Tackling poverty a priority for new Mana MP
Mother-of-eight and tax lawyer, Barbara Edmonds wants to address poverty in Porirua.
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.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
