Why I'm standing

Money Free Party NZ has viable solutions to our growing list of problems. No other party is suggesting anything resembling actual integrity. We are proposing a move beyond money, competition, business and exploitation. With the knowledge, tools and resources available to us today we are well positioned to rapidly transition from impending catastrophe to a future of prosperity, sustainability and freedom for all humans. Only the existence and supremacy of money prevent us from thriving.

About me

Money Free Party NZ has had the same philosophy and fundamental position for over ten years. As Party founder and leader I am confident we are on the right track to solve our burgeoning list of problems. As a retired airline pilot and licenced aero engineer I have spent all my adult life in areas where integrity is of paramount importance. By bringing these disciplines to the socioenvironmental arena it is clear how we need to proceed.

My priorities
  1. Abolish money - as the root cause of every significant problem for humanity. This is a good start.
  2. Re-order society to reflect planetary realities.
  3. Repair and restore the natural and societal environments in accordance with natural law.
