OUR POLICIES
Relief for Kiwi Families
Cost of Living and Economic Relief
We will provide immediate financial relief to hard-working Kiwi families by cutting taxes on essential income, protecting local jobs, and securing fair prices for locally grown food.
Policy Commitments
Make the first $25,000 of personal income completely tax-free to support squeezed middle-class budgets.
Abolish all income tax on superannuation, student loans, and welfare benefits.
Introduce Farm Gate Prices to ensure New Zealanders get first priority and fair pricing on our own home-grown meat and dairy.
Protect Kiwi jobs by mandating that foreign-owned companies employ a baseline percentage of New Zealand citizens.
Apply a higher tax rate to foreign traders and businesses that fail to employ a required baseline of local Kiwi staff.
Incentivise childbirth and support growing families by introducing a dedicated newborn birth payment.
Policy Overview
Middle-class Kiwi families are being pushed to the brink by a persistent cost of living crisis, where the prices of basic staples like dairy, meat, power, and gas continue to erode household savings. It is entirely unacceptable that families are struggling to afford food grown right in our own backyard. We will institute farm gate pricing models, ensuring our home-grown produce is made affordable to local consumers before it is shipped overseas.
To put money back into your pocket, we will restructure the tax system to support working people. Making the first $25,000 of income completely tax-free will provide immediate, meaningful relief to workers, while eliminating taxes on superannuation and student loans will protect our seniors and young people. We will also fiercely protect local employment by ensuring foreign corporations prioritise New Zealand citizens, penalising those who exploit our economy without investing back into our people.
Schools Without Propaganda
Education Excellence
We will return our schools to academic excellence and national unity by removing ideological agendas from the curriculum and investing heavily in foundational learning and our teachers.
Policy Commitments
Completely remove ideologically driven gender theory, Relationship and Sexuality Education (RSE), and political propaganda from the national curriculum.
Refocus classrooms on a knowledge-rich curriculum centred strictly on literacy, numeracy, science, and balanced history.
Invest heavily in high-quality Early Childhood Education (ECE), prioritising early language, literacy, and social skills.
Increase teacher salaries and reduce administrative burdens to attract and retain dedicated educators.
Introduce a strengthened civic education programme to teach children about New Zealand's democratic institutions and responsibilities.
Ensure early childhood environments remain completely free from inappropriate ideological, foreign religious, or overt cultural content.
Policy Overview
New Zealand's education standards have suffered a long-term decline on international benchmarks because the focus has shifted away from core academic achievement toward liberal social engineering. Classrooms should be places where children learn how to think, not what to think. We will conduct an independent review of the curriculum to strip out political bias, ensuring schools concentrate purely on the foundational skills required for future success.
We will also make substantial investments in the earliest years of development, where educational funding delivers the absolute highest return. By expanding specialist student support, raising teacher salaries, and enforcing political neutrality, we will give our educators the tools to succeed. Our schools will rebuild a shared national identity by teaching a balanced history and strong civic values, preparing young Kiwis to become responsible, proud citizens.
Less Government, More Community
Law and Order
We believe in restoring safety to our streets by shifting the focus from expanding government bureaucracy to empowering local communities and providing real, 24/7 support for families in need.
Policy Commitments
Deputise Community Support Officers to actively support the Police in maintaining public safety.
Fund and deploy proven grassroots organisations with proven success records to deliver 24/7 wrap-around services.
Provide comprehensive family resources to address root issues such as truancy, addiction, debt, and housing instability.
Tackle crime through an integrated approach combining local accountability, strict enforcement, and prevention.
Policy Overview
Every New Zealander deserves to feel safe in their home, business, and community. The current system relies too heavily on distant government agencies that fail to deliver results on the ground. We will change this by introducing less government and more community-led action to protect our neighbourhoods. By deputising Community Support Officers, we will provide our Police with the visible, practical backup they need to maintain public safety and restore order.
True prevention starts with the family unit. We will resource and deploy established groups which already work on the front line every day to help families overcome parenting challenges, truancy, drugs, alcohol, and debt. Instead of pouring tax dollars into failing state bureaucracies, we will invest directly into solutions that break the cycle of crime, hold individuals accountable, and bring long-term stability back to our local towns.
Infrastructure for Local Growth
Transport and Infrastructure
We will ensure that infrastructure and transport networks directly serve local communities so that rapid regional growth no longer leaves everyday Kiwis stranded or left behind.
Policy Commitments
Prioritise transport links and infrastructure upgrades that align with local community growth.
Deliver common sense economic growth focused on productive investment over expanding bureaucracy.
Ensure rapidly growing regions receive their fair share of funding for roads, schools, and essential services.
Policy Overview
For too long, transportation planning has been dominated by central government mandates that ignore the practical realities of daily life for commuting families. Middle-class households are paying rising local council rates, yet they continue to face gridlock and declining road quality. We will ensure that local growth is always matched by immediate, high-quality infrastructure investment so local communities are never left behind.
Our transport policy is built on practical delivery, not ideological global agendas. We believe in building roads and transport networks that cut congestion, reduce commuting times, and allow families to spend more time together rather than stuck in traffic.
One Nation, One People
National Identity, Sovereignty, and Immigration
We stand for one unified country, free from global overreach and divisive race-based politics, where the rights and culture of Kiwi citizens are put first.
