After 14 years of advocating for New Zealanders’ rights and “people power”, the NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party is entering a new era and has streamlined its name to a single, sharp, and unmistakable name: ‘freedom’.
The rebrand marks a strategic pivot toward a fundamental “paradigm upgrade” for New Zealand’s political system: the transition from a traditional parliamentary model to a system of Direct Democracy.
“For too long, the people of New Zealand have been sidelined by a system that treats public consultation as a toothless illusion,” says ‘freedom’ Leader Sue Grey. “We are tired of watching Wellington ignore the voices of everyday Kiwis while pushing through top-down agendas. It is time to shift power from the politicians back to the people.”
The Core Platform: Power to the People
‘freedom’s new platform is built on three pillars designed to dismantle bureaucratic overreach and restore individual sovereignty:
- Enshrining fundamental rights and freedoms: ‘freedom’ is calling for constitutional reform. Fundamental rights and freedoms which are currently recognized, but NOT protected by the NZ Bill of Rights Act (NZBORA), will be elevated to supreme law. This would prevent any future government from overriding fundamental rights, such as freedom of speech, conscience, movement, bodily autonomy, and the right to refuse medical treatment
-
Implementing Direct Democracy: Inspired by the Swiss model, Freedom proposes two powerful, binding mechanisms:
Citizens’ Veto: The power for citizens to gather signatures to force a binding nationwide vote to strike down unpopular legislation.
Citizen-Initiated Lawmaking: The power for citizens to draft and trigger referendums on new laws, bypassing the traditional parliamentary bottleneck. -
Decentralisation: freedom advocates for moving decision-making to the local level. Direct Democracy will reduce the size of the central government and will reallocate decision making and funding to local communities.
Returning power to the people
Direct Democracy will shrink the influence of traditional politicians and political parties, transitioning their role from “decision-makers” to “administrators” who carry out the will of the public.
“Career politicians won’t like Direct Democracy. That’s too bad!” says Sue Grey. “We are here to return power to the people. Once these changes are enshrined and the power is safely in your hands, our job is done.”
The Roadmap to Change
‘freedom’ has outlined a transition strategy to direct democracy.
A binding public referendum for a constitutional change to entrench our fundamental rights and freedoms and the transition of decision making to “direct democracy” to return power to the people.
“The battle lines are clear,” says Sue Grey. “We want to take power away from Wellington and return it to where it belongs: to the people of New Zealand.”

Great!!
Now there’s a movement worth supporting, following and voting for.
The fake democracy uni-parties need to be shown the door, and kicked out of it.
We didn’t have a choice we could only slightly modify our name, that’s how it goes or it’s a new party a new name its very complex … We are doing a lot of work into how a NZ form of Direct Democracy would work …. We are working hard on Sue Grey for WC Tasman and the Party Vote .. with a couple of other regional candidates. We are building an awesome group of list MPs to carry out the Direct Democracy push once we get in .. The more vote we get the higher our chances of pushing through a binding referendum to change our system to direct democracy ealier.. It won’t be easy but we know the system needs to change to stop the spiral downward.
The name is actually very good, apart from being formed from the old party name it will look good on the ballot paper and should appeal to the people struggling for something to vote for.
Who wouldn’t want to vote for freedom?
It is the entrenched thinking you’re up against. All those people programmed to think fake democracy uni-parties is the only system. Are you able to produce information about how the Swiss operate their democracy and get it disseminated? (as supporting information – not the main course).
How about TTPoop? `Take the politics out of politics`
Sounds fantastic, unfortunately your biggest hurdle will be the stupidity of the average Kiwi voter. The voter who mistakes polls for serious statistical data, who wont try a new party in case they don’t get 5% of the vote, whilst ignoring the obvious fact they wont ever get 5%, if no one takes a chance on them. Then whinges and complains for the next 3 years here on this site and elsewhere, because they voted and got “more of the same”.
I’m going to give you a go because I’ve tried many of the rest and I wont be voting for “more of the same”. Wont be fooled by NZF’s claims of opposing National after being in bed with them for this whole term, or ACT’s claim to suddenly care about Digital ID’s and the like, after years of silence and moreover supporting Labour’s authoritarian COVID regime.
