Introducing Ourselves

Hello all, My name is Sean Moore and I'm very keen to observe and participate in enterprising ways to engage the public from all walks and paths in helping to New Zealand and New Zealander's to realise win-win opportunities and get people to see past the various wedge issues and silliness that currently dominate the New Zealand political scene.

I'm very positive and hopeful we can start taking very real and practical steps towards building a more inclusive and better New Zealand for all and get past all of the old dogmas and stereotypes.

Hi, my name is Pete and I am excited to be part of the Internet Party. I am a permanent resident of New Zealand but currently physically in Europe. I am also a Web Analyst and Marketing Strategist, mostly during office hours :)

Kia ora everyone! My name is Kahurangi and I currently live in Auckland. After graduating I spent sometime working abroad and have come back to New Zealand with a new outlook on life I am truly ready to see how I can contribute to building this country into a global leader built on a strong foundation on matters such as environmental concerns, the wellbeing of our people and the care for concerning matters for all people across the world. I am currently focused on building a web company that is primarily focused on creating a tool for the unemployment sector. I truly believe that the Internet Party has the right angel to tackle the issues that prevent us from building this country up.

I am more then happy to help in this movement in anyway :)

Tomorrow is a big day for the Internet Party Policy Incubator. During the day we will go live with the Internet Party customised Loomio group:) Your group is the very first one off the rank since the crowdfunding campaign so everyone at Loomio is keen to see it happen. We will move this introduction thread and all the current group members into that new environment.If there is anything you need to do to make that happen I will let you know but hopefully you will find it totally seamless:)
The at 7pm Monday night we will gather on google hangout to explore the Internet Party Policy Incubator loomio group. Answer questions you may have about the tool so far and then get to work developing you plan for inviting other people into the group.

@samgribben welcome , cool to have you here, and great to have your campaigning experience. The policy incubator will be an huge new experiment in the way political parties involve and work with members

Hi all.
I am Grant Keinzley. I have been abroad for many years.

I was rather saddened upon my return to see how poor most NZers are. Obvious indicators were the amount of "Fast, Easy" loans being offered on the tele.

I heard of the Internet Party and thought why not as I have already CEO'ed an organization in Asia that dwarf's the NZ Govt.

So here I am and I have stepped up to offer my assistance.

Name's Joshua Roberts. I am unemployed and currently on welfare from the government. I am living with my parents at the moment.

I happen to be one of those people that never voted. Mostly because i never really cared about how our country was run.

Then National stepped in and Decided that Autism (or just Asperger's which I have specifically), does not qualify for in home help.

I don't claim to be an expert in any field but i wish to help.

Welcome @joshuaroberts , thanks for being one of the first participants in this policy incubator. I look forward to reading your ideas.

Hey y'all
I'm Dave, an uneducated sheep shearer just going into the off season of a seasonal job so I have a fair bit of extra time on my hands. Looking forward to being part of building something from the ground up.

Hi, I'm Kim. I joined IP due to its vision, philosophy and policy abilities. I have 25 years of national and international Human Rights experience. I'm active campaigner within the disability sector. I have created an unofficial IP Facebook page for Disability Issues for those who wish to join in.
