My experiences in politics. 1- Local government election. In 2001, Alliance party of New Zealand has nominated me with two others candidates Mrs Rosie Brown and Mrs Susie William as candidates of Auckland Regional Councils of the Manukau Ward under one ticket of Alliance ticket. We stood to support for Public transport To protect the sale of public assets To protect the environment To keep Auckland Region free from GE. |

| 2- National Election for members of Parliament in New Zealand
In 2002, I was selected a candidate for the General election to represent Progressive party in Pakuranga electorate. I was one of the founding members of this party after the breaking up of Alliance. I was ranked No 8 during that election. To see policies of this party, please visit the Party website: www.progressiveparty.org.nz During the election campaign, I was been invited by St Columbus Church for a political debate with candidates of other parties, National, Labour, Green, Alliance, New Zealand first and United Future. I have campaigned by door knockings By inviting people to my house. By dropping leaflets in letter boxes. By talking in the free market |
