[Gerry Brownlee] I’ve known Matthew Doocey for a very long time, I think he’s going to be an excellent Member of Parliament for Christchurch East. He’s worth voting for because all the personality traits he has are the things that typify the east. A strong resilience, a willingness to get in there and get things done, ah and a great desire to see that part of the city even better than it was before the difficulties that we’ve had over the last couple of years. And I know that ah Matthew will be one of those people who forges ah an identity for the east built around his commitment to the east.

[TITLE] Ali on opportunity
[MUSIC PLAYS]
You’ll hear a lot of promises from council candidates. Fiscal responsibility. Economic growth. And sustainable practices. It’s easy to make those broad promises, because we all want those things. It’s the realities of how we achieve them that are hard. Take Anadarko’s gas exploration. It could be a game changer and as a city, we have to decide how we feel about it, and how welcome we make those people feel. If I had a magic wand to make petrol chemicals risk-free, clean, and carbon neutral, I would. I’d love it if there was no demand for oil, gas or coal. But I don’t see anyone with a magic wand. What I do see are empty buildings, a city losing jobs, and good people facing hard times as businesses close. I also see local catering and grocery businesses that could provide Anadarko’s ship with the produce it needs. I see engineering and transport businesses that can give it maintenance support. But they’re not just businesses, they’re jobs that support families and communities. Right now, I don’t think we can turn away anything that offers Dunedin that, even for the few months the ship will be here. Because this effects our children, it’s a hard call to make, but for now I think it’s the best call for Dunedin. I know a lot of you will disagree strongly, especially if gas should be discovered. I understand and respect that. I’m grown up enough to know I may have to change position as new information, or another game-changer comes along. That’s how I intend to play my role in City Council. To be honest, to listen, and for us to decide together on the best future for Dunedin.

[John Key] Matthew is a fine New Zealander who returned ah looking to win the seat of Christchurch East ah for National. He has obviously my full support. Ah this is a city that’s undergone a huge natural disaster. Ah it’s a city that’s gone through a lot of pain and a lot of suffering ah but the Government has, as one of it’s four key priorities, standing behind the people of Christchurch. That has included a 15 billion dollar contribution towards the 4o billion dollar rebuild and many other programmes that we’ve won-  that we’ve run. The people of Christchurch East have gone through a lot um as a result of the earthquake, they deserve in the good representation in Parliament and we hope that you, when it comes ah polling day, will give your support to Matthew Doocey and the National Party.

[Jo Goodhew] Hi Matt, we’ve had a good day out door-knocking I took um Grant along with me and the two of us knocked on doors in an area of Christchurch East that’s been badly damaged by the earthquakes. This is what we’re telling them about you. That you are a local lad, born and raised here, that you’ve got your heart in this city, and that you want to represent the people of Christchurch East.
[Matthew Doocey] Great.
[J] I was able to tell them that I think you’d be a strong addition to our caucus, that your voice would be a strong one for the people of Christchurch East, so I’m hoping that they were listening and in fact many of them seemed to want to engage in that conversation.

