Standing for: Waitakere City Council (Henderson ward), for Team West.
Famous for: Stand-up comedian who made West Auckland a laughing matter with self-deprecating humour.
Why should we vote for you? I represent the working class, I'm friendly, recognisable and approachable. I have an international reputation for making large groups ofpeople from all walks of life happy. And I know how to deliver irony in a well-timed one liner.
What's the biggest issue facing your area? Paid parking in Henderson, foothills in Swanson, acceptance of ethnic diversity, the meth (P) problem.
What's your solution? Paid parking is just a trial. In the short term, removing your wiper blades will leave the parking warden nowhere to put the ticket. Foothills, sneak on to the foothills and plant natives, then someone will need resource consent before they can cut them down let alone develop. Ethnic diversity, food, music, dance and art festivals. Meth problem, I really don't know, we could all listen to Pita Sharples for a start.
Ever stood before? First time, the idea was first put forward in my 1999 comedy festival show "Situations Vacant" and you all laughed, not so funny now is it?
