(Click audio above) Unite NZ is not just another Political Party that would be limited only to standing within the current NZ Parliamentary System. Instead, Unite NZ proposes an entirely new structure of government (Constitutional Republic) to replace the current flawed NZ parliamentary system. Therefore, the flagship proposal of Unite NZ is the written Constitution of New Zealand (download at unitenz.org). Unite NZ is firstly a community-based movement of concerned Kiwis from regions across New Zealand including Kiwis living abroad who want to make life better for their children’s future and who love New Zealand. We know that the last thing New Zealand needs right now is a another typical or even well-intentioned Political Party making promises they can’t deliver through the current faulty NZ parliamentary system. Nothing has worked because the actual structure of government which all Political Partys attempt to operate within is itself entirely flawed simply because we are without a single written Constitution of New Zealand. The proposed written Constitution of New Zealand does not require Political Partys, however nor does it abolish current or future Political Partys. But rather, this Constitution of NZ enables individuals and independent candidates more opportunities and the freedom from existing Party structures and pressures to present better and more improved policy options for all New Zealanders to consider. Citizens would therefore be able to stand for leadership in The Congress (Legislature) or The Presidency of New Zealand (Executive) either with or without membership in a Political Party. To ensure the proposed written Constitution is clearly understood and openly available for consideration by all New Zealanders, Unite NZ is also an Educational Campaign, with the written Constitution itself serving as the new Civics Education Curriculum for New Zealand. We unitedly believe that educating our future generations to care for and take upon themselves a special personal responsibility to their families, communities and country is the most proven way to ensure peace, safety and prosperity. This has been the source of our success in the past and can be so again, but now with the added protection, strength and stability of a written Constitution as a constant self-correcting compass and guide to prevent us from falling backwards again. Therefore, we invite all New Zealanders to read, ask the tough questions and debate the merits of this written Constitution of NZ, including the many new and improved policy options available, and for you or others you know to consider standing for the Office of The President and/or The Congress of New Zealand.

