Your Honor

I am attempting to Draft a Kawenata (Covenant/Social Contract) for my nation here in New Zealand.

I would be most appreciative of your feedback, suggestions and thoughts. Would this be a country you would like to live in outside of your own? Please find Kawenata below.

Thank you, Lee Taituha

The Aotearoa New Zealand Living Standard

Te Kawenata o Aotearoa – Year 2122

This Kawenata demonstrates a collective purpose and commitment of good faith in building The Aotearoa New Zealand Living Standard for our children, whānau and local communities, whilst fostering the awareness and participation of our international allies and trade partners.

This Kawenata seeks measurable and practical outcomes guided by free and open debate and expression of cultural uniqueness whilst promoting common values through reason. We seek progress through the accurate evaluation of research and evidence supported by the scientific and democratic processes.

This Kawenata promotes the instrument of Ngā Kete Wānanga e Toru (The Three Baskets of Knowledge) for current and future generations to work better together in achieving agreed and mutual aspirations under annual review of outcomes until the Year 2122, and under a unified vision of ‘Better, together – Tātou, tātou e.’

Ngā Kete Wānanga e Toru (The Three Baskets of Knowledge)

Whakapono - Faith & Truth

We set forth this Kawenata as an ensign of good faith in ensuring the ennoblement and protection of all peoples in their own individual and collective beliefs and all religions to peacefully associate and worship. We earnestly search for facts and evidence in support of the truth as far it can be demonstrably and proven through reason and due process of law to be peaceably attained for the betterment of all peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Whakapapa – Heritage & Succession

We acknowledge all citizens and people legally resident in Aotearoa New Zealand as entitled to our utmost care, protection and fellowship. We seek for unified improvement and succession through learning the lessons of the past and conservation of the achievements and sacrifices of our ancestors through accurate historical records and accounts.

Mana Motuhake – Individual Responsibility & Collective Purpose

We recognize the mana, standing and responsibilities of all people of Aotearoa New Zealand as individual citizens, whānau and communities. This Kawenata sets an environmentally sustainable living standard to further enable our individual responsibilities and affect a collective purpose by i) replacement of all taxes with a 10% real estate value tax (R.E.V) ii) a transitional job-guarantee for all willing and able to work including both a minimum wage and pension of $75,000 iii) free healthcare, education and permanent 0% interest rate finance to ensure all have nutritious food and own a home.

"There is a power behind the throne, and greater than the throne, which says to King and Parliament you shall or shall not go to war. You shall sustain the laws and constitution, or you shall suspend them both at our option. Which taxes as it pleases, and that without responsibility to any but stockholders. The reader can too easily divine the nature of this power, for it is now grinding America as well as England in the dust.‎" -Clinton Roosevelt 1841 The science of government founded on natural law. (pg ~39)

It is the banking system.
