The WIN Party of New Zealand and Geoff Mulvihill first came to my attention when party leader John van Buren featured in a a newspaper article reported on
NZB3 podcast #7.

I don't know why they call themselves "WIN" but they're a single-issue party (they deny this) that's all about the specific property right of 'smoke and let smoke' for any adult who wants to do it at no cost to anyone besides themselves.

According to the Herald Mr Mulvihill is a bit up shit creek now. After willfully resisting the "don't let people smoke in your own bar" rules his liquor licence for the Timaru Carlton Hotel is up for review. Sounds like he's not going to be renewed.

Sad news about that, since WIN are the greatest champions of liberty on this issue. But perhaps this is karma for not joining ACT or Libertarianz and shacking up with United Future instead ah?
