Joe Carolan, Mt Albert
- Internet MANA list position: (19)
Joe grew up in the North of Ireland, and was politicised by poverty and the brutality of colonisation. He is an organiser of low paid workers with the Unite Union and a member of Socialist Aotearoa.
Joe is a member of MANA because it fights for tino rangatiratanga and for the working class.
“We need jobs with living wages, we need rent control and decent State housing for all. We won’t get this without a fight, and we won’t win the fight without a bigger organisation.
The election of John Minto and Annette Sykes to represent MANA alongside Hone Harawira will be a truly revolutionary moment in the history of Aotearoa, and it’s for that reason we are fighting to increase the party vote in Mt Albert.”
The MANA Movement is our Army of the Poor.
