Fact: A New Zealander cannot become Head of State for New Zealand,
and an Australian cannot become Head of State for Australia. The
Head of State for both countries is the reigning British monarch.
In this novel, a group of young Kiwis set out on an intriguing
mission to see their country become a republic .... so that a New
Zealander can become Head of State for New Zealand. Our heroes aim
to take things a step further, demanding a new flag and a change of
name for the country - after all, how many people know where old
Zealand is? And historians confirm that no-one knows for certain
who gave New Zealand its name It wasn't Abel Tasman, as most Kiwis
think The Kiwi Republican Front uses headline-grabbing publicity
stunts to convince Kiwis that getting a bold new start in the world
as the Republic of Aotearoa is the way to go. They challenge the
establishment, challenge the monarchists, and keep Kiwis laughing
while bringing important hidden historical facts to light. When the
sitting Prime Minister decides that her best chances at re-election
could well be as the country's first President, suddenly the Kiwi
Republican Front has some heavyweight support. One last publicity
coup may well do it .... For once, it's the Australians trailing
the Kiwi as some trans-Tasman rivalry sees the Aussies race to
become a republic first.
