Last
week KOA (Keep Our Assets Canterbury) announced well-known political activist
John Minto as their mayoral candidate for the upcoming local body
elections.
KOA
is not standing a candidate to “wave the flag” on asset sales. We are standing a
candidate to win the mayoralty and to win with a progressive, people centred,
programme.
Key
policies include –
- Stop asset sales
- Free and frequent public transport
- The living wage as the minimum for all council work
- Building 1000 additional council homes for rent and rent to buy in 3 years
- End the corporate stranglehold on the CBD rebuild
- All Canterbury rivers to be swimmable
The success of this
campaign will depend on how many activists and supporters are able to give time
and energy to support the campaign leading up the election on 8 October.
We
are inviting all KOA supporters and those in the wider progressive movement to
come to this campaign planning meeting to hear from KOA and John Minto and join
the campaign.
Note:
Campaign material (T-shirts, badges, signage etc) will also be for sale at the
meeting.
Minto For Mayor
