	New Zealand Conservative Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ross Meurant, one of the more conservative members of Parliament, was known as leader of the New Zealand Police's high-profile "Red Squad" during the controversial 1981 Springbok Tour.
		The launch of the new party was carefully planned, and the Prime Minister, Jim Bolger, was well aware of it.
		This new campaign was based on the claim that National, once strongly associated with agricultural sector, had abandoned farmers for "big business" and the cities.

	Market Reform: Lessons from New Zealand by Rupert Darwall - Policy Review, No. 118 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		New Zealand should be one of the fastest-growing countries in the world, a magnet for ambitious people looking for a better life.
		New Zealand remains the only developed country to have scrapped farm support, a political achievement all the greater given that agriculture is New Zealand’s largest sector.
		But the right in New Zealand assisted the left’s recovery and current ascendancy by rendering their own market principles inoperable, as these bore a diminishing resemblance to what they actually did when they were in government and to their policies when in opposition.

	New Zealand Labour Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		It is currently the dominant party in the country's ruling coalition, holding fifty-one of the 120 seats in the New Zealand Parliament.
		After the 1928 elections, however, the party was left in an advantageous position — the Reform Party and the new United Party (a revival of the Liberals) were tied on twenty-seven seats each, and neither could govern without Labour support.
		There were significant internal tensions within the party, eventually culminating in the resignation of a junior minister, Tariana Turia and her establishment of the new Maori Party.

	Correspondents Report - New Zealand debates whether to scrap exclusive Maori Parliamentary seats
		New Zealand's Conservative National Party Opposition believes that these seats have outlived their usefulness, given that Maori now enjoy exactly the same rights as other New Zealanders, and there was no longer the need for special rights for one race.
		When he announced his Party's new position on the issue, there was a chorus of protests from academics, community leaders and politicians, with Prime Minister, Helen Clark, accusing Mr English of playing "desperate politics", others simply denounced him as racist.
		In 1996, New Zealand switched to a mixed member proportional voting system, but has shifted votes from the major two parties to a number of smaller parties, and it's that change that has convinced Opposition Leader, Bill English, that Maori no longer need special seats.

	LLRX.com - An Overview of New Zealand Law
		As a consequence, New Zealand lawyers are accustomed to researching the law across a number of jurisdictions.
		However, the recent move on the part of the New Zealand Department for courts to place all unreported decisions of the New Zealand courts on the Australian database host AUSTLII means that there are now two major sites for locating different sorts of New Zealand legal information.
		Law students and young lawyers in New Zealand are usually encouraged to begin by looking at commentary, especially a standard current textbook on the subject, or the relevant section in a legal encyclopaedia.

		For the Maori Party, the price of supporting a minority Labour government could be concessions on Maori rights to the foreshore and funding for Maori-specific education, health and welfare programmes.
		While the New Zealand Greens just scraped over the minimum threshold with 5.07 percent of the vote to win six seats, their chances of being included in a formal coalition appear to have dimmed.

	Scoop: ACT - New Zealand's Liberal Party
		The National party has no belief in the dynamic powers of free enterprise to solve problems and so has frequently made use of the coercive regulatory powers of the state in an attempt to prevent change.
		The most devastating criticism of the two old parties' Resource Management Act is that for all its compliance cost, regulations and army of bureaucrats the Act has failed to conserve the environment.
		It is ironic that the United party elected on family values should, as its first action in parliament, support a bill that attacks the values that underpin out society.

	British Conservative Party election manifesto, 1987
		Conservatives aim to extend as widely as possible the opportunity to own property and build up capital, to exercise real choice in education, and to develop economic independence and security.
		As a party committed to the family and opposed to the over-powerful State, we want people to keep more of what they earn, and to have more freedom of choice about what they do for themselves, their families and for others less fortunate.
		Conservatives have always believed that a fundamental purpose of government is to protect the security of the citizen under the rule of law.

		The new history falsely portrayed the British administrators and armed forces of the 19th Century as either tyrants or poltroons, and the settlers as heroic refugees fleeing from an oppressive government in the British Isles.
		The new power brokers who run the government, mass media, and mass education institutions are still suppressing any knowledge that the people who founded the New Zealand culture of today were not Polynesians or Europeans but British.
		When told that they are "New Zealanders" and should integrate with the majority of the population naturally enough many of them object.

		His New Zealand counterpart, Helen Clark, is also taking domestic flak, but in her case from conservatives accusing her of failing to stand alongside Wellington's "traditional allies" - the U.S., Australia and Britain.
		Ken Shirley, foreign deputy leader of the ACT party, said Clark was interfering in Australia's domestic politics by delivering a speech in the country that so clearly sided with the opposition against the government.

		With the formation of the new Labour-led Government last month the cannabis legal status is again effectively the ‘balance of power' issue in NZ.

		For five months, Prime Minister Sidney G. Holland, leader of the New Zealand National (Conservative) Party, bitterly fought the Communist-led Waterside Workers Union, whose repeated strikes tied up the country's vital export trade.
		Invoking wartime emergency regulations, Holland declared the union illegal, sponsored a rival union, on rare occasions denied the dockers the right of assembly, free speech or publication.
		When the striking dockers finally gave in (TIME, July 16), Holland decided that New Zealand should have an opportunity to say it approved of his tough methods.

		As conservatives, we need to make it clear that we will not vote for any candidate who refuses to close our borders to illegal immigration and cut back on legal immigration, at least until we can acculturate the immigrants we already have.
		This is the legacy of having an immigration pattern that is the opposite of diverse; the poor French suburban population we're talking about is monolithic and has become culturally indigestible.
		The French have unwittingly imported not the healthy diaspora the multiculturalists promised, but the seeds of a new nation that is perhaps beginning to clamor for sovereignty.

		For an international example: In New Zealand a conservative party brought in a privatization program that resulted in mass homelessness and a wider gap between rich and poor.
		After a major crisis a rebirth of the "left" occurred, and now a coalition of "greens" and trade unionists are taking back their postal service and rail and airline services with better cost and service delivery efficiency.

		Firstly I compared a conservative philosophy of life with the present world obsession with economic determinism.
		I pointed out that most of the green parties are made up of economic determinists of the socialist variety whose obsession with power is even more destructive than the greed associated with the capitalists they both hate and imitate.
		The consequent growth of personal stress and social violence is only part of the price paid for such an obsession with physical health and wealth, moreover the material environment is unable to take the strain imposed upon it and ecological catastrophes are fast approaching.

		Brash has criticized, among other government proposals, the awarding the Maoris rights to exploit New Zealand’s seashores and sea beds (see “Maori Tribesmen Threaten to Seize,” TOH, 23 Dec 03).
		Labour politicians, including Prime Minister Helen Clark, compared Brash to Australia’s Pauline Hanson, who galvanized opposition to Third World immigration to her country, and accused him of dividing New Zealand along racial lines.
