Clint Heine launches New Zealand Bloggers Union


Clint Heine launches New Zealand Bloggers Union

Over the past week I have set up the first ever NZ Bloggers union. Based entirely on the model set up by our student associations in NZ, I have co-opted all NZ bloggers to be members.

As President of the organisation I will like to reveal some of the members of this union and our objectives.

Red Confectionery
Span Blather
Sleep on Politics
Maria Von Trapp
Tony Milne - I see Red
Jordan Carter - Just Left
Capitalism - Bad Tree Pretty
Aucklander at Large

The blogging union objectives is to fight the Labour/Progressive Government and their cohorts the Greens and United. We want lower taxes, privatisation of SOEs, a taxpayers bill of rights, a Regulatory Responsibility Bill, to reduce welfare dependency and an end of the Maori seats apartheid system in our electoral seats.

You might be aware of these poilcies as being similar to ACT, Libertarianz and National policies for which we shamelessly adhere to.

Membership is compulsory and you cannot opt out of the union without written permission.
We must be compulsory in order to fully represent our members with one united bloggers voice as well as maintaining a vibrant bloggers community for which would die out if we became voluntary.

The rules of membership will follow closely the model defined by our student associations and will offer conscientious objection options to members if they do not wish to be represented.

I look forward to representing the views of all bloggers in New Zealand.
