Citizenship

UnitedFuture's Citizenship policy may be downloaded at the bottom of the page.

It is UnitedFuture policy to:

• Ensure that school pupils understand their civic rights and responsibilities, the structure of the New Zealand Parliament and of Local Government and their means of access to them.
• Nationally televise the Youth Parliament to give credence to the efforts of young people to lift the bar.
• Require immigrants to take a civics course as part of becoming a New Zealand citizen, to promote civic understanding and teach immigrants what it is to be a “Kiwi” and what the norms and expectations of New Zealand society are.
• Introduce a graded system towards citizenship to develop the idea that citizenship is a privilege and not a right.
