Leighton BAKER
CANDIDATE FOR Christchurch East By-Election
I am a 47 year old builder who has been self-employed for 23 years, and I have worked with EQC, EQR, and insurance companies. I have seen a lot of the system failures and would relish the opportunity to make the system fairer, quicker, and more customer focussed, because I enjoy helping people achieve their goals.
Why on earth would you vote for anyone else when a vote for Leighton would tick so many boxes for you?
Local
Great family values
A true kiwi bloke
A collaborative approach and a genuine desire to listen to this community
PLEASE FOR FOR LEIGHTON BAKER
Standing up for you and your family in Christchurch East.

LEIGHTON’S APPROACH
My approach is to work alongside existing local community and business groups, to hear your ideas and grasp your vision for the future of our community.
I recently took a building team to Cambodia to work with a displaced people group. It became very evident that too often outsiders enter a community and tell the community what they need, rather than listen to find out what they really need.
Those that live, work, and play in the East, are the best ones to decide their community’s future, and my role would be to support and implement their designs.
The East has an abundance of reasons to live there;
Our beautiful beach
Our serene forest
Great proximity to town
Let’s enhance and revitalise this magnificent suburb together.
I WAS HERE
After the September Earthquakes, my team and I were in the East, carrying out repairs, digging long drops, and securing people’s houses.
My wife co-ordinated a laundry team with ladies from Canterbury, washing and drying clothes to be delivered back to those without power and water.
My son and daughter were involved with the Rangiora Express, cooking and delivering meals to the East.
WE BELIEVE
We believe that the wisdom of 3 million Kiwi voters is greater than 121 politicians in Wellington. We support binding referenda, where the Government must follow citizens’ directives when 67% of votes cast, support the proposal.
Let’s keep our assets.
Let’s develop our potential.
Let’s lead, not follow.
Less Government interference.
More personal responsibility.
One law, one people, one nation.
STANDING UP FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

MEET MATTHEW DOOCEY National
I’m a Cantabrian born and bred. My wife Viktoria and I returned home from the UK earlier this year. We’re expecting our first child in the New Year. I’m looking forward to bringing up our kids here and I’m determined to make a contribution as Canterbury rebuilds from the devastating earthquakes.
My family are all proud Cantabrians who have served our city well. My dad Tom Doocey recently retired as Chairman of Sport Canterbury. My grandfather Maurice Carter was a councillor for 33 years and established the Maurice Carter building company, which built thousands of homes in Christchurch. He also set up the Carter Charitable Trust, which continues to fund Christchurch causes.
I’m a healthcare manager at the Canterbury District Health Board. I’ve built my career in helping families and individuals take control of their lives. As the MP for Christchurch East I’d like to draw on these strengths and be your voice inside government. Now more than ever we need stable and reliable leadership focused on the things that matter to Christchurch families. National’s plan for jobs, growth and a stronger economy is working. it’s helping pay for things like education, healthcare and the rebuild.
“IF YOU’RE GENEROUS ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR ME ON 30 NOVEMBER, I PROMISE TO BE A FIERCE ADVOCATE FOR THE EAST AS WE BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE TOGETHER”.

About Greater Dunedin
Greater Dunedin was formed in 2007. Its purpose is to find outstanding people and get them elected to the City Council.
The Society searches for candidates with integrity, intelligence, analytical and communication skills, knowledge of and concern about major issues (both local and global) and a commitment to putting in the effort required to contribute to responsible decision-making. There must be diversity in the group, because the job of Council is to govern the whole city, not just reflect the values of one segment of it.
In 2007 three Greater Dunedin candidates, Dave Cull, Chris Staynes and Kate Wilson, were elected to the Council. In 2010 Dave Cull was elected Mayor, Kate Wilson and Chris Staynes were re-elected and Crs Jinty MacTavish and Richard Thomson were also elected. Chris Staynes became Deputy Mayor.
In 2013 these five are all standing again, along with four new Greater Dunedin candidates.
Greater Dunedin is a non-profit incorporated society. It is not a political party. Its elected councillors support and respect each other’s views but they make their own independent judgements about Council matters. Members of the Society who are not elected Councillors play no part in the policy-making or decision-making on Council matters.

Kate Wilson for Mosgiel-Taieri
Kate Wilson is widely appreciated in the Mosgiel-Taieri Ward as an outstandingly effective and hardworking Dunedin City Councillor.
The experience she has gained through six intense years on Council, along with her knowledge of every corner of the Ward and her willingness to sit down and listen to residents from all parts of the city guarantees that she will be an invaluable member of the next Council.
Undeterred by the long hours and the travel needed to carry out her Council duties, Kate says the main impetus for running for a third term is the clear vision for the future shape and character of our city that has been developed through consultation with the community over the last Council term.
With university degrees in both law and geography, she has a particular strength in planning and resource matters and looks forward to continuing to apply her skills and experience as the District Plan is implemented.
First elected in 2007, Kate says she has seen great improvements in the way Council operates and serves its citizens since 2010, when Dave Cull became Mayor and Greater Dunedin won five seats at the Council table. She’s proud of the way Council has become more open and inclusive and is actively listening to all sectors of the community, and she enjoys the strong input of the new faces in many of the leading roles in the council offices.
Kate lives on the family farm in Middlemarch, and when she’s not engaged in Council or other community work, she can be found nearby running her famous cafe. She chairs the Otago Central Rail Trail Charitable Trust and represents the Council as Deputy Chair of the Otago Museum Trust Board.

VOTE Dave Cull For Mayor
Dave Cull was elected Mayor in 2010, with a mandate to change the way our city was being run. With the support of his Greater Dunedin colleagues he has insisted on openness in Council business and effective two-way communication between Council and community.
Under his leadership Council has addressed escalating debt, unsustainable rate rises and serious Council company governance issues. It has demanded much greater efficiency and accountability in its operations and saved many millions of ratepayer dollars.
Mayor Cull’s firm but inclusive chairmanship has ensured Council is less divisive, more collegial and constructive. Three years of hard work is producing a clear vision of the city that we residents want for our future generations.
In a tough economic and political climate Dave Cull has stepped up. He has shown that he will not back down from a challenge and that he is ready to tackle any problem, local, national or global.
