Topic: Freedom Party (New Zealand)


  
  Freedom Party International - Consent 19 - October 1993
Secondly, although the Reform Party, I agree, is far from the ideal party in what we might be looking for in a political party, I still think that, as a federal option, its platform is closest to Freedom Party's in many significant respects.
When parties are in such a bad position that they start changing electoral laws immediately prior to an election --- to rig the election in their favour --- we know we're talking about parties that are in big trouble with the electorate.
Freedom Party has been carefully analysing the platforms and policies of the Reform Party since it emerged on the federal scene, and we have been particularly impressed with Preston Manning as its leader.

 ALCP Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
With the formation of the new Labour-led Government in October, the cannabis legal status is again a ‘balance of power' issue in NZ.
This unfortunately maintains a regime which abuses freedom and protects no-one, but it does leave some hope for progress in the provision of medicinal cannabis, and cannabis law reformers will be working on this, while not losing sight of the 'big picture'.
As a political party - and with your support - the ALCP will continue to strive to 'legalise cannabis for recreational, spiritual, medicinal and industrial purposes, and institute a proper balance between the power of the state and the rights of the individual'.

 Anarchism - Indvidualistic Middle Class Trend
Freedom for the working class will require a socialist revolution to smash the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and establish a socialist state that stands guard against a capitalist counter-revolution.
As all class conscious workers know, this "freedom" means the freedom of big business to increase competition between workers for jobs, and so drastically lower real wages, by undermining the ability of workers to organise collectively against their employers.
But it is the Communist Party, not the anarchist movement, that has shown itself to be the "leader of the opposition" to the line of class collaboration being promoted inside the labour movement by the opportunist leaders of the CTU and Labour Party.

 Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand People: Nandor Tanczos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
His pivotal role in persuading the government to allow hemp cultivation to begin in New Zealand is one of the things of which he is most proud.
Nandor took notice; he had been sympathetic to the Green Party of Aotearoa NZ for a long time, and this was heartening proof that involvement in representative politics did not preclude involvement in direct action politics.
Nandor joined the party that day, but not before speaking at the conference that made that decision, and it was a challenging speech; he asked why the Green Party wasn't attracting young people.

Radio sets were recently designated the “new enemies” of the North Korean regime, and the Party launched a crackdown at the end of 2003 on illicit listening.

 Russia Blog: New Zealand’s Crackdown on NGOs Ignored by Western Freedom Activists
According to the new bill, many tax breaks will be taken away from NGOs, and harsh audits will be authorized to determine the purpose of NGO activities; supporters say that the bill will combat abuses in the non-profit sphere in the country.
On October 19th the new Russian law came into effect, sparking another wave of outraged articles and reports with scary titles like “Crackdown on Democracy”, etc. The question is: Where is the well-deserved outrage in the American and European human rights communities about this new New Zealand bill?
Perhaps Western human rights activists care only about Russia, and have nothing in their hearts and minds for the good people of New Zealand, or maybe the Kremlin found a way to change the laws of this distant country to distract people and improve its own image.

 New Zealand WIN Party - Freedom of Choice - fighting smoking ban in bars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The New Zealand WIN Party has copped a lot of dissension from supporters over the decision to align with Peter Dunne and United Future for New Zealand Election '05, but the dissension has come after the election and after Peter Dunne's decision to support and be part of the Labour led government.
Some of our critics say that had the WIN Party aligned with National, the election outcome would have seen National gain the most seats, but hello, wake up, it is obvious from United Future's party vote result that our aligning with National would not have changed the outcome.
Well-established and/or resourced parties such as ACT, the Progressives, the Alliance and Destiny did not come anywhere near attracting five percent of the party vote, an outcome that was obvious to the WIN Party executive long before election day.