Policy Commitments
Unify the country under our core principle: One Nation, One People, One Vote, One Government, One Flag, Under One God.
Pause mass immigration immediately to review visa policies and relieve pressure on local infrastructure and communities.
Restore absolute national sovereignty by leaving the United Nations and the Paris Accord.
Extend the residency requirement for obtaining New Zealand citizenship to 10 years and end dual citizenship for new applicants.
Declare English as the official language of New Zealand.
End all race-based politics and He Puapua-driven policies across government.
Policy Overview
New Zealand is a sovereign nation, yet our laws, farming practices, and daily lives are increasingly dictated by unelected global bodies like the United Nations. We will completely suspend our commitment to UN regulations and leave the Paris Accord, returning the power to govern New Zealand back to New Zealanders. We will also declare English as our official language, ensuring a clear and shared foundation for national communication.
To protect our local communities and stop the strain on local infrastructure, we will pause mass immigration immediately. We will tighten citizenship criteria by extending the application period to 10 years and removing the option for dual citizenship for incoming applicants, ensuring that those who join us are fully committed to assimilating into Kiwi culture. True unity means ending the divisive, race-based policies that split our country into separate categories. We stand for equal rights under a single flag.
Protecting Biological Reality
Women's Rights and the Two-Gender Policy
We will uphold biological reality in law to safeguard the privacy, safety, and hard-won rights of women and protect our children from harmful, premature decisions.
Policy Commitments
Legally define and protect biological sex strictly as male and female based on objective scientific reality.
Ensure all single-sex spaces, including public toilets, changing rooms, women's refuges, and correctional facilities, are designated by biological sex.
Protect fairness in women's sports by strictly restricting participation to biological categories.
Prohibit all medical interventions for gender transition in minors.
Introduce a Parental Rights Bill to fully restore parental authority over the health and wellbeing of children up to the age of 16 years.
Review and repeal aspects of the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Act 2021 that undermine biological definitions.
Policy Overview
A stable and just society depends on shared understandings grounded in objective truth. The escalating confusion surrounding biological identity harms the safety and privacy of women and girls. We will pass clear legislation defining sex as male and female to ensure that women's sports remain fair and that private spaces like changing rooms and refuges remain completely secure.
Furthermore, we believe our children must be protected, not exposed to life-altering, irreversible medical procedures before they reach full maturity. We will completely ban gender transition medical interventions for minors and introduce a Parental Rights Bill. This law will ensure parents remain fully informed and retain ultimate decision-making authority over their children's wellbeing, pushing back against ideologically driven agendas that attempt to cut families out of the conversation.
Frontline Service Delivery First
Human Rights and Healthcare
We will build a high-quality, universally accessible healthcare system focused on frontline service delivery, professional retention, and protecting the sanctity of human life.
Policy Commitments
Prioritise primary healthcare spending to improve GP access and reduce specialist waitlists across local towns.
Increase the salary budgets for health professionals to retain our vital medical staff within the system.
Completely remove all race-based targeted policies and spending within the healthcare sector.
Fully fund Plunket and increase financial support for pre-natal and post-natal care for mothers and infants.
Review and reform existing legislation that endangers the lives of unborn children.
Boost funding for university health degrees and provide incentives for domestic students to enter medical professions.
Policy Overview
Our healthcare system is facing critical strain due to persistent specialist waitlists and severe shortages of local GPs. Instead of pouring money into top-heavy administration and divisive race-based spending, we will redirect health budgets directly to the frontline where it matters most. By increasing salaries for our healthcare professionals and boosting university training incentives, we will keep Kiwi doctors and nurses working right here in New Zealand.
We also firmly believe that a compassionate society must protect its most vulnerable, beginning in the womb. We will actively review legislation that endangers the unborn child, while expanding practical support for new families. This includes providing increased funding for essential pre-natal and post-natal care, as well as delivering full, stable funding for Plunket so mothers and their babies receive the best possible start in life.
Democracy Reset Now
MMP Fatigue and Democracy Reset
We will restore true democracy and public accountability by eliminating unelected List MPs, cutting the size of government, and placing power firmly back into the hands of local voters.
Policy Commitments
Overhaul the MMP system to completely eliminate party lists, ensuring only candidates who win an electorate seat can serve in parliament.
Reduce the total number of Members of Parliament to downsize government spending and bureaucracy.
Introduce term limits for politicians to do away with career-driven politics.
Mandate regular drug testing for all sitting MPs to ensure integrity and professional accountability.
Ban taxpayer-funded alcohol at all MP functions and reject the introduction of digital IDs.
Policy Overview
The current MMP system has created an undemocratic environment where minor, unelected List MPs hold a disproportionate amount of power. These career politicians frequently alter national legislation and push aggressive agendas without ever securing a direct public mandate from the voters. We believe that if you cannot win the confidence of a local electorate, you have no business sitting in our parliament.
To clean up politics, we will put the government on a strict diet. We will reduce the overall number of MPs, implement limited terms, and enforce strict personal accountability rules, including regular drug testing and a total ban on taxpayer-funded alcohol at political functions. Parliament should be filled with dedicated public servants focused on their constituents, not career politicians insulated inside a Wellington bubble.
