It is an honour to be the MP for Waitakere and a Cabinet Minister in the National-led Government.

I am passionate about ensuring a brighter future for all New Zealanders. As the Minister for Social Development and Youth Affairs, I have been given an opportunity to effect positive change in people's lives, their family and their community. I intend to get it right.

As a proud Westie I believe that the beautiful and wild West Auckland is the best place to be. If you are local and need help with any issue contact my office which is located at 429 Great North Road in Henderson. Office hours are 9:00am to 4:30pm.
