Julian Pistorius for Mt Albert

admin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:17:45 +0000

Julian Pistorius is standing for Libertarianz in the Mt Albert by-election. If you don’t believe that the government should be allowed to steal and bulldoze your house for a motorway, Julian is the only person to vote for.

Says Julian: “Regulations in New Zealand now make it easier to bulldoze family homes, than to touch ‘green’ areas. Plants and puddles are now more important than people. It is time to put individuals and their property rights first. That is what a free and prosperous society is based on.”

“It is obvious that without the Resource Management Act (which all but prohibits touching mangrove swamps and minor creeks), the NZTA could be more creative when planning motorway routes. And to protect property rights, the Public Works Act - which allows them to steal people’s homes - should be scrapped.”

Freedom has universal appeal. So why is it so hard for political parties to expand freedom rather than restrict it?

Libertarianz Health Policy

admin — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 09:54:50 +0000

Your ownership of your own body is your most fundamental right. Your body is your own to look after or to abuse. Likewise your health care is your own responsibility. Libertarianz health policy recognises this.

Forcing someone to subsidise another’s health care costs is wrong. Taxpayer funding of health care also serves as an excuse for all sorts of further nannying. If the state carries the cost of your mountain climbing or pie eating it will be naturally inclined to boss you around while you’re doing those things.

Libertarianz health spokesman, Dr Richard McGrath, explains the Party’s health policy and outlines a transitional policy which will see those goals realised over five years.
