MP for Palmerston North; committed to providing a strong, local voice for Palmy in Parliament. Authorised by Tangi Utikere MP, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
Out and about across the Palmy sites with Cr Renee Dingwall we spotted @TangiU , Mayor Grant Smith and other councilors. Great to see the Māori wardens out and about. Got to talk with Te Wakahuia, Papaioea Pasifika Community Trust and the Sallies. #DontBeBotsGetYourShots
Kia orāna, its Cook Islands Language Week. Yesterday I was joined in the procession to the chamber by a group from the Cook Islands community and by @TangiU. It was an honour to have them welcome us for the sitting day & Tangi gave a prayer to open the day in Cook Islands Māori.
A celebration of our Massey Pasifika students. Future leaders and innovators in Aotearoa and other parts of the Pacific. With almost half of all Pasifika in NZ under 20 yrs of age, education is the key to the future success for all of us. Go Tali and Maatusi
An early start to hear 2018 NZer of the Year Kristine Bartlett at the Zonta Club of Manawatu International Womens Day Breakfast. Great start to a birthday for Cr Rachel Bowen too!