BTW: Not sure “Freedom” is a great name. It sounds like a furniture company or brand of incontinence pants. Why not “Reform NZ’? After all, that’s what you are trying to do.
You’d be better off supporting the idea with positivity and spreading the word. It’s very easy to be negative, but that’ll never change anything. As for “Reform NZ” – why tie yourself to English political baggage? It’s those types of fake democracy uni-parties that need to gotten rid of.
Good on them I say, and best wishes for success.
I’d rather be honest and see them attract more votes. Reform works because it tells you what they stand for. Like Farage or hate him, he knows how the gears of politics work.
We couldn’t change the name much so we dropped the word outdoors .. otherwise with a totally new name you become a new party .. freedom better represents whi we are but that is stull the freedom in our outdoors.. all core values are same but we are leading with direct democracy .. in the end parties will be irrelevant 🤪 and politicians would be greatly reduced to administrators voted in locally to carry put the will of the people
Got my vote. I trust Sue Grey.
She represented me in court during the convid scamdemic after being arrested for lawful and legitimate protest against the jabbing of the 12 and under kids.
When the corrupt cops saw her in court they dropped all charges as they knew their arrest was unlawful.
Was any of your post true?
Are any of them, bend the knee Zionist? If so, dont vote for them. Zion is anti Jesus, its Lucifer…… Main 3x Parties are Zionist Controled..as ALL OF FEYS Countries are…..
O&FP / ‘Freedom’ does not address a 1% tax like the New Zealand Loyal Party does.
I see NO mention of restoring Firearms Rights.
I see NO mention of refurbishing the Marsden Point Refinery for energy self-sufficiency.
I see NO mention of self-defence laws ie ‘Stand Your Ground’ & “Castle Laws’ being enshrined.
I see NO mention of their policies pertaining to Israel.
I see NO mention of ditching the Reserve Bank Usury System and returning control of the currency to the NZ Treasury.
Despite the Swiss Model of government being mentioned, I can see NO methodology to inplement the same, nor do I see any effort or mention of Armed Neutrality as per the Swiss model.
I see NO mention of how education is supposed to work-that is why many now home-school.
I also do not know of any O&FP / Freedom Party officers and candidates currently awaiting a court date for exposing a now verified staged / fake / gay video footage of the Chch Massacre,
They have NO plans to have the perps that caused ruination to New Zealand during Covid who pushed this vaccine onto us without proper testing, and THEY KNEW IT! Those people are still walking around and still in office.
Many of them are Zionists, and supporters of genocidal, war criminal Israel.
Let’s see how the votes cast go against the votes counted in November.
BTW- Kelvyn Alp & Hanna Spier ofthe NZ Loyal Party and Counterspin media are still facing court dates, and the threat of prison for exposing the video before it became illegal under Comrade Ardern, who BTW, no longer lives in New Zealand!
DOE ANYONE ELSE KNOW OF ANY CANDIDATES IN THESE POLITICAL PARTIES WHO ARE BANKRUPT FROM LEGAL FEES, COURT COSTS, AND FACING JAIL TIME FOR EXPOSING A MOSSAD / ZIONIST CONSPIRACY????
No…changing labels and only borrowing a couple of ideas from other populist parties doesn’t cut it…I’ll stay my course and I’ll be voting for the NEW ZEALAND LOYAL PARTY in November.
Besides, RCR does have Zionist J3w$ in it’s ranks.
Any political party where the officers are facing jail time for exposing the truth has my vote!
If the minor parties could band together to support direct democracy and it is successful, all your proposals could be decided by the citizens of the country by a referendum.
That would be a great, and very democratic way to run a country.
Prolonging the party system is simply prolonging the agony.
*****Today’s five star comment! *****
That is a logical argument, way better and solution driven than the divide & conquer paradigm.
The media is the message.. Loyal Freedom. Freedom Loyal. Free Loyal!!
Free Free Free Looooooyal Sovereign and Loyal!
Referendum for all ….and no more betrayal!
Get Dave Dobbyn on the job & he can earn his knighthood. He looks like Kelvyn Alp anyway.
