Anton Olver Invited To Join Cannabis Party

Anton Olver Invited To Join Cannabis Party

The Aotearoa Leagalise Cannabis Party today announced that they have
formally invited ex-All Black Anton Oliver to stand for the party. Oliver
is considering his options after signaling his intention to enter politics.

The ALCP believe that Mr Oliver would fit well in the party, due to his
strong ecological principles and business ethics. His Oxford background
would also set him up well for a political career with the ALCP, who have
agreed to offer Oliver a top ranking position on the party list, in return
for his endorsement.

Mr Oliver is stunned at the proliferation of intensive dairy farming in New
Zealand and is concerned about the impact of these farms on the
environment. The introduction of Hemp Farming initiatives is the ideal
solution to this problem.

Regulating and taxing cannabis, New Zealand's third favourite drug, would
add over a Billion dollars to the economy annually, making Cannabis Law
Reform a huge political issue in New Zealand.
