This guy wants to get rid of mangroves. There is research on why that is a very bad idea. And supports a waste to energy plant that is also a very bad idea. If you live in Kaipara maybe he needs some better competition at the next elections.

Don’t cast us adrift! Ensure Cook Strait ferries can carry trains.
The ageing Interislander ferries must be replaced. We believe it’s crucial that new ferries are rail-enabled and publicly owned, letting rail freight and equipment move easily between the North and So...

The stupidest thing this current coalition did was to give tax cuts to landlords as their very first action.
It means all other subsequent cuts or underfunding are compared to this.
Nothing has been worth that handout to to the rich, ESPECIALLY not this.

It's so wild, I am always 21 years old when I am on a bike, not sure how that works but I love it
Don’t let age define your transportation. Getting older is inevitable, but living a dull, status-quo life isn’t. Returning to the bicycle for urban transportation as an adult was my choice, and one of the best decisions I’ve made. It’s given me experiences I’d have missed otherwise.
