A really awesome launch last night, packed out the door in Sandringham! Mount Albert is fortunate to have Helen White, a long time local who knows every corner of the community and is deeply committed to fairness. Thanks for coming Helen Clark.

That’s one of our flyers from the 2020 election. Thanks for promoting some of the great work our Labour Government has done for the people Ōhāriu, though. Here’s our 2023 flyer…

I was able to show the Prime Minister contrasting parts of the Ōhāriu electorate today. This included Quay Marine in Ngauranga, who keep ferries and other ships serviced and Challenge 2000, who do great work within the social field. The sun shone all day!

Today I was appointed to the Victoria University of Wellington Council. While my term on Council doesn’t begin until January next year, I look forward to doing everything I can in this role to make a difference for students and the wider community here at VUW.

Yes, Helen White is engaging with her community on a range of important issues. Maybe you should host a meeting in your own electorate instead of tweeting so much?

I’m devastated to hear about the loss of Efeso Collins. He was a warm and passionate leader who cared deeply about his community. My thoughts are with his whānau and friends.

Brilliant inaugural lecture by Professor ᴅʀ ᴅᴇᴀɴ ᴋɴɪɢʜᴛ, where he spoke about his origins in Manawatū, judicial review and a fourth ‘integrity’ branch of government!

Quite funny that a good 80% of the takes I've read slamming WCC's reversal of the airport sale decision are based on very confident yet entirely incorrect assumptions about what was actually proposed. Here's some info in case anyone is genuinely interested:

Thanks to the amazing team who joined myself and Tom James (GWRC candidate) in Johnsonville to doorknock this morning. There's huge enthusiasm for Andrew Little out in the community, that's for sure.

‼️✊Let’s finish the job! We need to lock in a Living Wage for tutors, win it for cleaners, and prioritise affordable housing (cough cough replacing the Gordon Wilson flats). I’m running for VUW Council, voting is open 11-15 August!

Bob One is me (!) Since I’ve been on Council, tutors’ wages have been lifted above the Living Wage. This came after 9 years of workers and students campaigning. The chamber was filled with 150+ in protest twice last year to support the motions I put forward. While this 1/3
