Rakesh has served at senior levels of NZ police to keep our communities safe and to build social cohesion. He knows these issues as well as anyone. I’d love to see you there to talk through these important issues. This will be an interactive meeting with time for Q&A. 2/2

…the ordinary people and freedom fighters who sacrificed so much for liberty, and to take pride in India’s achievements since that time. Well done Mahatma Gandhi Centre/Auckland Indian Association for organising such a great event and happy Independence Day! 2/2

Today marks 79 years since India achieved her independence after hundreds of years of colonial domination. A joyful and colourful event at Mahatma Gandhi Centre saw hundreds gather to remember the great leaders like Gandhi and Nehru who led the campaign…1/2

Some of our younger Mt Roskill Labour members tell me that you can’t promote a Reddit AMA without the honorary sign-holding photo so here we are… I’ll be on r/nzpolitics this coming Tuesday (11 August) from 7pm. Ask your questions live or comment them beforehand, see you then!

Supporting diversity means more than turning up to events for selfies. It means standing up clearly against racism and for inclusion, even when it’s uncomfortable. That is my record and commitment. It is increasingly clear that National and their candidates won’t.

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

If you want to be the MP for Mt Roskill then you need to speak up for our communities when they are under attack. I was surprised and disappointed that the current National MP has chosen to minimise Winston Peters’ disgraceful and racist comments about Lawrence Xu-Nan and to partially blame Lawrence

Manu Aute Kite Day in Puketāpapa is one of my favourite events every year. It’s always a great time meeting people from across the electorate and beyond. Good food, activities, music, and people. It’s everything you need on a beautiful sunny day like yesterday.

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Then on to the small businesses at the corner of White Swan Rd & Giletta to hear their views on local issues and to collect the most amazing slow cooker lamb pie from Levain for a lunch on the go down at beautiful Lynfield Cove.3/3

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

I love these kind of face to face meetings when we can really talk through the issues that people care about. 2/3

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

A great morning in the campaign trail in Lynfield. A super meeting with residents at Murray Halberg Village who were informed and engaged around a huge range of issues including climate change, housing, the Treaty, jobs for young people, and health. 1/3

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

I’ll be at Saint David’s in the Field on July 15 with Ingrid Leary MP from 10:30am to 12:00pm to discuss the Retirement Villages Bill and other senior’s issues. All are welcome so come along!

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

We have an amazing and dedicated volunteer team who are helping with this, who pushed on through the dark rainy late afternoon to talk with Lynfield residents yesterday. Thanks team! If you want to see change then I invite you to join our volunteer team - just drop me a line below.

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

My campaign to win back Mt Roskill is grounded in face-to-face conversations with as many voters as possible and a personal commitment to doorknock on every street in Mt Roskill.

June 21 is International Yoga Day and I joined hundreds of people at the Mahatma Gandhi Centre for a great introductory session to this ancient practice that is good for body, mind, and soul. A good bike ride in and out to get the heart pumping too, although got totally soaked on the way back!

…tripped over the kerb, and face planted on the footpath. No major damage done, but the candidate photo shoot next week may get a bit delayed. 2/2

If you come across a political candidate at your doorstep/shopping centre over the coming week who looks like he has just been in a bar room punch up then rest assured it’s just because he was crossing the road to the bus stop, got distracted by an unusual tortoise shell cat crossing the road…1/2

A note on the mural pictures - these are tiles made by Auckland primary school students 10 years ago including local schools Marshall Laing School, Hay Park School, and Waikowhai School (including a tile my oldest boy made!) 3/3

On the tour we were told that over 18,000 workers have contributed to the project and put in over 25 million hours to deliver the CRL. The result will be a more connected transport system that gets more people where they need to go, faster. 2/3

The City Rail Link is going to be one of the most transformative projects Auckland has seen in generations. It was great to tour the new Te Horitiu Station with Phil Goff and others yesterday. 1/3

On Saturday morning I also enjoyed meeting with many friends at Bhartiya Samaj to acknowledge International Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Our campaign is building momentum and I invite you to join our team! 3/3

It’s been a full on couple of days in our campaign to win back Mt Roskill and change the government. With our growing volunteer team I’ve been out on local streets enrolling people to vote in Three Kings, we’ve doorknocked in Avondale. 1/3

The Government Budget is a big document that can sometimes be hard to understand. Here are 4 numbers you should know to understand where we are as we enter the final stretch of this Governments term.

