	Christian Coalition (New Zealand) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Christian Coalition was a Christian political party operating in New Zealand.
		It was an alliance of the Christian Heritage Party and the Christian Democrats, New Zealand's two largest Christian parties.
		There were also complaints from the Christian Democrats that Christian Heritage was dominating the Coalition, and that Graham Capill (leader of Christian Heritage and of the Coalition as a whole) was running the party "autocratically".

	New Zealand - ArtPolitic Encyclopedia of Politics : Information Portal

	Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand // What's Presbyterian?: Chapter 14: Christian Behaviour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Christian morality, while not denying many of the standards of behaviour which are approved in society, generally looks at the question, "What ought I to do?" from the standpoint of the eternal.
		The Christian morality rests on the fact that a changed man can deal with his neighbour in a new way, in which the stern demands of duty are transmuted into occasions of love, and rights are emptied of self.
		Christian behaviour is displayed in particular actions, as when the cup of cold water is given: but it is also displayed in the shape of a man's career.

		New Zealand is, in fact, the melanoma capital of Earth, thanks to clean air, the sun's proximity during summer (closer here than in the northern hemisphere, they tell me; I'm not sure how that works, but whatever, it sure feels like it), and the world's widespread ozone-destroying CFC use.
		New Zealand is blessed with not only an active and successful Green Party, but an electoral system that doesn't instantly neutralize political change through arcane winner-take-all rules.
		New Zealand has a strange insecurity about its close, peaceful relationship with Australia, one often compared to Canada's sense of itself in comparison with the U.S.: a mix of envy, kinship, resentment, shared history, and a struggle to maintain an identity.

	The Religion Report - 14/8/2002: Christians and politics in New Zealand
		What is new is that Helen Clark’s former coalition partner, the Alliance, was pretty much wiped out, forcing her to form an alliance with a religious party, the Christian United Future Party, which has been accused of burying its true social agenda during the election campaign.
		Certainly one of the eight has indicated that he is not a Christian, and it is not a confessional party in the sense you don’t have to be a Christian to belong, or to stand for the party.
		For example, one of the new MPs in fact has ceased to be an MP because of the change in the balance of power in the last few days as a result of special votes.

		Christian Heritage won 0.12 per cent of the vote 2495 ticks, and well down on the 27,492 votes (1.35 per cent) it won in 2002.
		Christian Heritage was inevitably damaged by the conviction of former leader Graham Capill for sexual offences against children, even though it condemned Capill.
		Yet current Christian politics in New Zealand are strongly centred on the social and economic right a tidy fit with the notion of "God helps those who help themselves".

		Not since New Zealand became the first country in the world to grant its female citizens the vote in 1893 have competing perceptions of women loomed so large on the political landscape of this South Pacific nation of 3.7 million inhabitants.
		As the new prime minister and leader of the ruling conservative National Party, Shipley becomes the country's first-ever female premier, with New Zealand the only nation in the world right now where both major parliamentary parties are led by women.
		A former political science university lecturer from Auckland, the country's largest city, she chose not to have children in favor of pursuing personal political ambitions that were nurtured in the left-wing idealism of the early women's movement of the 1960s.

		In New Zealand, Britain, Canada, and the UK the political consensus had adopted much more of a socialist centre until the early 1980s, whereupon the political centre moved rightwards but still remained to the left of the US political centre.
		This is because the criticisms from the political right appear not to exceed what is covered in the working paper, but also because there is an apparent consternation within the conservative National caucus and in the electorate about what radical reforms may follow the election of a Brash-led government.
		The apparent unwillingness of Christians to pool their resources for the benefit of the community is reflected in (and reflects) our user-pays culture and the unwillingness of the baby-boomers to pay higher taxes for the benefit of society as a whole.

	POLITICS: New Zealand Polls Stir up Maori Issues
		In that speech, Brash railed against ''the dangerous drift towards racial separatism'' and complained that there was a ''grievance industry'' exploiting concerns over the implementation of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi, signed between Maori leaders and British colonisers, guaranteeing Maori ownership of their lands, forests and fisheries.
		While the seven seats in the New Zealand parliament, allocated to Maori people, have traditionally gone to the Labour Party, the fledgling party may now win three or four of the reserved seats.

	> Christian Democrat abcworld.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Christian Democracy is a political ideology, born at the end of the 19th century, largely as a result of the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum of Pope Leo XIII, in which the Vatican recognizes workers' misery and agrees that something should be done about it, in reaction to the rise of the socialist and trade-union movements.
		The position of the Roman Catholic Church on this matter was further clarified in a subsequent encyclical, Quadragesimo Anno, by Pope Pius XI in 1931.
		The duty of the State to care for its citizens is of some importance for Christian Democrats, but they generally do not support Christian socialism, and, in recent decades, Christian Democratic Parties in Europe have shifted more towards the conservative position of reducing the role of the State in the economy.

		Reading some media reports of the United Future Party and their Christian membership, you'd think that 7% of New Zealanders had just elected Josef Stalin.