[SPOKEN] I suppose a bit about me ah I’m a Christchurch boy, I was born in the old Calvary Hospital on Bealey Ave and ah I went to Loreto College first down Condell Ave off Blighs Road there and that closed down I think, it was nothing to do with me! But then I moved on to ah St Patricks ah in Bryndwr and then for high school I went to St Bedes College and that was ah sort of my first experience of politics, I was elected on as the first student representative on the Board of Trustees. That was actually initiated by David Lange I think in 1988 it was the Tomorrow’s School agenda. Ah and so ah had a good time at St Bedes, I- I really enjoyed it and growing up in the Bryndwr area as well and ah I very enjoyed um growing up in Christchurch and got some great memories of um days in Christchurch East and that was one of the connections for me really, like a lot of people who were brought up in Christchurch sort of you know the family days in Brighton and Waimari beaches, the school sports at the QEII Stadium ah I remember sort of running and ah puffing a bit down Marine Parade for the old ah city to surf. Um so ah I studied ah Counselling Psychology ah after high school and started working with young people in mental health services. They call them talking therapy services now ah it’s a new name for counselling. Ah and like a lot of young people in New Zealand I- I decided to do my OE. Um probably not like a lot of people in New Zealand I ended up staying about ten years in London but it was a good opportunity for me ah I worked for ten years in the NHS um and ah in that time I did a Masters in Health Care Management ah and I was able to travel a bit as well ah the European Union opened up at that time so I was able to go to some of the Eastern block countries ah and also far afield like the Middle East and Africa and a lot of Europe as well and it was at that time I suppose I became a bit more politically aware and London seems to be the hub for that. I did a Masters in Global Politics and sort of made me very aware of how in a global world we’re not only interdependent on economies in each country but we’re also competitive with them as well.  It’s very important that we ensure we have jobs and growth and an improving e- economy. But I- I must say I think my greatest success in London was meeting my beautiful wife ah Victoria um and we were, were married in Hungary I got my family and friends to come over and ah the earthquakes I think were a bit of a calling for me. I wanted to come back and ah bring my experience in working in the mental health and health fields, ah a- a- and you know put something back in. I had a great upbringing in Christchurch ah my- my wife and I are expecting at the start of next year our first child and very much wanted to bring up a family in Christchurch and also for Vic ah it’s a great opportunity ’cause of course being from a landlocked country ah to be able to drive 15 minutes was a great, great luxury and opportunity that I think sometimes we all overlook ah in Christchurch. That’s why I think Christchurch East is a special place to all of us geographically, you know the coast line i- is a very special place. Um so I’ll be ah knocking on the doors tomorrow and I’ll be telling people that they should be voting for me ’cause I’m a, I’m a local boy and I- I’m new to politics I bring a fresh pair of eyes, a fresh perspective ah I think ah people in, in the east should vote for me ’cause i- people wanting a change, they’re very tired of the old representation they’ve had since, I think 1922 for Labour, ah and so they’re wanting a, a new start, a new voice and I- I think I can bring that ’cause I can offer them a constructive voice inside a John Key National Government. I’ll be telling them to vote for me because ah I bring my skills and experience of working in the health sector where we do put people first. Ah and working with individuals and families, I very much built a career around that, of helping people to take control in their lives and I think there’s, there’s a bit of work around that ah in Christchurch East and Christchurch in general. I think I’ll also be telling them they should be voting for me because more than ever we need reliable, strong and stable leadership, ah you know National’s plans of jobs, growth in the economy are working and they’re paying for our health care, our education and the rebuild as well, um so I think you know they should be voting for me to give um you know we need to make a strong Christchurch East, ah we need a strong Christchurch East and I think Christchurch needs a strong Christchurch East so I, I do encourage you to follow me over the next eight weeks, ah the highs and probably the lows as well, ah 1922 it’s been held by Labour and I think there’s another statistic that no incumbent government has won a by-election in ah, in ah an opposition held seat. On saying that, I think we’ve got a lot to say, I think we can be very proud of the leadership and the security and stability the the Government provided ah after the earthquakes and very much now holding it as one of their four main priorities. I think I heard with the Labour reshuffle ah the portfolio’s way down in the twenties where it’s held, and of course with us it’s held and number three so a very clear message about the continued commitment to the rebuild in Christchurch. So thank you very much for allowing me to talk today and ah I look forward to having a cup of tea ah later on, thank you.

[TITLE] Mike Lord
[SPOKEN] Hi. My name is Mike Lord and I’m standing for the Dunedin City Council in the Mosgiel-Taieri Ward. I’m passionate about Dunedin and all that our city has to offer. I want to make a positive difference in the community that has been good to me. I believe I have the skills to be a very effective advocate for a wide range of people. I believe Dunedin is heading in the right direction, and prudent financial planning needs to continue to be the base for all future decision making, and I’d really appreciate your support.

[TITLE] Meet Ali Copeman
[MUSIC PLAYS]
[SPOKEN] Before I go on about issues, or ask you for your vote, I think it’s important that you know who I am. I’m a Dunedinite, I’ve lived, studied and worked here for 36 years so I’ve seen many of our city’s best and worst times. I love sport, although I don’t play as much tennis as I’d really like to. I’ve had Type 1 diabetes since I was twelve, and I’m also slightly accident prone, so I really appreciate how great our medical services are and how vital they can be to the people who need them. After working in secondary school supports admin, I started my own conference management company 14 years ago. I know what it is to be an employee and to be self-employed. I believe we can do more when we share our work together, so I’ve been actively involved in the Otago Chamber of Commerce. In fact, I’m the only woman currently on the Board. My husband is a writer, photographer and musician. Through him, I get a pretty good view of how Dunedin’s creative sector gets along. He’s also a trained zoologist and fly fisherman who makes sure I’m aware of scientific and environmental issues. Perhaps most importantly to me I’m a mother. That means I care about our schools, road safety, food safety, internet safety, our public amenities, and basically anything els that’s going to make a difference to my daughter’s future. I want her to have the choice to live in Dunedin too. So now you know who I am, soon I’d like to tell you how I think about the issues that face us. But I’d also like to hear from you. Check out my Facebook page, introduce yourself, let me know what you care about in our great little city. It’s like I said, we can do more when we share and work together.

[TEXT] Parking
[SPOKEN] People tell me they’re sick and tired of being used as revenue streams for Parkwise. I’m looking forward to doing something about this if I’m successful in being elected to the Wellington City Council.
[TEXT] Rates
[SPOKEN] This year Queenstown had a zero rate increase. They did it because they brought their Council-Controlled Organisations back within the Council. I say no rate increases in Wellington until there’s been a forensic audit of the Council’s books so that we know where the money’s going and how we can make better efficiencies.
[TEXT] The Living Wage
[SPOKEN] I’m a cafe owner and I give my staff wages based on their productivity and service to me. I’m not scared of the living wage concept, I would encourage all employers to look at progressively moving towards the living wage as they can afford it. Those are some of my ideas, if you support those ideas feel free to vote for me, Mark Peck 1 for Lambton in the City Council elections this year.
