imnofox and AnswerMeNow announce the formation of the Australian Pacific Unity Party

“Kia ora, tena koutou katoa! For too long, the Pacific has been neglected by Australia,” opens imnofox. “and the relationships between Australia and the South Pacific have deteriorated as a result. Our guiding principle is simple: a United Pacific for all.”

“We launch today with 5 straightforward policies. The first- to federalise the South Pacific under the progressive leadership of Jacinda Ardern. Only under a federalised system can the Pacific truly unite under a single banner, working constructively together for the good of the Pacific.” says imnofox.

“Secondly, we are committed to strengthening the rights of Pacific Islanders and New Zealanders residing in Australia. For decades, this country has stripped away their basic rights and entitlements, despite Australians expecting and benefiting from the same rights and entitlements across the Pacific.” adds imnofox. “Our third key policy is to increase Australia’s aid to the Pacific, and to strengthen our diplomatic relations with those nations- which Australia has let deteriorate over the last decade.”

“Finally, we recognise the impact Australia has had, with it’s destructive coal mining industry, on climate change- and it is the low-lying Pacific nations that bear the brunt of the impacts of climate change. We will fight to combat climate change, for the good of the Pacific.” continues imnofox. “Alongside those efforts, we will strive to introduce a new Climate Change Visa, to take in as many Pacific Islanders as we can who have displaced from their homes due to climate change.”

“I am proud to announce that today I have started my campaign in the Kingston by-election, fighting to get our message out there and join my co-leader AnswerMeNow in the federal parliament. I’ll pass the mic over to him.” finishes imnofox.

“Malō soifua! Just a week ago, the electorate in Lingiari once again put their confidence in me to serve as a member of parliament, for the third time. My party may have changed, but my allegiance to my constituents has not. I’m here today to announce that I’ll be joining imnofox in the Pacific Unity Party, to make a better, stronger Australia- as I believe that’s the best thing possible I can do for my people, for the Northern Territory, and for my country.” says AnswerMeNow.

“We need change, and we need to work with our Pacific siblings-in-arms. That’s why I’m joining AusPUP- not out of political opportunism or greediness, but out of a wish. A wish for a better Northern Territory, for a better Australia- for a better world! Thank you.” closes AnswerMeNow.

the huge crowd of Australians, New Zealanders, Samoans, Fijians, Niueans, Tongans, etc erupted into applause, ready to elect their second AusPUP representative in the Kingston by-election
