PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES – What you think you have that will add value to the CAC role
As a Justice of the Peace and an experienced director of the crown, I take integrity
very seriously. As chair of the personnel committee, I managed disciplinary hearings
at Manurewa High School for over ten years. In my capacity as deputy chairman of
the Auckland Conservation Board, I managed concession applications on behalf of
DOC. I know the importance of process and the independence of those responsible
for every decision. I am a native Samoan speaker raised in South Auckland and
would have empathy for underserved constituencies. I was appointed by the Mayor of
Auckland as a Commissioner for the LGBT community. I have also helped organise
iconic Auckland events Diwali and the Chinese Lantern Festival. I work closely with
local Sikh and Muslim communities as well as refugees. The profile of the kiwi
homeowner and tenant is changing and CAC must reflect these changes in order to
foster a high degree of trust and confidence with the general public and other key
stakeholders. I honour my commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi in my fluency of Te
Reo Māori, my recent graduation from the TE KAA Māori cultural competency course
by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, serving on the stakeholders committee at Te Wānaga o
Aotearoa for the Masters of Applied Indigenous Knowledge, and my past experience
with Kāhui Tū Kaha and the Manukau Urban Māori Authority.
