provides greater transparency regarding the potential benefits and costs of
this project. We need to know accurately what benefits the CBD Rail Link will

CBD public meetings
Over the past few weeks I have held a number of public
meetings in the CBD whereby I have consulted on issues such as the CBD rail
loop and social and community infrastructure. It was great to get feedback from local constituents on both local and national issues. I support the CBD rail loop, I think it needs to happen. The next step is to work out when it can be delivered and how we […]

Recently I joined many Kiwis in watching the National Memorial Service in
Christchurch attended by 100,000 Cantabrians. It was a chance to remember the
people we've lost, to express our grief and sorrow, and to re-affirm our commitment
to the city of Christchurch.
The service was also a chance to thank all those who have helped in the
aftermath of the earthquake. The response from Cantabrians, New […]

I was privileged to
host our Prime Minister, the Rt Hon John Key in the Auckland Central electorate
last week. The Prime Minister opened Waiheke Island's 'Sculpture on the Gulf', and I was delighted to
keep my promise to get him there after he broke his arm and was unable to
attend two years ago. It was a great day and I really enjoyed the
opportunity to introduce the Prime Minister to some of my constituents […]

Happy New Year!
I hope you've enjoyed (or are enjoying) a well deserved break.

I hope to also deliver on some more of the local projects that I care about including improving the Auckland Council's waste policy. Next year I will be working closely with Ministers to undertake a […]
