Unfortunately, emulating the Kiwis will require a new and improved SCOTUS. I good with that. How about you?I am a capitalist. All capitalism means is that you demand a market economy rather than a command economy (I know leftists hate the word, but that's exactly what a communist or socialist economy is). It doesn't mean you can't have sensible regulations, or that you have the right to buy political influence the same way you do good or services. There are many successful capitalist countries in the world right now (I'd argue every single successful one is at least moderately capitalistic), so we have a range of different models to explore therein.
My main priorities are incentives and checks and balances. A more laissez faire approach is preferred toward those ends, but it doesn't always work out.
As for the Supreme Court of NZ, I don't know enough to have an opinion.
