Meet the Candidates

Join candidates from the Tai Tokerau, Northland, and Whangārei electorates as they answer the same questions on issues that matter to our community.

Come along to the Cafler Suite at Forum North on Tuesday, 6th October, and discover how the candidates and their policies align with the needs and priorities of our electorates.

This is a fully accessible, non-partisan event, hosted by Tiaho Trust in collaboration with DPA.

Candidates from the Whangārei, Northland and Te Tai Tokerau electorates have been invited to answer the same questions about disability-related issues affecting our community.

Questions for the candidates

• What specific action would your party take to increase the supply of accessible and affordable housing in Northland?
• How would your party address the additional costs and service barriers faced by disabled people, particularly in rural and remote Northland- while holding government agencies accountable for delivering measurable improvements?

Each candidate will have up to three minutes to respond to each set question. Questions will also be taken from the audience at the end of the session, with candidates given up to one minute to respond.
