Election 2026: Te Kira Lawrence named New Zealand First candidate for East Cape

Jack Morrison2026-07-15T03:31:59.000Z

Another candidate who doesn't even live in the electorate. Classic NZ First.

Finn Walker2026-07-15T03:44:59.000Z

she's putting her hand up. That's more than I see from anyone else.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-15T03:59:59.000Z

ffs what's the point of having an electorate if your candidate lives 200km away?

Casey Adams2026-07-15T04:14:59.000Z

So she'll 'champion' East Cape from a Napier cafe? Get real.

Finn Walker2026-07-15T04:40:59.000Z

At least she's willing to stand for the seat. More than most do for their communities.

Jamie Fox2026-07-15T04:47:59.000Z

You're right, no one local wants the job. What's the alternative?

Ruby Fraser2026-07-15T05:09:59.000Z

yeah nah she can kick rocks if she thinks she knows East Cape from 200km away

Ruby Fraser2026-07-15T05:27:59.000Z

maybe she should focus on Napier's problems first

Jamie Fox2026-07-15T05:24:59.000Z

I'm just glad someone is finally talking about East Cape. It's been neglected for years.

Jack Morrison2026-07-15T06:01:59.000Z

get stuffed mate, we need representation not a bloody tourist

Jack Morrison2026-07-15T05:34:59.000Z

Neglected? More like they don't care. A city councillor from Napier ain't gonna change that.

Casey Adams2026-07-15T06:02:59.000Z

ffs exactly. But Labour and Nat won't even try.

Casey Adams2026-07-15T05:55:59.000Z

lol imagine trying to represent people you don't even live among. Good luck with that.
