Solving problems & creating opportunities for longterm prosperity.
Welcome to The Zealandia Party, please bear with us as our website is still under construction.
This party was created as the founders felt that the current mainstream parties did not address things in a manner that we think is good for the long term prosperity of the peoples that call New Zealand home.
The Zealandia Party aims not to conform to any one set ideology, but to attempt to address problems. We can look around the world and see there have been policies from across the political spectrums that have been successful at addressing problems. In saying that, there still must be an underlying philosophy. Ours is that the government should for the most part let the people do as they please, whether that be to conduct business, seek employment, or otherwise, while stepping in to advocate for the rights of individual and groups of people. This encompasses things like workers rights, consumer protections, anti-competitive practices, national defence, security, and more.
Some of our policy ideas include:
- Re-establish Ministry of Works to help with both unemployment and large scale infrastructure projects.
- Use the MoW as a way to retain talent for large infrastructure projects.
- Separate ownership and operation of rail infrastructure by nationalising Kiwirail and renting out track usage to freight and passenger companies, whether they be public or private.
- Finish electrification of the NIMT rail line with the help of MoW, working in stages.
- Prioritise abundant and affordable clean energy as a foundation for productivity and growth.
- Introduce an LVT that can be used to lower income taxes while incentivising use of vacant or otherwise underused properties.
- Increase competition in various sectors, such as supermarkets to limit the (effective) duopoly and it’s effects on the cost of living.
- Reduce regulatory barriers for smaller businesses, allowing for more small competitors to start up, with various regulations and standards scaled to business size/revenue.
- Improve employment prospects for kiwis by tightening requirements for companies hiring overseas workers, particularly in low-skilled fields.
- Focus digital reforms on redesigning the state for efficiency while placing heavy emphasis on privacy.
- Implement a Distributed Data Exchange layer similar to Estonia and Finland’s X-Road system.
- Enable secure data sharing between government agencies to reduce duplication, speed up decision making, allow for processes to run in parallel, prevent citizens from repeatedly submitting the same information.
