summary_computer_generatedThe event held at St. Peter's Church in Wellington on September 27, 2022, was a significant gathering where mayoral candidates discussed their perspectives on issues pertinent to the LGBTQ+ community. Organized by Rainbow Wellington, this event featured incumbent Mayor Andy Foster and candidates Tory Whanau, Paul Eagle, Ellen Blake, and Ray Chung. The discussion was centered around various critical topics. A key theme was the importance of inclusivity in city governance, with candidates unanimously agreeing on the need for representation and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community in policy-making. There was a general consensus about the continuity and significance of the Wellington City Rainbow Advisory Panel. Suggestions were made to ensure diverse representation through a democratic nomination process, underscoring the commitment to inclusive governance. Public safety, particularly for vulnerable groups within the LGBTQ+ community, was another focal point of the dialogue. The candidates spoke about enhancing safety and creating inclusive public spaces, emphasizing the implementation of policies that address violence and discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals. The role of the city council in supporting rainbow organizations was also a topic of discussion. Candidates explored the potential for dedicated budget allocations and stressed the need for long-term funding to provide stability and support to these groups. Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, candidates expressed their views on public health measures and their awareness of the pandemic's impact on public health and safety, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. Overall, the event provided a comprehensive platform for the mayoral candidates to outline their visions for a more inclusive and supportive Wellington for the LGBTQ+ community. The discussion reflected both on the current initiatives and future aspirations to foster an environment of inclusivity, safety, and support.