Throw in some common sense and we’d have Free Loyal & Sovereign.
Yes just for once agree with you Tom but sadly everyone wants to play Chief and no one wants to be the Indians. We have seen this time and time again, in NZ politics and elsewhere in the world.
I don’t expect you to agree with me all the time, although it would be nice if you did. After all, I am always right. I’m sure you’d agree.
I personally don’t see how a one percent transaction tax will do anything other than defund most government departments.
If anything we need more tax – that is evenly applied to society – to sort this country out.
Everything health, should be paid for with taxes – ambulances, mental health services, dental, helicopters etc
The ministry of works should be brought back to run infrastructure. They said back when things changed, that private business could do it cheaper and better. It has been shown to be a massive rort.
Can’t see those things happening with a one percent transaction tax.
No one anywhere in history has ever taxed themselves into prosperity.
They squeeze us for far too much already as it is, giving them more will only beget MORE fraud, waste and abuse.
Everything worked better in the past when taxes were substantially less. Why?
Because we were a country of 3 million and now we’re a country of nearly 6 million.
Too many people being brought in. Same problem happening everywhere across the west. Wages go down, rent and everything else goes up. They know this well, and they keep pushing for more and more.
They shouldn’t be rewarded for their treachery.
The scandinavian countries may beg to differ. They are consistently the happiest in worldwide surveys, and quite prosperous
No, we DON’T need ‘more tax’…if anything, in order to catch up with Treasury deficits, a 3% transaction tax would do fine with a surplus that would pay for Healthcare, Infrastructure upgrades, and restoration of benefits for the elderly’s GRI, the chronically ill, the autistic, and the youth rate!
That’s why I’m voting for the New Zealand Loyal Party that NZ Loyal Party Voter 2023 / 2026 outlined above!
NEVER vote for a country’s leader unless they have been to jail or face the threat of the same!
Jesus went to jail, the 12 Apostles went to jail, *Nelson Mandela went to jail, (who stated that one does not truly know a nation until one has passed thru it’s prison system…) MLK went to jail, Malcom X went to jail, Congressman Jim Traficant went to jail, Congressman George Hanson went to jail,…ALL were exposing truths that the PTB of their time sought to oppress via jail terms or executions!
The other methodology- just follow the money trails…
There is no way a 3% transaction tax will be enough to run the country and fix the problems that we have.
Show me the workings if you think it can.
What is the total amount of transactions?
Like we are not paying a ton of tax already and getting sweet fuck all in return? In Australia the average worker earns more than the average New Zealander. The first 15K or more (there is some variation) in AU is tax free. I have run the numbers, an average person is a little better of there than here. GST is 10% and only applied to some things, not necessarily non processed either. On the flip side you pay CGT at 25% on rentals and state stamp duty on the purchase of a home, which is not insignificant. That said, capital gain in my experience is better and if you keep the home for around 10 years, the stamp duty tends to wash up, if I’m making sense. Rates are typically a LOT lower than New Zealand. A 1.6M AUD house in Adeliade, rates are around $2500 AUD per year. A 1.5M home in Wellington $11,000 NZD per year.
Cancer is 5 times more survivable in Australia than NZ and most hospitals have to report if wait times exceed four hours. I waited 6 hours in our local hospital with my wife here in NZ.
My point is there is plenty of tax money collected already. Whale songs for trees seems like an odd place to dump tens of thousands of tax payer dollars. Perhaps healthcare might be a better choice? Suffice to say its not how much you pay, its who is spending it on your behalf. A better solution would be a two tier system like Australia where you go private once you reach a certain earning threshold with incentives from the government to compensate you, in part.
The vast majority of income tax is spent in health, education and welfare. And, it is not enough to properly fund health, welfare and infrastructure that the country needs.
Comparisons to Australia don’t mean jack when we have to play catchup. Same deal with Wellington (and other councils) passing the buck on water/sewerage spending
Pay 4 ur own sh^t, the rest should be charity.
That would all come under the citizens initiated referendum.
👏🏼👏🏼
You win the prize for the most absurd and bizarre post on this website in some time.
