Our NZ has a Constitution

Monday 5 September 2011

Republic of New Zealand Party

News Release

For immediate release

Our NZ has a Constitution

Our New Zealand has a Constitution that makes all citizens equal before the law, protects their human rights and establishes Presidential governance says Kerry Bevin, leader of the Republic of New Zealand party.

Mr Bevin was announcing that the Republic of New Zealand Party and Our NZ have agreed to combine for the coming General Elections.

He said this agreement had emerged from meetings between himself and Our NZ leader Kelvyn Alps and members of both parties.

The revolutionary reforms we’ll propose will give Kiwis a way forward from stagnation, he said.

“We will advance the ideal of our country as a Republic with Our NZ. Kelvyn’s vision makes him a leader for the future,” Mr Bevin said.

Our New Zealand proposes a united New Zealand with a new written constitution.

Ownership of democracy and assets will be attained through Binding Referenda on important issues.

Economic stimulation with a fair and simple one per cent Transaction Tax and No Income Tax will bring much more money to government coffers.

This advances health, education, infrastructure, regional development, Treaty reconciliations and rebuilding Christchurch, Mr Bevin said

Green policy restricts pollution and promotes sustainability with alternative energy and greater research and development.

Defence enhancement will strengthen security and train youth to contribute as part of our society.

“Intelligent New Zealanders should take responsibility for the future of their families by taking a bold New Start with OURNZ Party,” he said.

Audrey Young in the NZ Herald has compiled a useful list of the many ways Christopher Luxon plans to roll back the progress made in race relations over the past forty years. He has described yesterday’s nationwide protests by Maori as “pretty unfair.” Poor thing. More


 
 
Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More


Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru.
