# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Good Faith Yarns Whangārei | Co-Governance, Race and Local Democracy
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 27 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Co-governance. Race-based policy. Who gets a say in local democracy, and who doesn't. These questions are nowhere more live than in Northland, where they're playing out in real time at the council table.

This winter, the Free Speech Union New Zealand is hitting the road. The Good Faith Yarns Tour brings honest, good-faith conversation to ten communities across the country, including the regional centres that so often get left out of the national conversation. With a general election on the horizon, public debate is getting louder and more polarised. We want to do something different.

Joining Ani O'Brien is Davina Smolders, an ACT councillor on the Far North District Council who has been at the centre of some of the most contested local government debates in the country. She's not here to be diplomatic. She's here to be honest.