(Click audio above) Of any of the proposals you have ever bothered to read before, we believe this to be the most important for you and your family’s future. Unite NZ encourages all New Zealanders who have concern for the future and a love for New Zealand to read, ask questions about this proposed written Constitution of NZ. It is self-evident that our current social instability and financial under-performance is simply because we have never had a single written Constitution to enable us to self-correct and stabilize our economy, communities and our entire way of life. No matter which Political Party you voted for, none of their policies have worked and nothing is improving, instead our communities are sliding backwards. This is difficult for many to admit openly but they know privately that Unite NZ is correct in these assertions, as inconvenient as this may be for us all to hear. So many New Zealander’s have now given up entirely on getting better public policy. Others hope that somehow voting for the same political party, that things will improve or many of us have voted for a party or candidate just to keep another worse alternative or coalition out of parliament. Many Kiwis are left with this mediocre false choice of voting against something through exasperation instead of voting for something through inspiration. As a result, New Zealand has never been more socially divided and in more dire need of leadership through clarity, confidence and stability. This proposed written Constitution of NZ delivers exactly those outcomes starting with complete clarity of leadership. For example, this written Constitution ensures all families have the security of a Tax-Free Job Guarantee & Tax-Free Pension to stabilize prices, and 0% Interest Home Loans needing only the equivalent of a fraction of one income stream to service those loans. These aren’t merely fleeting policies that can be promised and reneged upon by a politician, but are constitutional guarantees regardless of any candidate, party or government. The constitution of any civilization, society and nation must be written to be readily and clearly understood by all and found in one complete written document. History has proven that any person, group or even well-intentioned government without a single written constitution, will make up separated laws on their own to gain power and control without the people having any say except ultimately by forceful, costly and destructive social revolutions. However, once a constitution is entirely written down in one place and in the language understood by all the people, then the power contained in that Constitution and Laws is peacefully passed freely from the ‘Writers’ directly to the ‘Readers’ through the simple act of reading then debating and understanding. The knowledge and understanding transfers and limits political power with the written words defining the source, confining its use and refining the process in which that power can or cannot be used. All cultures in history have accepted governing texts as crucial foundational and constitutional rocks that their society can be anchored to for guidance and clarity, especially during difficult times. Imagine the Caveman without their etchings and symbols on their cave walls recording seasonal activities, hunting and gathering instructions. Likewise, imagine Christianity without The Bible, Islam without the Qur’an, Judaism without the Tanakh, General Relativity & Quantum Theory without written equations, Atheism without secular texts. Written legal and constitutional words convey clear objective meaning and not merely the subjective or vague intent of those doing the writing or those doing the interpreting. The process of learning and perfecting this discipline is called ‘Textualism.’ Unite NZ encourages all New Zealanders to be ‘Textualists,’ meaning ‘We the People’ as ‘Textualists’ decide upon the laws we live under based upon the meaning of the actual words at the time they were written and not just the good intentions of those who we elect to write our laws (Legislators) or those who are appointed to interpret our laws (Judges & Justices). “We are all Textualists now.” Justice Elena Kagan – US Supreme Court. ‘Words have meaning,’ and written words preserve and convey that meaning at the time they were written. For example, the written word ‘up’ has always meant ‘up,’ and the written word ‘down’ has always meant ‘down’. If we wish the word ‘up’ had another meaning, then we simply choose another word that has the meaning we desire. We do not change the original meaning of the actual word ‘up’ to suit what we or even a majority would like or prefer ‘up’ to mean. This is why important legal documents include a ‘Glossary’ or a ‘List of Definitions’ of the specific words they have written to limit the likelihood of confusion and vagueness through misunderstandings or misinterpretations. Textualism protects the meaning of words relating to our freedom, like our pin number protects our bank account relating to our savings. The principle of reasonable ‘Textualism’ is universal whether you are an average citizen reading the written constitution and laws or whether you are a professional Lawyer or Justice of the Supreme Court interpreting the words written into laws. Because words have meaning, that meaning is where our freedoms are protected against those who have or wish to gain power through confusing or distorting the meaning of words, especially important words of a Peoples Constitution and Laws pertaining to protection of freedoms, life and death. “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Lord Acton (1834-1902) Without this proposed written Constitution of New Zealand, our pre-existing freedoms will continue to be diminished even through the good and virtuous intentions of people and governments we voluntarily elect. Thousands of years of human history proves that even good and virtuous people will eventually create new powers to protect their existing power. Many corrupt Leaders did not begin corrupt. In fact, many Leaders of the past began governing with good and virtuous intentions, which might explain why their initial proposals and policies were popular with the people. Through a need to maintain the loyalty, agreement and even the love and affection of the people during difficult times, those Leaders desire for power grew in order to keep public order and protect themselves against any uprising of the people when their policies eventually failed or at least became outdated. “Man naturally desires not only to be loved, but to be lovely.” Adam Smith 1723-1790 (The Theory of Moral Sentiments). Without the clear limits and controls on government provided through the proposed written Constitution of New Zealand, it is inevitable and indeed simply Human Nature that all future governments will always grow so our freedoms will diminish. This natural human tendency is referred to in latin as Libido dominandi (the lust to dominate). The proposed written Constitution of New Zealand is the long overdue protection against Libido dominandi and instead the basis to foster more Libido liberate (the lust to liberate). “We are a nation of laws, and not of men.” “Never forget that it is a ‘Constitution’ that we are expounding.” John Marshall 2nd Chief Justice of The United States 1755-1835.

(Click audio above) Yes, in fact this Constitution of NZ is the ‘only’ way that any of us and our families can ever be financially better off in NZ. No other proposal can or even attempts to come close to this Constitution when it comes to paying the bills and getting ahead in life! For example; Article 2 Section 3: Congress shall write no law limiting access to the basic need for potable water, fresh nutritious food and secure housing, including limits resulting from regulation, taxation and interest rates. Article 2 Section 8: Congress shall write no law resulting in the taxation of a person’s income or their financial transactions and shall not allow the charging of interest nor end or alter the 7th Year Debt Jubilee. Unite NZ also proposes other specific economic policies pursuant to Article 1 Section 1 of the Constitution of New Zealand, including: R3.1: 7th Year $50,000 Private Debt Jubilee and/or NZ Business Shareholding. R3.2: Permanent 0% Interest Rate & Financing. R3.3: 0% Income Tax & GST. R3.4: Tax Free $1,250 p/week Transitional Job Guarantee (>16 y/o) R3.5: Tax Free $1,250 p/week Pension (>64 y/o)

(Click audio above) Yes. This proposed Constitution of NZ makes it unconstitutional for candidates to lie and/or falsely represent their Policy pledges during their campaigns for election and not deliver those policies whilst in office. No other Constitution in the world carries this same or any similar protection to The People and Citizens of any nation. Refer to Article 2 Section 2: All government officials and candidates for public office are subject to prosecution and punishment of 7 years imprisonment for perjury or lying to ‘We the People’. It is also important to recognize that not all political candidates are inherently liars and through the current electoral system, MMP (Mixed Member Proportional) a candidate may in fact be prevented in honestly following through with their campaign promises. For example, they may not be able to gain other elected candidates support in the post-election negotiations when a coalition government is being formed. This is a further reason why the proposed Constitution of NZ must replace the current flawed parliamentary structure including MMP, to simply ensure that what was promised in every candidates campaign can in fact be delivered upon with promises assured via Article 2 Section 2 of The Constitution of New Zealand.

