About Us
New Zealand First Policy
Since 1993, New Zealand First has proven to consistently focus our efforts on five main policy pillars to advance and strengthen the social and economic direction of our country.
Break up the Supermarket Duopoly
For too long, New Zealanders have faced rising grocery bills while Woolworths and Foodstuffs control more than 80 percent of the grocery market. The Commerce Commission has previously found those supermarket giants earning around $1 million a day in excess profits.

New Zealand First has announced its campaign policy that will see 50% of any royalties gained from mining to be directly returned to the region from which it came – not Wellington.
