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.

This should be compulsory reading for all Kiwis. The story is full of fascinating stuff about New Zealand that we don't get taught at school. McLachlan cleverly supports the plot with largely "unknown" historical and legal facts, while his kiwi style humour and sharp wit makes the book a great read for both republicans, and pro monarchist. Hard to put down once you've started, you need to read this if you're serious about being a New Zealander (Kiwi).Product details

Kiwi Republic edition by Craig McLachlan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The humour works because the radicals start out as such matter-of-fact, salt-of-the-earth citizens... their movement changes from the complacently inert to a quickly accelerating undertow, sucking in the reader with authentic New Zealand vernacular along the way. Insightful and subversive but without irreverence, it rings true... and made this committed monarchist laugh out loud several times.
Great plot that keeps you reading while giving you a good history lesson & insight into the NZ culture. The "over the top characters names" keep you grounded and remind you that it is not a true story. Recommend highly.
This book doesn't have much plot, but it doesn't provide some interesting facts about New Zealand and its history in an entertaining format.
