Lowering the MMP threshold to 2.5% is just one of many excellent electoral system reforms my campaign has to offer. This policy makes MMP more proportional in NZ and results in more of a direct competition for votes. After all, votes are to be earned, not guaranteed. #nzpol

Universal Dental Care would be of great benefit to society if implemented. It would save many NZers lots of money a year and improve their long-term dental health outcomes. It is an affordable policy that can be paid through a big increase in healthcare spending that NZ desperately needs. #nzpol

Free Public Transport is the future of transport policy. Lowers emissions, lessens gridlock and is good for the environment in the long term. When combined with a lower GST rate, many people in society will save lots of money, thus helping the economy in the midst of a cost of living crisis. #nzpol

Banning Bottom Trawling is one of my campaign's core environment/wildlife related policies. It substantially reduces carbon emissions and overfishing simultaneously. Therefore making it a very effective policy that is both common sense and good for the marine environment at the same time. #nzpol

Legalizing Cannabis is a long overdue policy. It has the potential to raise hundreds of millions a year in government revenue and enable a medicinal cannabis industry to surge in growth, providing new job opportunities. It also frees up police resources to tackle bigger issues in society. #nzpol

Closing down Gloriavale is an obvious and long overdue policy. The community has long been home to abuse, exploitation and cruelty. Therefore, the closure of this community would be of great service to the values of actually making NZ an egalitarian country where all are treated fairly. #nzpol

First Policy Announcement of many is here. Lowering GST to 10%, a taxation change that would help many during a cost of living crisis. Whilst, moving the taxation system away from regressive taxes. #nzpol
