No-one is more important than anyone else. We all matter, each and every one of us.
New Zealand First wants every kiwi to be treated the same, to have equal opportunity and to be treated with fairness and respect. Today we see a nation divided by race, with the government and other political parties focusing on virtue signalling and politically correct extremism.
Fighting against racist Separatism
- New Zealand means New Zealand and not, ‘Aotearoa New Zealand.’
- Legislate to make English the primary official language of New Zealand.
- All public service departments, Crown Entities and SOEs will be required to communicate in English except those specifically related to Maori.
- Rule out working with any political party that promotes separatism.
- Withdraw from the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as it removes the rights of New Zealand citizens to write their own laws.
Defending Freedom
- Protect freedom of speech by opposing hate speech laws
- Support legislation that protects the right to lawfully acquired property.
- Amend the Building Act, to require in the interest and safety of women and girls, that all public sector organisations provide separate, clearly demarcated, unisex and single sex bathrooms.
- Amend the Sport and Recreation New Zealand Act to remove public funding from bodies that allow non-biological women to be selected unequally against biological women.
- End all vaccine mandates, still operating in some organisations and medical facilities, and hold a credible fully independent Inquiry into New Zealand’s Covid-19 Response.
Defending Democracy and our nation’s Sovereignty
- Hold a binding referendum on a four-year Parliamentary Term at the 2026 Election
- Require a national interest test to stop us being dictated to by the United Nations and agencies like the W.H.O.
- Defund any public participation in the World Economic Forum and related bodies, where their deliberations intend the removal of independent democratic decision making by sovereign nations.
