Thanks to Deidre, CEO of Arataki Ministries, a disability support services charity started by #Whangarei Central Baptist Church in 1991, for answering an hour's worth of questions about mental health and disability support services...as I try to learn more about our community's specific needs.

Biked 74km on the twin coast cycle trail yesterday, #Kawakawa #Moerewa #Kaikohe return. Waterfalls and bush views, a public bike path that is a real asset to Northland. Nice day out. Recommended.

Pleasure to speak with Barbara Browne of Kāhui Tū Kaha, about providing housing to people in need. All kinds of people. Because ignoring homelessness never made any society better, stronger, or safer.

This medical data breach is hitting close to home: 45 Northland GP practices directly affected, 400k private medical documents dating back to 2017, 130k patients affected. Highlights the need to view healthcare IT systems and data personnel as important investments rather than just expenses/costs.

If you don't want another 3 years of this government... help us enrol voters. We are building our team, join us: https://f.mtr.cool/kjrztzhcuy

Thx, you got me thinking so I looked up the official electoral commission numbers $4.2 million / 246000 votes comes out to about $17 per vote. The math on ACT fundraising is mathing. There's crazy amounts of money per vote there
