"Alongside being a quiz mistress, it's actually my dream job".
Luana Scowcroft is a candidate in the Motu Kairangi ward in the upcoming Wellington City Council elections. She talked to Sadie Coe about what motivated her to run for council, and told us about some of her achievements to date, including painting an anti-nuclear banner for the Rainbow Warrior as a young child, building an eco-resort at the age of 24 (this was not even her first business), and working for governmental and non-governmental organisations.
Luana also spoke about how her Cook Islands upbringing strengthens her value system, and her passion for building relationships and putting people and communities at the centre of conversations about our city's future.
