Sykes Kicks Off Waiariki Bus
Tour
Mana candidate
for Waiariki Annette Sykes kicks off her Waiariki Bus Tour
of her electorate this Saturday 21 June in Tauranga with her
campaign team and volunteers.
“I’m looking forward to
getting out and about in my electorate this coming week
visiting significant waahi tapu and of our whānau and hapu
that are being hurt by multi-national companies through
local council development plans without proper
consultation” Sykes says.
“I have always fought for
the people to keep their land, language and own leadership
models and I am going to take the war on the poor from the
court rooms of this country to the lands and streets and get
rid of the national government in Waiariki” Sykes
vows.
The Mana bus will visit communities and marae in
Tauranga, Whakatane, Taupo, Turangi, Kawerau, Rotorua and
Turangi over five days in a coordinated effort to assist the
whanau and hapu in the most affected areas hurt by
privatisation agendas and organise with them a series of
visits by the Internet party leadership in the coming
weeks.
