Nurses Collective NZ challenges election candidates over Covid response

Nurses Collective NZ

The Nurses Collective NZ has issued an Open Letter to all political parties and candidates contesting the 2026 General Election, calling for public commitments on how New Zealand would respond to future health emergencies.

In the Open Letter the group says many nurses, doctors, paramedics, midwives, healthcare assistants and other frontline workers continue to live with the effects of decisions made during the Covid-19 pandemic, including the loss of employment, restrictions on rights, and diminished trust in the health system.

The letter asks parties to address four key areas: safeguards to prevent emergency powers from overriding fundamental rights without accountability; how they would respond to the dismissal, coercion and loss of livelihoods experienced by some healthcare workers; measures to rebuild confidence in the health system and ensure clinicians are involved in future emergency planning; and commitments to transparent, evidence-based public communication during future crises.



The Nurses Collective says its request is focused on future preparedness rather than revisiting past decisions, arguing that communities and clinicians deserve clear answers from those seeking public office. The organisation has asked all parties and candidates to publicly respond to the issues raised ahead of the election.

  1. Did they forget that there was a two tier system in place and some were given an exemption for the vaccine while others were terminated.

  2. Good job! Never let these swine forget what they did or applauded. No bureaucrat in a tiny elected party should be able to override peoples rights as they did ever again.

  3. They will say anything to get into power but once they get their big bums ensconced in those big comfortable seats they will do what they are told to do by their globalist masters.
    We all saw what they did last time. The whole lot. Labour, National, Greens, Te pati Maori. And ACT as well. Fools they are who think David Seymour will be any different. All of them, looking out the Beehive windows down at the protestors, turning the sprinklers on them, siccing the police on them. Simply because the people wanted to have the choice of taking an experimental injection or refusing it. When the whole of parliament had given themselves a blanket exemption. We all know if there had been a genuine pandemic the MPs would have been the first to commandeer the injections.
    And those two grotesqueries Ardern and Hipkins acting out their little injection theatre on youtube.
    I wouldn’t vote for any of them. That is the only way to get rid of the lot.

  4. The fake democracy uni-party does not consult with anyone except their globalist overlords who dictate the decisions. The fake democracy uni-party does not make the decisions and no one like the nurses collective (or any other collective, group or individual in the country) can have any impact.
    The only solution is to change the system. The era of the fake democracy uni-party needs to end and be replaced by direct democracy. Let the citizens and voters make the decisions via regular referendums. The current fake democracy uni-party system has proven it is not fit for purpose.

  5. The Nurses Collective needs to endorse and vote for the New Zealand Loyal Party for the below reasons-

    New Zealand Loyal – Health Policy

    Restoring New Zealand’s Health, Wellness, and Sovereignty

    New Zealand’s healthcare system has been compromised by corrupt practices, mismanagement, and a focus on illness maintenance rather than prevention and cure. NZ Loyal is committed to restoring our healthcare system, promoting transparency and accountability, and empowering New Zealanders to take control of their physical and mental health.

    The Problem

    Our current healthcare system:

    Prioritizes pharmaceutical interests over natural health remedies
    Suppresses effective cures and treatments
    Fosters a culture of fear and dependency on medication
    Ignores the impact of environmental toxins on human health
    Overlooks the importance of mental health and wellness

    Solutions

    1. Mental Health and Wellness: NZ Loyal will prioritize mental health support, recognizing the importance of emotional and psychological well-being. This includes increasing funding for mental health services, reducing wait times, and promoting community-based initiatives.

    2. Decentralize Healthcare: Community clinics and hospitals will be established in provincial areas, providing accessible and personalized healthcare.

    3. Integrate Alternative Health Options: All alternative health practices will be considered and made available, ensuring freedom of choice for New Zealanders.

    4. Remove Pharmaceutical Influence: The healthcare system will be freed from the grip of big pharma, ensuring that medical decisions are made in the best interests of patients, not corporate profits. The theoretical basis of mental health care education and training will be switched from the outdated chemical imbalance model to the modern trauma–genic neurodevelopmental model.

    5. Position New Zealand as Mental Health Leader: Ensure that New Zealand scientific researchers and industry are positioned to take advantage of the next generation of psychiatric medicines, in particular psilocybin, MDMA and cannabinoids.

    6. Investigate and Prosecute Crimes: Those responsible for the Covid-19 response, including the disastrous jab rollout, will be held accountable through investigations, prosecutions, and asset-stripping. This includes government officials, health experts, and pharmaceutical companies.

    7. Establish a New Health Framework: A new health framework will prioritize prevention, natural health remedies, patient-centred care, and mental health support.

    8. Environmental Health: We will address the impact of environmental toxins on human health, including the removal of fluoride from water supplies, the ban of 1080 poisoning, and the promotion of organic farming practices.

    9. Transparency and Accountability: All healthcare decisions will be transparent, with clear accountability mechanisms in place. This includes the establishment of an independent health watchdog, responsible for monitoring and investigating healthcare complaints.

    A New Era for New Zealand’s Health

    NZ Loyal is committed to creating a healthcare system that truly serves the people. We will:

    Empower New Zealanders to take control of their physical and mental health
    Foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and integrity
    Promote natural health remedies, prevention, and patient-centred care
    Protect our environment and recognize its impact on human health
    Hold all accountable for disastrous health outcomes, including the Covid-19 response

    Withdrawal from the World Health Organisation
    New Zealand will withdraw from the World Health Organisation, rejecting international dictates that compromise our sovereignty and the health of our people.

    Conclusion
    NZ Loyal’s health policy is built on the principles of transparency, accountability, and empowerment. We will restore New Zealand’s healthcare system, prioritize mental health and wellness, and ensure that our people have access to effective, safe, and affordable healthcare. We will hold all accountable for disastrous health outcomes and promote a culture of wellness, prevention, and patient-centred care.

  6. Too polite.

    The degenerates that facilitated this scam are now bolder than ever, running for office, congratulating themselves on a visionary strategy of lockdown and fascism.

    This message will be ignored.

  7. Remember the Covid Dancing in hospitals with empty wards?
    Must have been crackers to think that was OK… Union? ummm ahh

  8. NZ had a very comprehensive and well thought out pandemic preparedness plan.
    A plan developed over many years with consulation with experts, WHO, and U.S CDC.
    Which was tossed aside by Jabcinda, after taking advise fro Siouxie, Baker and other so called experts.

  9. Nothing will happen until they spill the beans and whistle blow, they know where the bodies are buried, they also want to protect their Red Queen, Leftisty Women want it all, sorry, start telling,,
