Why would men make a public display of burning protection orders. After all, they protect victims and vulnerable people from abusers don’t they?

Republic of New Zealand Party Leader, Kerry Bevin, says Labour is dead.

Campaigning in the P.M’s Mt Albert electorate, he claimed that Labour’s naked populism, follies of a decade, accumulated sins, lack of vision and a total leadership failure to address critical issues with a planned strategy has finally put the government down.

Mothers Day puts the spotlight on how New Zealand policies are impacting on mothers, says Hans Laven, Spokesperson on Social Development for The Republic of New Zealand Party. 

“While token gestures have been made with great fanfare, real help for mothers still seems to elude us.  Things like adequate reimbursement for one of the most important jobs in the country.  Things like child-friendly jobs and workplaces.” said Mr Laven today at his Tauranga electorate office.

“Organisations are often reluctant to hire part time workers because many costs cannot be reduced and the productive return is low.  A really useful initiative would be to reimburse employers for their extra costs in order to increase the number of part-time mother-friendly jobs available.  The savings made from reduced separations, better-adjusted children, lower DPB payments and lower stress-related health costs would more than pay for such an initiative.”

“Many more workplaces could and should provide child-care facilities or allow mothers to bring children to work when necessary.  A society that includes rather than excludes children makes a better society for mothers.”

Mr Laven accused successive governments of misleading mothers by encouraging them to break up their family units through the ready availability of the DPB.

“Government pays mothers only if they separate from their children’s father.  For many, the promise of the DPB as a viable lifestyle is a cruel hoax that results in poverty.  Perhaps we could try rewarding mothers adequately for their work within their families instead.” 
Mr Laven challenged government to show true respect for mothers by making their crucial role more rewarding and viable in the modern era.

Welcome to the Republic of NZ Party Website.

We are the only party that will bring NZ the new start it needs.

MONTHLY CHAIRMANS REPORT [Dave Llewell]

Hello to every one out there in the future republic of New Zealand.

Is the New Zealand public ready for political change?

Without doubt people are crying out for it.  There are protests in the streets, not only in Auckland and Wellington, but in the smaller centres also.  800 turning out in Tauranga this week, to protest the EFA. 

It is with some excitement and anticipation that I write this report.  The election is now one month closer, and in my calculation no mater what date Ms Clark decides to appoint Election Day, it will be less than 6 months away.  Those that want to see the real change that our New Start - 5 Ways Forward campaign can bring about, need their noses to the grindstone now, as this time will pass very quickly.
 
So just what are we The Republic Party of New Zealand doing?

• May is membership month, and we are in full swing to capture the politically inclined for our campaign. 
• Next weekend we go into our final policy refinement meeting to prepare for policy ratification at our National Conference.
• Queens Birthday Weekend we will hold our National Conference in Hastings and our final Election Caucus Campaign Strategy Meeting.

Then my friends it will be a full on drive into the Election Campaign.  Remember we still have vacancies in electorates so if you think you have got what it takes to be a Republic of NZ Party candidate, contact us as soon as possible. 

We have our goal and it is to have Republic of New Zealand Party MP’s in the House of Representatives, from this Election.  Why is this so important? 

• We are the party that will drive our country through political Stagnation and onto true independence. 
• We are the party that will bring back social stability with 5 Ways Forward.

We will only achieve this by keeping in mind that….

 “Obstacles are something we see only when we take our eyes of the prize”.

This is a fight for what is right, and for what we believe in. We can not let any thing distract us from our aim.

I look forward to seeing you all in Hastings for the conference.

Regards Dave Llewell.
