Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Abortion
9>9 Personal answerPro-choice |
the Economy › Equal Pay
9>9 Personal answerNo, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary |
Healthcare › Mental Health
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Gay Marriage
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Euthanasia
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Universal Dental Care
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Government Surveillance
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Taxes
9>9 Personal answerYes, but it should be done in-line with decent international examples, e.g., no wealth tax on already taxed earnings, no property tax on assets already paid for. Increase all tax brackets, and add further. Add a CGT. Such tax should also come with *obvious* benefits for the country, not further government growth. |
Domestic Policy › Internet Regulation
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Marijuana
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Death Penalty
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
9>9 Personal answerYes, and adjust it every year according to inflation |
Social › Gender Transition
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Elections
9>9 Personal answerYes, maybe, *but only* if we are competent to do it well, without negative repercussions. So far NZ agencies keep getting caught when they spy... I wouldn't rely on ours too heavily at present. |
the Environment › Environmental Regulation
9>9 Personal answerNo, just enforce existing regulations |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
9>9 Personal answerYes, and it should be at least two years of service |
Foreign Policy › Terrorist Citizenship
9>9 Personal answerNo, they should be detained, investigated, and given a fair trial once they re-enter our country |
Housing › First Home Buyers
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
9>9 Personal answerNo. Drug use, so says the science, is best treated as a health issue. Addiction needs to be treated yes, but making life harder for people will not remove their dependency or its effects on them and their families. If "drugs are a crutch", who are you to take a person's crutch? Such questions are too often left to public opinion - what does the general public know or care about such things? |
Social › Hate Speech
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Education › University Tuition
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
9>9 Personal answerNo, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender |
Housing › Foreign Land Ownership
9>9 Personal answerNo, increase taxes on foreign purchased land instead |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Housing › Housing Infrastructure
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Transgender Athletes
9>9 Personal answerSomewhat. Cis men/trans men yes, cis women/trans women no - there are structural and chemical differences and advantages even once on HRT. It's unfair to compete in this way. We should keep working on the idea though. |
Transportation › Public Transportation
9>9 Personal answerYes, the government has been penalising people for using fossil fuels yet provides NO decent alternatives. Decent, affordable and reliable public transport is *owed*. |
the Economy › Retirement Age
9>9 Personal answerNo, the current age of 65 is sufficient |
Domestic Policy › Maori Parliament Seats
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Education › National Standards
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
9>9 Personal answerYes, but this doesn't go far enough. The first duty of the state should be to provide basic subsidence for every person (food, water, shelter, cloths, etc). This should be their fundamental focus before and beyond any other consideration - anything else is unethical. |
the Environment › Animal Testing
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Education › Te Reo Māori
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only if it is taught by language specialists |
the Economy › Government Spending
9>9 Personal answerNo, you must spend money to make money. Bet on the economy, then build it intelligently. |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
9>9 Personal answerRaise |
Science › Nuclear Energy
9>9 Personal answerYes, I support the use and research of nuclear energy, but see no need for the standard reactor types in NZ - we're simply too small, and the risk is too great. Research should be encouraged, and recent smaller design concepts should be considered though. |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo |

9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
9>9 Personal answerYes |

Elections › Minimum Voting Age
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Mental competency testing
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Niqāb
9>9 Personal answerYes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member |
Social › Women in Combat
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men |
the Environment › 1080 Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo, but there should be more restrictions on its use |
Healthcare › Medical Consensus
9>9 Personal answerNo, but the doctors should be required to disclose that the advice contradicts contemporary scientific consensus |
Domestic Policy › Whistleblower Protection

9>9 Personal answerIncrease |
Social › Employee Diversity Training
9>9 Personal answerNo |

Crime › Defunding the Police
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Water Tax
9>9 Personal answerNo, only if they are shipping resources overseas |
the Economy › Labor Unions
9>9 Personal answerHurt. Collective bargaining and striking for conditions is useful, but they shouldn't be making politicol donations and making political attack ads. Such groups should try to strong arm me into joining (who the f%$# do they think they are to do that?). |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence |
Elections › Campaign Finance
9>9 Personal answerYes, but limit the amount they can donate |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
9>9 Personal answerNo, and farmers should be penalised/fined for dumping excess nitrogen and other filth into the water table. Further fines should cover excess methane and other emissions. No more f%$#ing excuses. |
Housing › Land Supply
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only after living in the country for 5 years |
Education › Charter Schools
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Ukraine and Nato
9>9 Personal answerNo. This would be foolishly dangerous and would risk global nuclear war. I never realised how powerful ideology and propaganda could be until I saw the growing disaster that is the unfolding Ukraine war. |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › TikTok Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Candidate Transparency

9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › World Health Organization
9>9 Personal answerYes |

9>9 Personal answerMaintain, but only ever give foreign aid for humanitarian purposes (food, clothing, etc) - not weapons. |
Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
9>9 Personal answerGreatly Increase. Increase to a set % of GDP, and greatly increase the cross-over between the armed forces and the scientific and industrial sectors in NZ. Increase the number of kiwis getting military experience and training in survival and physical fitness and health. |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Tech Monopolies
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Gig worker tax reporting
9>9 Personal answerNo. What right do they have to see all private transaction? AML is monitored at the bank level, this is just a violation of reasonable privacy. One more erosion of freedoms excused by fear-mongering of the morally corrupt. |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Stock Buybacks
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Saudi Arabia and Iran
9>9 Personal answerYes, maybe. If this is something we can do as a negotiating actor and not a military power. |
