Whistleblower photos allege stolen ballots in Manurewa election

A whistleblower has sent photos to Auckland Council and the Serious Fraud Office alleging bundles of ballot papers were stolen from letterboxes during last year’s Manurewa Local Board election.

The papers were then taken to an office, filled out for certain candidates, resealed and posted to the electoral officer. Police and Election Services have been alerted to the allegations, and the council is seeking police advice.



Manurewa Local Board member Raewyn Bhana has called for a full investigation and perhaps a fresh election. In March, an election in neighbouring Papatoetoe was corrupted by votes fraudulently cast on stolen ballot papers. Read more at Scoop.co.nzNZ Herald (paywalled) and Stuff.

    • The typical smells and scents that are now prominent in NZ;
      1. KFC
      2. Burger King
      3. Maccas
      4. Curries, mostly in the residential rental market areas….
      5. The gasses that eminate from the Wasp Nest!

  1. Tip of the iceberg when it comes voter fraud in this country.

    What about some meat and bones when it comes to big picture how they mass invasion uncompatible foreign forces to enforce global agenda.

    Voter fraud charges could then be upgraded to treason.

    I’m just saying. Normies are rapidly waking up now.

  2. Remember the idea of those who vote- that after voting their party of choice should then take a sworn affidavit from the voter attesting to the fact that they did indeed vote for the party of their choice, and then the votes had better match the number of affidavits!
    Political parties do NOT need to be lazy this (s)el-ection! Make the extra effort tosecure a just and proper vote count!

    “Those who cast the votes decide nothing…those who count the votes decide everything!” – *Joseph Stalin
    (*REAL J3wi$h name; Iosif Vissarionivich Dzhugashvili – a petty criminal & burgglar before entering poliTICKS!)

    I wonder IF the same PTB modus operandi also didn’t happen in the Tamaki Makaurau (s)el-ection: that is the (s)el-ection that Kelvyn Alp from the NZ Loyal Party contested…

    On yesterday’s Q&A, Jack Tame really tore into the Opportunity Party ‘leader’..and for good reason!
    You can read about how dangerous the Opportunity Party is below….

    This is who Wong worked for prior to becoming the ‘leader’ of the Opportunity Party;

    Qiulae “Q” Wong
    Full Name: Qiulae Wong (pronounced /ˈkjuː.leɪ/), commonly known as “Q”

    Background:

    Born: May 1988 in Fiji; holds New Zealand citizenship
    Education: University of Auckland
    Career: Previously worked at KPMG New Zealand (as Associate Director) and served as director of the New Zealand branch of B-Lab (an organization certifying benefit corporations focused on social and environmental impact)

    Political Role:

    Current Position: Leader of The Opportunity Party (TOP) since November 2025
    Deputy Leader: Daniel Eb
    Electorate: Contesting Mt. Albert seat

    The initial founder of the Opportunity Party was ‘economist’ Gareth Morgan, who wanted to eliminate all cats from NZ…
    What Happened in 2013

    Gareth Morgan’s Proposal:

    In 2013, economist and philanthropist Gareth Morgan publicly called for the eradication of domestic and feral cats from New Zealand
    Through his Morgan Foundation, he promoted this campaign arguing that free-roaming cats were responsible for the extinction of nine native bird species and were threatening approximately 33 more native species
    He urged cat owners to neuter their pets (“desex”) and advocated for a coordinated trap-neuter-release program aimed at eliminating feral cat populations
    He famously referred to cats as “killer balls of fluff”

    Public Reaction:

    The proposal sparked significant public backlash and anger from cat lovers across New Zealand
    Nearly half of New Zealand households have cats, making New Zealanders among the world’s biggest cat owners
    The campaign generated intense debate about balancing wildlife conservation with pet ownership rights

    Opportunity Party Clarification

    Later clarification from The Opportunity Party indicated:

    The party itself never had an official policy to kill all cats
    Their position was refined to support the removal/eradication of feral cats specifically rather than a blanket ban on all pet cats
    Morgan’s stance remained more extreme than the eventual party platform

    ANY POLITICIAN OR APPOINTED ‘LEADER’ WHO DELIBERATELY KILLS ANIMALS OR CALLS FOR THE SAME, AND ABUSES THE SAME WILL EVENTUALLY KILL HUMANS.!! This is a noteworthy behaviour pattern of serial killers, psychopaths, and politicians!
    Compare this to the below;

    This November, VOTE FOR THE NEW ZEALAND LOYAL PARTY!

  3. The Opportunity Party will Tax everybody off their land
    One estimate for a house in Auckland was $13,000
    You will Own nothing and be very pissed off

  4. The Mainstream media tell everyone this year is different you have to register to enroll before you can vote what about the people that don’t enroll or vote next minute somebody else registers them behind closed doors for a particular party with out there knowledge or any oversight to push out the smaller parties 🥳
