West Auckland deserves a licensing trust that puts community first. As a current trustee, lawyer and community advocate I’m standing with the Trusts Action Group to give you the opportunity to finally have a say on the monopoly that’s limited choice and held back small businesses and ultimately fails to provide decent returns to the community. The Trusts could be far more efficient and profitable if West Auckland was opened up to fair competition and local choice. We deserve vibrant, thriving venues that reflect the changing needs of our neighbourhoods, while also ensuring alcohol is sold responsibly and more given back to the community. I’m committed to greater transparency, better decision-making, and a Trust that delivers real value. Let’s give West Auckland the right to choose something better.
