Thursday, 24 October 2019, 8:27 am Press Release: Vision NZ
Vision NZ says it is a mockery that people who have been in
the county five minutes can decide the fate of our nation.
New Zealand is one of the few countries in the world that
gives non-citizens the right to vote.
Vision NZ
will put a stop to this madness. "We will make it a
bottomline in any coalition negotiations," Jevan Goulter
says. "Come the 2023 election only New Zealand citizens will
have the right to vote."
It is clear that the
political class don't take the issue of citizenship
seriously. ‘
"Under Labour and National, people
have been able to effectively buy their way into the
country. Look at Kim Dotcom for example. Or Simon Bridges'
Chinese mates," Goulter says.
"Why should these people
get the same rights as someone born and raised here?"
Vision NZ believes that it is time for New Zealanders to
take back control of their democracy. "Labour and National
have sold us out to pander to migrant communities because
that's where the money and votes are," Goulter says.
Vision NZ will put the votes - and the money - back into
the hands of real New
Zealanders
