Hello

whilst we might not quite match Christchurch we do have Walter Wi-Peri running for councillor in Maungakiekie-Tamaki. According to the candidate information, Mr Wi-Peri has...

"been granted patent rights by the New Zealand Patents Office for a mathematical ready reckoner that calculates winning tickets"

As such Mr Wi-Peri believes himself to be in position to

"monopolize the game of housie for the benefit of charities, medical services and electioneering helpful purposes"

Mr Wi-Peri is founder and treasurer of the Total Colours including Europeans Party.
