NZ PARTY PARTY – THE HEART DOCUMENT

We are not Left.

We are not Right.

We are forward.

We are upwards.

We are inwards — to the heart of Aotearoa.

We are NZ PARTY PARTY: a joyful rebellion with no masters, no handlers, no spin.

We are here to make New Zealand safer, funner, and kinder.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is simple:

To create a New Zealand where joy, play, and magic are not luxuries—they are essential.

Where children grow up learning wonder, creativity, and courage.

Where communities connect, not just coexist.

Where politics is not a theatre of fear, but a playground of possibility.

We rise by turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, showing that fun and love are forces for cultural transformation.

WHO WE ARE

We are not career politicians.

We are citizens, artists, and joy-bringers.

We are the barefoot circus in Parliament.

We are the glitter in the gears.

We are the child’s voice saying, “the Emperor has no clothes.”

We are the people who make government feel alive again:

• handing out toys at schools

• leading bubble protests for political engagement

• marching with inflatable dinosaurs to protest fossil fuels

• hosting public festivals that remind people what together feels like
  
  

WHAT WE BELIEVE

The system works exactly as intended — to distract, divide, and exhaust.

But love, play, and joy are not optional.

We are here to rewrite the rules: to embed kindness, creativity, and community at the centre of how New Zealand functions.

We believe:

• Children’s laughter is revolutionary

• Play is essential to intelligence, empathy, and resilience

• Public spectacle can create civic connection and awareness

• Culture drives politics faster than policy ever can
  
  

HOW WE ACT

We don’t wait for permission.

We play to change the world.

Our methods are joyful, disruptive, and grounded in lived experience:

• Toy and magic workshops in schools and communities

• Inflatable dinosaur marches demanding climate action

• Bubble protests highlighting political apathy

• Street performances and festivals that teach joy and civic engagement

• Sausage sizzles, fairy bread, and glitter bombs to bring people together

We enchant, we delight, we show by doing, not by lecturing.

OUR POLICIES (Yes, They’re Real)

We do not promise utopia. We promise what is possible when people are empowered, joyful, and connected.

HOW WE SPEAK

We speak:

• From the belly

• From the heart

• From the child still alive inside us
  We speak with:

• Fire

• Satire

• Sincerity

• Play

• Love that does not beg for approval
  
  

We don’t water down truth.

We don’t perform respectability.

We are what happens when joy is organised.

WHY THIS WORKS

Culture moves politics faster than policy.

When children learn awe, creativity, and empathy, they grow into adults who demand fairness, curiosity, and courage.

When communities gather for festivals, bubbles, dinosaurs, and play, they practice democracy and joy simultaneously.

Our lived experience approach proves: joyful engagement beats ideology every time.

OUR INVITATION

We are not here to be liked.

We are not here to win.

We are here to make Parliament, schools, streets, and parks spaces of possibility.

Join the movement.

Join the circus.

Join the public spectacle of joy, magic, and love.

This is NZ PARTY PARTY.

We are here to make New Zealand safer, funner, and kinder, one bubble, one toy, and one enchanted street at a time.
