The civilian party

The policies:

Declare New Zealand’s independence from Hamilton. (Read more)

Establish a space program, and become the first nation in Australasia to send a man to the moon; not to explore it, just someone we don’t like.

Reform the tax system so that it rewards success and punishes failure. Ensure that the bulk of taxes are aimed at the greatest source of poverty in New Zealand: the poor. (Read more)

Remove the monarchy and become an independent banana republic. (Read more)

Close the pay gap between men and women by working to reduce men’s wages.

Alleviate poverty amongst children by giving every poverty-stricken child a llama as a means to a basic income.

End discrimination against social majorities. No more special services just for Maori; no more car parks just for disabled people; no more hip operations just for people who need hip operations.

Relegalise illegal legal highs. The recent government crackdown on these products was overzealous, and there is no reason that perfectly legal substances should be illegal. (Read more)

Make Wellington airport safer by moving it to Christchurch.

Defend the traditional institution of marriage as the union between one man and one volumetric flask.

Reform the Justice system so that every citizen is required to prove why they shouldn’t be in prison.

Issue a formal apology to Australia’s aboriginal population.

Maintain New Zealand’s long-term commitment to free nuclear energy.

Seek to acquire new government assets, such as Bonus Bonds and a timeshare, and be proactive in exploring new economic opportunities, including some advertisements that suggest we could make $5,000 a week online.

Ice cream.

Lower greenhouse gas emissions by placing restrictions on the number of greenhouses, and greater obligations upon trees to absorb carbon dioxide.

Bring ultra-fast broadband access to the majority of rural New Zealand by 2016 and dial-up to Invercargill by 2017.

Hold on a national referendum on the value of referenda. (Read more)

Replace New Zealand’s national anthem with the theme song from the 1996 film Space Jam, by Quad City DJs. A Maori version of Space Jam shall be composed to be sung alongside the English version.

Ban all “satire” or anything claiming to be “satire.” It has been given a chance, but too often has it proven to be offensive and difficult to grasp. No one should be made to feel upset or challenged for the sake of “jokes” and “laughter.”

Landing on Panus

I have been on this planet called Panus for hundreds of minutes now. I came to this planet to see its wonderful landscapes and natural wonders, but now I am stuck. I am stuck because my dumb friend ate our last fuel source, a rainbow strip. Just incase you were wondering, our space ship is a pegasus. We came on our pegasus with just me and my mate, and then we came across this really friendly alien called hoorgav. Our pegasus is not damaged, it just cant function without rainbow strips. The next morning we went out to have a look at this beautiful planet, we saw a copy of the white house, mount everest and even a statue of my mum. I then heard some foot steps behind us, so I turned around and I saw ET. He then gave us some rainbow strips and we went home.
