the boxes.
Candidates have varying levels of budgeting in their campaign, and it is usually those with minimal budgets, no sponsors (interest parties) and a more eco-friendly approach of no flyers or billboards who get missed - and those are exactly the candidates we of the "no junk mail" persuasion may well resonate with!
So please, lets be a bit forgiving during this short campaign, and take our due diligence further and deeper when studying our options. Look for substance, can-do, and ability.
Oh, and please apply the same care when choosing our DHB representatives. They control more money and probably affect our lives and well being even more than mayor and councillors.
Hi I after 3 hardwood sleepers if anyone has any for sale. Can you please pm me with a length and price. Thanks in advance

He seemed to believe all the candidates were pretty much the same and that voting wouldn’t change anything. This intelligent, kindly man has been around for about 70 years and it was a bit sad to think he felt so helpless.
We are living in an age of significant change and it is essential we vote according to our interests and beliefs. It is important for good people to vote. It can also be useful to discuss our views so we can test our ideas and maybe help others to see things from a different perspective.
I will vote after considering all the candidates. I will choose those whose ideals are closest to mine and with whom I best resonate…. not because of their qualifications, their time served with the Council (or DHB), because they’ve attended so many meetings … or because others like them. I will pay attention to my innermost feelings and make my selection according to how peaceful I feel with my choice.
We are unlikely to have perfect governing bodies after this election, but we can improve. We should strive for the best, and full participation must help in this regard.