Much of this support has gone backwards in recent years and it is critical to ensure that every student is looked after and is able to reach their potential. Thanks to the team at Lynfield College for all of your work for local students and families 3/3

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

It was great to see the progress and to hear about the next steps. Staff also talked to me about some of their concerns about the pace of curriculum changes, and the need for better resourcing of school nurses and learning support. 2/3

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Mt Roskill’s public schools sit at the heart of our community and it is important for me to keep in touch with their concerns and issues. I dropped in to visit staff at Lynfield College last week and to review progress on the school’s long-running building works. 1/3

It is a story of hardship and resilience, but also celebration for everything the Fiji-Indian community has achieved in the years since then. Well done to the Fiji Girmit Foundation NZ for raising the profile of the Girmitiyas over many years of advocacy.

020

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Saturday evening saw a huge turnout to acknowledge the Fiji Girmit community. 147 years ago the ship Leonides arrived in Fiji carrying the first group of indentured Indian labourers to work the sugar fields under British rule.

Wishing all the Mums out there a lovely day. Thanks for everything you do for us all. We spent the morning over a nice brunch at the Garden Centre celebrating the 3 Mums in our family and hope that others have been able to connect too.

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

My campaign is focussed on listening to people at the grass roots right across Mt Roskill and I learned some important things from people today including the need for government to listen to our schools and teachers about important curriculum matters.2/2

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

It was a busy day on the campaign trail today meeting people across Mt Roskill. I had an especially rewarding few hours meeting Principal Neil Robinson and staff at Blockhouse Bay Primary, and then talking to small business owners and workers in the town centre.1/2

Great to see so many people gathering together on Friday to do just that. Happy (belated) May Day!5/5

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

This year also saw working people gather up and down New Zealand to stand up against this government's relentless attacks on the rights of working people. 3/5 Working people are the majority and when we come together we can change unfair practices, policies, and governments.4/5

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Last week we celebrated May Day. The achievements of working people and their unions: fair and decent pay, paid holidays and sick leave, safe work practices, pay parity and equity, ACC, and much more.2/5

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

One of my biggest drivers in politics is a central belief that working people are the ones who drive our country forward and deserve a fair go.1/5

Last weekend’s bike ride was a nice loop around Māngere Mountain. Highlights are the ride over the harbour, nice views along Kiwi Esplanade, and then skirting around Ambury Park. Lovely weather at the moment for some time outside to think about the week ahead.

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Good discussion about a range of issues including how hard it is for small business right now, the need for more support for our health system, local housing issues, and of course the affordability crisis most people are facing. Plus a friendly chat with the Mt Roskill 2020 Social Credit candidate!

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Steep driveways on Francis Curtin Ave make for a good workout while doorknocking! I’ve now doorknocked on every street across Blockhouse Bay and have enjoyed meeting residents who will be coming into the Mt Roskill electorate for this year’s election.

At the Mt Roskill War Memorial Park for ANZAC day. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

We’ll be in Waikōwhai on May 2nd for our next Day of Action, where we’ll be out and about in the community getting people enrolled to vote. If you’re keen to help out on the day, drop me a message below! See you there.

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

It’s a bit of a slog through busy industrial roads along the eastern side and it would be a good project for Council to create a shared path here for a full circuit. A good way to get the body and mind ready for the week ahead.

000

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

My weekend bike ride was about 30 kms, an interesting route I have done a few times, which goes around the inner Manukau Harbour. I enjoy the shared path on the southern side which takes you through mangrove forests on winding boardwalks before emerging in Favona.

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Note we have committed to bringing back Fair Pay Agreements, Pay Equity, & rolling back National’s anti-worker policies so that working people get a fair go.

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Hi Rob. No, there is a lot more policy to come as we get closer to the election. No party is releasing their full offer at this early point. Tackling economic inequality is one of my drivers.

110

Michael Wood @mtroskill.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

I speak with people every day who tell me about the very real and painful impacts of the affordability crisis. Families, businesses, and communities are struggling, and this Government simply isn’t stepping up to the plate. Labour is focused on delivering for hardworking people.
