Republican Movement to kick-off Time for Change campaign
With Prince Charles and his wife Camilla arriving in New Zealand for a publicity tour tonight, the Republican Movement will kick-off its 'Time for Change' campaign tonight.
"Our campaign will be about raising the issue of New Zealand's head of State, to get New Zealanders thinking about the issue" said Lewis Holden, chair of the Republican Movement.
"We'll be a bit cheeky in the campaign, but our message
is important: it's time for change. It's time we started
talking about making the transition to a New Zealander as
our head of State, chosen by New Zealanders." concluded Mr
Holden
ENDS
The Republican Movement is a network of
New Zealanders who want our head of state to be elected by
New Zealanders - either directly or indirectly.
We are
committed to:
• involving all New Zealanders in the
republic debate;
• providing relevant and reliable
information;
• focusing on ideas, not
personalities;
• winning a referendum to establish the
republic;
Creating a republic does not require any change
to the Treaty of Waitangi, flag or Commonwealth membership.