🤣🤫
Be VERY careful with direct democracy is all I’m saying.
It may sound great on paper, but think back just a few years when many of your fellow kiwis wanted you fired, locked up and removed from your children if you wouldn’t wear a mask or refused their poison injections.
Keep in mind also that the Luxon wave of “new westerners” heading here from next year will also have a vote under our porous immigration system. I sincerely doubt they will vote against their own interests.
Some great points but what’s the alternative? More of a small group of people serving their own interests and those of their wealthy sponsors?
I wasn’t going to vote at all……this may be the change that deserves my vote
What will the influence of the other parties be on freedomkiwi under the mmp system. More so what will the influence of the global WEF etc (cabal) be. Will any party be able to effect change with the pressure from the off shore rulers
I was always going to vote NZOFP and its a great idea to change the name to FREEDOM. Just a word of minor advice – you’re being far too nice. To capture 6% of the vote, you need to annoy the other 94%. If you don’t want that 90% of voters voting for you, your election strategy over the next 3 months is to seriously piss off that 90%. Make them seriously complain and constipate about freedom. This is much easier than saying please please please vote for us. Focus instead on pissing off the other 90%
And you need to piss Winston off (and pinch his votes) by accusing Winston of abandoning the freedom community and those injured by the toxic jabs – make it all Winston’s fault.
Now it’s been announced that Paul Henry is running for office on the ACT Party Ticket.
ACT is a closet Zionist-supporting party, & the below seems to add credence to this conspiratorial concept;
(From several A.I. searches…)
Based on my search results, Paul Henry has Jewish ancestry but is not religiously Jewish.
Here’s what the information shows:
Family background: Paul Henry’s mother was a Jewish refugee who escaped Nazi-era Europe. This gives him Jewish ancestry through his maternal line. (same as John Key and Paul Henry…)
Personal belief: Despite this heritage, Henry was raised in a largely secular household and has publicly stated that he does not practice Judaism and considers himself *non-religious. (*on appearance).
Birthplace: He was born in Bristol, England (August 4, 1960) and moved to New Zealand when he was 19 years old.
So the answer depends on how you define “Jewish” – ethnically/hereditarily, yes, he has Jewish ancestry through his mother. Religiously or culturally, no, he does not identify as Jewish and considers himself non-religious.
Is David Seymour of New Zealand Jewish?
Based on my search results, the situation regarding David Seymour (leader of the ACT Party and current Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand) appears somewhat similar to Paul Henry’s case:
Mixed heritage background:
According to the synthesized search summary, Seymour has Jewish ancestry on his father’s side and Māori ancestry (through Ngāti Rēhia) on his mother’s side, along with broader European (Pākehā) heritage.
However, I should note that the specific claim about Jewish ancestry appeared only in the summarized answer, and I wasn’t able to find it explicitly confirmed in the individual source snippets. The search results did more readily confirm his Māori heritage claims (which have themselves been subject to some controversy, with a hapū publicly disputing his connection to Ngāti Rēhia).
Religion:
Seymour describes himself as *non-religious and does not practice any religion. (*Like John Key & Paul Henry)
So, as with Paul Henry, the answer depends on definition: there may be Jewish ancestry on his father’s side, but he does not identify as Jewish religiously or culturally. That said, I’d recommend checking a reliable biographical source like his Wikipedia page for further confirmation of the Jewish ancestry claim, as the evidence I found was not strongly corroborated across multiple sources.
They are also very good at deception, like it’s in their blood, eh.
TomOfTheWoods – raises a point I also have been wondering myself, if the primary objective is to stop the globalist advancement in NZ (regardless of what “bad actor/ group/ country” you prescribe such machinations to); pragmatically shouldn’t all reform groups side-line individual policies (for now) and simply try (diplomatically) to get past the 5% vote mark through consolidating support? . Wouldn’t this be the most immediate, and effective thing to do to draw attention that globalism in NZ is a real concern people want to address… Hell dare to dream that NZFrist, could put NZ first and try to consolidate these votes too.
NZ government are made of socialist retards. Suck the lot of them. Private enterprise again, equal under God. Make communities great again.
