Manifesto

We discussed our policies from 2011 to 2015 and have been largely inactive since 2016. However Deirdre Kent has summarised the findings in her book The Big Shift: Rethinking Money, Tax, Welfare and Governance for the Next Economic System.

The following came from a meeting in June 2012. Further policies are being discussed all the time. We now have a brochure ready.

Our vision is for a New Zealand..
