About The Pirate Party of New Zealand
The Pirate Party of New Zealand aims to become a registered and recognised political party within New Zealand.
The party has only a few policies, of which relate to one’s privacy, Internet use, copyright liability and the Government’s accountability and transparency. The policies are centred around Internet freedom, patent reform and copyright reform. More information can be found on the FAQ and Core Policy pages of the PirateWiki.