(Click audio above) No. The Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi is not the written Constitution of New Zealand. In fact, since 1840 until today The Treaty of Waitangi continues to be argued with no clarity or consensus of its constitutional power let alone it’s actual meaning. There still exists today trenchant and even hostile disagreement as to whether The Treaty or Te Tiriti even has principles let alone any constitutional power. Some individuals and groups maintain that to even have public debate over The Treaty/Te Tirirti is inherently racist depending upon your race or cultural identity. This racial and cultural chilling of the freedom of speech is counter to democracy, which relies entirely upon citizens being able to publicly and openly debate the merits of any policy, law or political matter without fear or favour. Pursuant to The Constitution of New Zealand: Article 3 Section 1: The Constitution of NZ is Supreme Law: The Constitution of New Zealand as approved and further amended is Supreme Law of New Zealand, including supremacy over all previous law, constitutional arrangements, treaties and international agreements. However, the Constitution is entirely amendable, meaning that if New Zealanders desire for the Treaty of Waitangi to be adopted, included or even to replace this written Constitution entirely, then this is provided for in: Article 3 Section 3: Constitutional Amendment, Impeachment and Removal from Office The Constitution of New Zealand is amendable by ‘We the People’. Constitutional amendments or official impeachment and removal proceedings shall be tabled upon agreement of 50% of the members of Congress and approved by 75% of the local councils. The written Constitution of NZ is therefore teaching us all a crucially important lesson with regards to any form of government we choose. The lesson is this, that it is not what is ‘best’ or what is ‘right’ that is important, but who decides what’s best and what is right. The Constitution of NZ teaches that it is ‘We the People’ who shall decide. Unite NZ believes in progress, but to progress democratically.

(Click audio above) Yes. We believe in progress, but to progress democratically. However, history has shown that even democracy through electing a majority can also supress freedoms through ‘The Tyranny of The Majority’ or ‘Mob Rule.’ “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1865) The Drafters of the original US Constitution we’re also mindful of the dangers in both rule by a Tyrannical Minority (A King, Emperor or Monarch) and likewise rule by a Tyrannical Majority (A Mob). During the drafting of this written Constitution of New Zealand, the leadership of Unite NZ recognized this same dilemma, but we were also mindful of the mistakes made and lessons learned across the world including since 1788 in the case of the US Constitution, as the longest standing written Constitution in the world. With all its faults, democracy is still the preferred system of Governance proposed by Unite NZ. But democracy must have clear limits and controls on any majority or elected government. This proposed Constitution achieves this at many levels, including clear ‘Separation of Powers across x 3 co-equal Branches of Government’ of Article 1 and the ‘Bill of Limitations & Controls on Government’ of Article 2. More than any other proposal in New Zealand History, this Constitution is the protection and assurance of our democracy but keeps democracy in check in service of ‘We the People.’ Through the proposed Constitution’s structure of x 3 Articles, are also it’s x 3 Principles at the same time (1. To Define 2. To Confine & 3. To Refine Government). In fact, through The Constitution of New Zealand we get x 3 co-equal branches of government instead of currently just the two, which means we get ‘Double the Democracy’ but only requiring ‘Half the size of Government.’ For example: Article 1 - To Define the Structure of Government. Article 1 Section 1: Replacing the current 123 MP’s of Parliament with only 67 Members of Congress whom we elected to only write and not execute the Laws of NZ on our behalf. Unlike today the Parliament (legislature) & The Prime Minister of NZ are the same thing, both writing and executing the laws. Under the proposed Constitution of NZ, those who write the laws do don’t execute the laws. This is a clear separation of powers to protect personal freedom and democracy, that currently does not exist in New Zealand. Article 1 Section 2: Replacing The Prime Minister with The President, who cannot write laws but only execute the laws Congress writes. The President is separately elected to Congress which means a further check and balance and the ability for The People to have more democracy through two separate elections further diluting down the possibility for excessive government power.
