Wellington Central Election Debate:

On Wednesday 20th September, we bought together 80+ people at the Sustainability Trust to hear from the Wellington Central Candidates for the 2023 General Election.

A lot of the social and environmental challenges that we host evens on can be massively impacted by those who represent us in government - so we wanted to hear from the hopeful representatives on a selection of the issues we’ve hosted events on in 2023!

Big thanks to Scott Sheeran, Taylor Arneil, Ibrahim Omer, Tamatha Paul, and Natalia Albert for their kōrero and energy!

Unfortunately this event wasn’t recorded, but at a high level - most candidates seemed to agree with the problems we face; the key differences were found in the solutions they proposed.

What you can do

Vote

First things first - if you need to update your enrolment, you can do so here.

Once that’s all sorted, you’re good to go!

Think about the policies you want to see enacted by our Government next term, the people you think can bring those policies to life, and the parties that support those people.

Engage with the candidates

Given our system as it currently stands, there’s no better time to engage with a politician than when they’re campaigning.

It’s when they can make themselves the most available, and have enough other people reaching out that they can see the patterns connecting what the voter base wants to see.

We’ve collated the contact details for the Wellington Central candidates who attended on Wednesday below - get amongst!
