I see in The Leader this week, that five of the Councillors standing for re-election are the same five that failed to keep their oath to serve and represent the people of Upper Hutt regardless of their personal feelings towards the citizen or the nature of the issue, promising to facilitate a citizen or group to navigate and understand Council processes and represent them and their issues to Council.
COUNCILLORS - Chris Carson – Blair Griffith – Paul Lambert – Glenn MacArthur – Dave Wheeler – have all blatantly failed in their sworn duty.
They are, in my direct experience, never to be trusted, a vote for them is to vote for people who abuse and misuse the trust and power invested in them. They only serve themselves and the Incumbent Mayor.
It is time for new faces, younger faces, diverse people, who have serving Upper Hutt at heart, people with progressive 21st century awareness.
Tracy Ultra, is a person who is proactive in the community and stands up and fights for the rights of Upper Hutt. She is both visible and accessible, she has my vote, as does Helen Swales and Angela McLeod.
I will research the other candidates and make my choices accordingly.
What is assured is that I will not vote for the five oath-breakers.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.
Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.
A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.
This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.
Offers from $2,500,000 plus GST (if any)

INTERNET I don't have wifi at home – I use public wifi, Libraries etc. and friends, usually on a Thursday for a couple of hours, also on an occasional a Sunday.
Once I post I don't see or know what happens and I am unable to respond for a week or more. Under these conditions conversations don't work well, however I am usually open to clarifying questions.
Getting to any meetings is difficult for some people without transport or issues with their mobility, some I know do not go out after dark . We have an ageing population- these barriers to access localised information and accessibility to democracy are growing and are of global concern.
Not everybody has the same resources – financially, physically or economically and without community based journalism, information about what is happening in our city we often unaware of what is happening until it happens.
NONE of my comments have been gender based, so anybody who thinks so is reflecting their own mind sets – not mine - COUNCILLOR STEVE TAYLOR was the first councillor to reply to my emails, he offered to meet me. For reasons that were mine, that did not happen. He responded in a timely and business like manner.
THE ONLY other people to reply were WOMEN all the MEN excepting S.Taylor ignored me to a man.
RE-ELECTION All those standing for re-election, have now got a track record – an election is 'judgement day' a performance review, to see how the voters feel about them and their governance over the past three years.
THIS IS exactly the right time for me to tell of my experiences, it is the most appropriate time, there is no better time.
To share publicly personal, actual, truthful, experiences of your interactions with government or council and elected representatives is your legal democratic right.
EXPECTING – demanding, information, transparency, accountability and accessibility from our public representatives and public servants, is our legal democratic right and is exactly what we all should be doing, everyone of us, whatever our concerns or opinions.
It is a responsibility of all society to do so, it is critical we hold those in power, especially those we are taxed and elect to govern us, represent us, serve us, to account. Important that we take part, that we be heard, that we vote.
To be denied that legal right, to have that legal right withheld or interfered with, to be ignored and rendered invisible - is disenfranchisement.
LOBBYING elected representatives to interact with us and to take our views and concerns seriously is your legal right and is democracy in action, democracy made visible.
EVERYTHING I have posted publicly, I also conveyed directly, in multiple emails sent to all those named, telling them of my intention to go public, with ample time for them to reply, respond or refute, before I shared my experiences publicly, which I subsequently did on more than one occasion on more than one platform in 2017. I say the same thing now as I did then.
