“I got kicked out of Parliament for doing magic.

So now I’m going back… to finish the trick.”

 Who Am I?

I’m Captain Kiwi — joyful disruptor, rogue magician, political satirist, and New Zealand’s most unpredictable parliamentary candidate.

I don’t lobby.
I don’t lie.
I do balloon animals and free sausage sizzles.

What Do I Believe?

Parliament is broken.
But people are beautiful.

So I don’t shake hands — I pull cards from back pockets.
I don’t argue — I juggle.
I don’t manipulate — I mesmerise.
I don’t sell politics — I give away play.

What Have I Done?

• Got kicked out of Parliament for doing literal magic

• Fed crowds at rallies with free fairy bread and sausages

• Performed for thousands at schools, festivals, markets

• Capture joy through my lens as a street and event photographer

• Created a whole toy brand (PLAE) that makes magic and teaches circus tricks

• Ran workshops on fire spinning, shuffle dance, and wonder

• Showed up, over and over, with one simple mission: joy is political

“My political debut was a 7-second clip of me spinning poi outside Parliament, dressed as Captain Kiwi. That’s it. That’s all you need to know.”

The NZ Party Party

Why This Exists

This party wasn’t created to argue about GDP.
It wasn’t made to write reports, make promises, or apply for funding.
It was made because everything else is too slow.

The world is heavy.
People are burnt out.
And somewhere along the way, we forgot how to have fun.
We forgot that joy is serious. That play matters.

So we’re not waiting. We’re not applying. We’re not debating.
We’re just doing it.

Giving out slinkies. Teaching kids how to regulate their emotions using circus toys.
Hosting festivals. Running free sausage sizzles. Bringing bubbles, jelly towers, glitter, and fairy bread wherever it’s needed.

Our Policy?

Thinking and talking about policies… is just thinking and talking.
We’re not here for policies. We’re here for action.
We’re not here to beg for permission. We’re not here to draft 10-year plans.
We’re spending the little money we already have to do good now.

We’re not pretending to be serious. We are serious.
Serious about play. Serious about joy. Serious about community.

What This Is

This is an invite.

If you’re tired of taking everything seriously and getting nothing back, come join us.
If you want to help bring magic to your street, school, or town, come join us.
If you’re fed up with a system that only listens when you wear a suit or hold a briefcase, you already understand what we’re doing.

But What If You Don’t Like It?

Then don’t vote for us.
There are plenty of other parties for you.
We’re not trying to convince you. We’re not trying to win you over.

If you’re upset by someone giving out slinkies and making people happy,
you might need to go sit in a park and have a cry.

Is Parliament So Serious?

Have you seen Parliament lately?

Go look at the Prime Minister’s Instagram.
It’s full of Sigma Male edits and soundbite dunks.
Parliament is already a circus — we’re just being honest about it.

So What Are We Doing?

We’re skipping the wait.
We’re skipping the permission forms.
We’re skipping the pretend arguments and political theatre.
We’re restoring joy, connection, and community — the real kind.

With bubbles.
With play.
With actual people.

If that makes us a joke, then we’re the best one running.

NZ Party Party's Party!
