Ko Māwhera te kāinga. Ko Kevin tōku ingoa. Ex-Retired, Pākehā, gay, vegetarian, conservationist, public health advocate. Chief of Staff for the Green Party co-leaders’ office in Parliament, but this is my personal account.

Kia ora e hoa mā. I'm pleased to announce that I'm coming out of retirement to take up the role of Chief of Staff role for the Green Party in Parliament (think Malcolm Tucker, Leo McGarry). I'm not moving away from Te Tai o Poutini, but just now going the process of setting up a 2nd home in Wgtn.

Are you, or do you know someone who be, interested in learning more or talking about Te Tiriti o Waitangi? Oh, and it's in Māwhera. Four evenings in May. I would love to see you there!
Couple of koroua grabbing some shade. Performances are awesome. Crowd is wonderful. Having a great day! Ngāti Whakaue FTW
That time of year again! Our street is 500m away from the CtC registration
Great to get the chance to speak at the Māwhera Treaty celebration today. Here’s the queue for the hāngi food
