At present, the party with the most voice in New Zealand is actually the Coalition Party.

First of all, most of the members of the League are retired soldiers and retired officials from New Zealand, and even some current officials.

Although most of them are only some officials with small positions, they do have a higher voice than the New Zealand Labour Party, which is composed of the vast majority of workers.

Secondly, New Zealanders and Australians are a new ethnic group that is a mixture of most British immigrants and a small number of European immigrants, and although they have different ethnic names due to the different regions they live in, they can actually be counted as one type of people.

Many New Zealanders envy the speed of development of Australians today, and they also envy the Australian monarch Arthur.

That's why they support the League, and once New Zealand joins Australia and continues to be a part of Australia, as it did decades ago, they will be able to enjoy the same speed as Australians have with a good monarch.

For this reason, the Union Party even applied to the British Empire for annexation to Australia shortly after the formation of the Principality of Australia, but was rejected by the British government at the time.

It also cost the League some of its prestige, and even some New Zealanders were disappointed with the plan to unite Australia.

But with Arthur becoming Governor of New Zealand, the voice of United Australia grew louder, and the League took advantage of the situation to regain more of a voice than the New Zealand Labour Party.

Looking at the information on the New Zealand colony, Arthur was thoughtful.

For the time being, there is a great deal of hope that Australia will annex New Zealand, and it may even turn New Zealand into a region of Australia and achieve complete annexation.

But there was a problem, Arthur could not directly encourage the New Zealanders, and New Zealand's problems had to be solved by the New Zealanders themselves.

In the absence of direct participation from the Australian forces, the League seems to have become a good force, both as a party with a voice within New Zealand and as a force that favors unity with Australia.

Thinking of this, Arthur decided to find a time to meet with the leader of the League and use the League to encourage New Zealanders in disguise.

On April 7, 1902, after more than ten days of investigation and statistics, the Royal Relief Committee finally finalized the first round of relief in New Zealand.

Compared to the Australian relief plan, the New Zealand relief plan is more like a combination of the first and second rounds of the Australian relief plan.

The Royal Relief Committee will provide a £5 grant to all families earning less than £30 a year throughout New Zealand and provide them with new job opportunities.

So where do the job opportunities come from? In addition to the jobs needed in New Zealand's original factories, constructions, and facilities, Arthur also offered these New Zealanders a new option, which was to work in Australia.

Australia is not close to New Zealand, it is not far away, and it is only a little more than two days, a three-day voyage.

Traveling to Australia for work is also a great option for people who can't find a job in New Zealand.

Just getting the colonial government to agree to this policy cost Arthur a lot of thought.

However, the effect was still very good, and under the suppression of Governor Arthur's status and the threat of the guards next to him, the colonial government still agreed to this proposal very easily.

Arthur did not do this without intention, and having some New Zealanders work in Australia would also strengthen the connection between New Zealand and Australia.

These New Zealanders who go to Australia to work can also tell their families and relatives in Australia about their experiences in Australia during the annual holidays, so that more people yearn for Australia.

Subtlely, do you still have to worry about the New Zealanders not agreeing to merge with Australia?

For those who travel to Australia for work, it will be much smoother if New Zealand and Australia can merge into one unified country.

In the long run, New Zealand's accession to Australia will be a welcome event for these people.

New Zealanders are not very receptive to working in Australia, as they would have to leave their home country for another country.

And Australia's per capita income is not high, although the income of most jobs has exceeded the per capita income, but it is only about 112 pounds, which is about the same as some jobs in New Zealand.

But they were still very welcome to the funds for relief committee relief. In just three days, thousands of low-income New Zealanders in Wellington alone received bailouts from the Royal Relief Committee.

Expanding the scope to the whole of New Zealand, about 8,000 people have received help, and the number is growing wildly.

As the saying goes, eating people is soft-mouthed and short-handed. After receiving the bailout from the Royal Relief Committee, the New Zealanders welcomed Arthur and the members of the committee even more and even began to spread the word about Australia spontaneously.

This was something Arthur hadn't expected. As a result of the spontaneous propaganda of these receiving New Zealanders, more and more New Zealanders have a favorable opinion of Australia, and the support of the League is growing.

There are even many New Zealanders who have begun to discuss the possibility of Arthur becoming their monarch, which is enough to see that Arthur's popularity in New Zealand is already very high.

That being the case, Arthur didn't mind going the extra mile.

At Arthur's behest, the Royal Relief Committee's relief plan added another item to the relief program, which was to give food to low-income people.

Because there were also five pounds of money gifted, there was not much food gifted, only a large bag of flour and five catties of mutton.

Because New Zealand's livestock industry is also very developed, it is easy to buy enough relief food.

Beef and lamb in particular, New Zealand meat is very cheap, especially when it comes to large purchases.

Therefore, the new bailout plan did not actually cost much money, and on the original basis, it only cost less than a pound per person.

But it did regain the goodwill of New Zealanders.

Relief programs that send money, food, and jobs are something these New Zealanders have never encountered.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast. Even though the colonial government of New Zealand has made great efforts to revive New Zealand's economy, in the face of Arthur's relief plan to send money, food and work, New Zealanders instantly feel that their government and officials are not good.

The third is to ask for support! Let's annex New Zealand completely. After looking up a lot of information, I found that this is something that can be done. New Zealand and Australia have the same roots, and there is a high degree of recognition between the two countries, plus New Zealand is not independent, it can still be operated.
