The Problem: Wealth Concentration, Stagnant Wages, Housing Crisis, and Tamariki Poverty in Aotearoa
For too long, our economy has flowed upward—accumulating wealth in the hands of a tiny elite, while the majority of Aotearoa’s people, especially our Tamariki, struggle under everyday hardship.
Our Vision
Our
Vision
Our guiding truth is simple yet revolutionary: if the economy isn’t serving the people (especially our tamariki and whānau) then it simply isn’t working. Economics must be a tool for care and equitable flourishing, not a machine for concentration and exclusion.

The Problem
Our economy’s failure to serve the many betrays our shared values of Manaakitanga/ care, whanaungatanga/ connectedness, and utu/ balance and accountability.
That’s why redistribution is not charity, it’s justice. It’s not punishment, it’s restoration. If our economy doesn’t work for the people (especially for tamariki and whānau) then it’s broken.
Why It
Matters...
Wealth held in vaults or shifted offshore is democracy denied.
But when it circulates: building homes, nourishing children, empowering workers, everyone benefits. Redistribution is restorative: it returns dignity to those defrauded, security to those vulnerable, and mana to communities historically ignored.
We believe that fair redistribution is how we reclaim democracy, nurture wellbeing, and realize true justice for every person in Aotearoa.
