Seven Questions For A Christian Vote: Part Two

Reverend Dr Malcolm Falloon of the New Zealand Christian Network continues his series on questions Christians might weigh up before voting, covering family and social cohesion, taxation, immigration, and foreign policy.

Dr Falloon argues New Zealand's true wealth lies in independent, stable families rather than state dependency, and warns that rising taxation erodes the charity sector's ability to deliver social services. On immigration he favours continued welcome and gospel opportunity but stresses integration over importing a workforce to patch superannuation shortfalls, while on foreign policy he advocates an independent stance rather than deferring to international courts or the UN, particularly regarding Israel. He closes by urging Christians to vote "shrewd as serpents, innocent as doves" - investing their party vote in long-term convictions and their candidate vote in the best available person, even when that splits from their preferred party.
