Speech to Insurance & Savings Ombudsman

12/9/2013

 
Thank you for inviting me to speak. I am giving my valedictory next week and squeezing 23 years into 15 minutes is challenging.

I remember one commentator saying it would have been better that there was no regulation of the finance sector so that people would know it was all up to them. Inadequate regulation he said was better than none.

Speech to Avon Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust AGM

5/9/2013

Christchurch Mayoralty Campaign Launch

2/9/2013

 
Today I am launching a campaign to take back our city and reclaim our democratic voice. I have an ambitious goal.  I want Christchurch to be the clean, green, safe, smart city that we envisioned during the Share an Idea public engagement campaign.
 
Two years ago, the Christchurch City Council was the "unanimous overall winner" of the Co-creation Award for that campaign. These awards recognise and celebrate the most original and successful co-creation initiatives.
