Peter Cresswell List Candidate

I returned from Britain in 1995 to design people's architectural dreams in the gorgeous New Zealand landscape, and to escape from the stuffiness and enervation of five years in the home of bureaucracy. To my horror I found that the bureaucracy had already arrived -- in my five years away the Resource Management Act and the Building Act had already begun stripping New Zealanders of property rights and making houses more expensive and less attractive, and worse was to come.

I want to be part of a Libertarianz team that brings reason, freedom and property rights into Parliament, and back to New Zealand.
