Welcome!

March 12 2010

Hi and welcome to my website. I’m proud to be MP for Auckland Central and your voice in Parliament.

This new site gives me the chance to keep you updated on local news and what’s happening in Parliament. It also gives you the opportunity to keep in touch with me.

The last month has been an incredibly busy one with hearings for the Auckland Local Governance Select Committee. Spending hundreds of hours hearing views about the Government’s proposed changes to local governance has given me a far better understanding of what people think is the best way to make Auckland greater.

My electorate office in Freemans Bay is incredibly busy, and my staff and I are working hard to help you.

Since I have been elected, over 2000 people have approached my office with various issues. I have helped constituents on a diverse range of matters including temporary housing, benefit entitlements, victim support, small business opportunities, and local governance queries.

I have been involved with some great local events recently, including the Smokefree Schools Rockquest at Auckland Girls Grammar, and the Great Barrier Black Tie Ball. I’m also looking forward to the upcoming launch of the Grey Lynn Farmers Market on Sunday 6 September.

I look forward to seeing you around Auckland City.

Bird Cage Move Provides Public Square for Central Auckland

I am delighted by the New Zealand Transport Agency’s (NZTA) decision to invest in shifting the historical Bird Cage close to its original position. This will provide a key public space for the people of Central Auckland.

Six months ago I was approached by some key people in the community who wanted me to advocate for the shifting of the Bird Cage to provide a key public space, and better heritage and urban design outcomes.

This issue was first raised at the designation resource consent hearing in 2006 by Richard Reid. There has been wide community and local government support for this to happen and it is great that we can deliver this for the community. » Continue Reading

Visit to Grey Lynn Community Library – Thursday 5 November 2009

November 5 2009

I visited the Grey Lynn Community Library today to fill the big shoes as a ‘Special Guest reader’. It was an incredible amount of fun seeing the joy in the young childrens faces as I read stories of “Ka Pai the Kiwi” and danced the Caterpillar dance.

It also provided a great opportunity to meet and talk to some of the young mums in my electorate, as well as the Library staff.
