Everything you need to know about the upcoming NZ General Election and two referendums, from the team behind The Citizen's Handbook.

The question is not whether we should legalise marijuana, but how we should legalise marijuana. The Citizen's Handbook asks the questions that need asking and expresses how it’s important the marijuana industry doesn’t become like the alcohol industry – so how do we stop that from happening?

Earlier in 2020, the creators of White Man Behind a Desk brought you The Citizen's Handbook, which was all about empowering the audience with the knowledge of how this country came to be, how it currently works, and how we can face the challenges that lie ahead.

Robbie Nicol and Finn Teppett have returned ahead of the 2020 New Zealand General Election to not only break down how to vote, but to provide background and knowledge on the two referendums so everyone in New Zealand understands what they are voting on.
