I attended the re-opening of St Patricks Square on the 17th of this month. It was a great day for residents and people who work in the CBD. The square is a great space for Aucklanders in the CBD.
I went for a tour and was in awe of the history and heritage of St Patricks Cathedral.

I have mixed feelings about the muscle but am getting used to it. One of my Southland friends has even suggested I name it Ranfurly. …More…
Fellow MP Hekia Parata and I hosted a ‘Ladies Lunch’ on Monday as an opportunity to brief key Business and women involved in community organisations on hot political topics. Hekia gave an amazing speech that included her journey to becoming a Member of Parliament. Hekia is someone that I admire and I am sure has a huge future in politics. We covered a number of issues such as Auckland Local Governance and Education.
I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet so many smart women interested and enthusiastic about doing what they can to contribute to NZ.

NIKKI KAYE (National—Auckland Central) : I am delighted to speak in the first reading debate on the Borders (Customs, Excise, and Tariff) Processing Bill. I am particularly delighted that it will be going to the Government Administration Committee, and I look forward to deliberating with other members on that committee.

NIKKI KAYE (National—Auckland Central) : I do not believe that anyone in this House is disputing the devastating effects that methamphetamine is having on so many New Zealanders. Some estimate the cost of this drug to New Zealand as being in the billions.
The cost is in what we pay out to help the victims of meth crime. The cost is in our health system, and the rehabilitation and treatment for meth addicts. The cost is in the prisons and in the police officers that we need to fight this drug. But the more difficult cost to measure by far is the personal cost to so many New Zealand families.
