To make this point, during a debate in Cannons Creek, some clever bastard decided to ask every candidate, "How much time have you actually spent investing in our community?" I fluffed through an answer that would have the current Kris Faafoi with his face in his hands. Then the microphone was passed to the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis candidate, Julian Crawford, who gave one of the best answers I have seen at a local debate: "Well, actually," he said, "with certainty I've invested 120 hours of my life in this community."
