Advance New Zealand

I am standing for election to inspire mothers and fathers to be change-makers, whistleblowers, truth-seekers and fearless disruptors, especially in the field of health and wellbeing for our children. I'm appalled at the way the current government has ridden roughshod over our rights and freedoms - particularly via the egregious Covid-19 Act and related legislation. I'm also passionate about medical freedom - the right to choose what we put in our bodies and what goes into our children's bodies.

I was brought up on a farm in Taranaki and have worked as a lawyer and patent attorney, owned small businesses, and am mum to Dominic (9). I'm new to politics, but not new to standing up for what I believe in, especially true wellbeing and lower tox living for people and their families via my blog Dom's Kitchen. The monopolisation of information and misrepresentations made by those in positions of trust and authority (especially big food and big pharma) is alarming. We all need to step up and take action.

I am a proud Kiwi and would like to give back to this beautiful country I have called home for twenty of my best years.

I am a qualified teacher with decades of experience teaching students in multiple countries and setting them up for a successful and enjoyable life. Formerly a Justice of Peace, I have had the opportunity to assist people and listened to their concerns. As secretary of the Balmoral Indian temple, I have supported various community activities to help minorities, elderly, unemployed, children and many more.

For too long New Zealand has been sold out to offshore investors by career politicians, who care more about their careers than they do about their local communities. New Zealand is a unique slice of paradise that should be treated as such. Her people should be free to enjoy all she has to offer without the dictates of undemocratic commitments made by the current and previous governments. The mechanisms of the New Zealand political system need restructuring. I am committed to this cause.

Born and raised in Nelson, I have spent much of my adult life in the helping professions: ministry, counselling, coaching, consultancy and professional supervision. I pride myself in understanding the way people do things and why they do these things. This interpersonal dynamics approach is rarely factored into today's politics. I believe that if each person did so, we would all be living in a better world, so each day, regardless of what it is I am doing, I take on that challenge.

My wife and I spent several years from our late teens, to raising a young family in the electorate. I worked and played sport locally. Advance NZ is a party with probably the strongest and most experienced housing and building construction team of any party. We know how to see houses built, within smart urban planning. Our party will see every Kiwi family being able to purchase their own home.

My wife and I have four adult children and six grandchildren we are proud of. We have been involved in community work, and aid projects to the Islands for many years. I chair the board of a national youth organisation dealing with an initiative called “A Hand of Hope – A reason to Live”, addressing youth suicide. I have broad experience in housing construction (NZCB), developments, project management, mortgage advisory (RFA), and other business activity. I have a Post Grad Dip in Secondary Teaching and have trained apprentices, and tutored architectural students at tertiary level.

If Covid-19 has taught me anything, it is that the government can make systemic change (across all sectors) instantaneously. So why then has there been 'no significant change' in material hardship rates since 2017? Why are our children not a priority? I recently attended a child protection workshop, where I asked how I could create real change. The answer was to continue to lobby the government. I am running to ensure our children have a voice in parliament.

I am a wife, a mother of two and have a degree in Education. I was born and raised in Gisborne, where I now raise my own family. I stand for normal everyday citizens who have had enough of the lies, lack of transparency and continued destruction of our human rights and democratic freedoms. Real and systemic change is needed. No more using a band-aid approach when it comes to our people, especially our children.

New Zealand's bright future has been severely undermined by poor decisions made by successive governments over decades. We now find ourselves with crippling debt, loss of sovereignty, eroded democratic rights and a growing dependence on China. Advance NZ is a very new party with new and innovative policies, expertise and boundless energy to help NZ refocus and reduce sovereign debt. We must apply new solutions to our current social, economic and security challenges.

I am passionate about helping people find solutions and pathways to living healthy and productive lives. I have been involved in various voluntary community, fundraising and charitable roles throughout my life. In 2018 I established the BreakFree Foundation - a charitable trust aimed at developing and supporting new initiatives in the areas of community wellness. I believe with less centralized government control local communities will be able to implement local solutions for local problems.

I believe New Zealand has an historic opportunity to advance its political system beyond MMP to direct democracy where, as practiced in Switzerland, the voters have an ongoing control of their Parliament. Once Kiwis adopt direct democracy we will gain control of our sovereignty to better manage the government of our society.

I am a fifth generation Kiwi, a father who stands for family-friendly policies that strengthen our communities. I offer NZ the hard-won insights from 25 years experience living overseas in Asia, Europe, Australia and the USA. Educated to Masters degree level, have hands-on experience in business, technology, social and cultural change, education and management. Active in community groups, in 1978 I was on the front-line to save Pureora forest. I live by Christian values.

I am passionate about combining sensible solutions with caring about each other, our environment and our future, without selling out to foreign interests. Our country should be prosperous. We have the resources, we just need a good management!

I am a third generation New Zealander. I have a diverse background; I have the experience of working on a large scale. As a detoxification specialist I established a program that now spans the entire Commonwealth of Independent States (Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and former USSR). I have also worked many years as a self-employed tradesman and company owner. I have a strong interest in national and international politics with a finely-tuned ability to forecast outcomes.

It is supposed to be government for the people not government on the people. Both of the large parties have moved so far left that socialism, if not communism, is now being implemented. Farmers, small business, and workers are all being strangled by bureaucratic laws being passed in the middle of the night by idiots, most of whom have never worked in a real job.

I am a no-nonsense campaigner against government bureaucracies and overbearing institutions. I've successfully challenged major insurance companies (IAG hunger strike), banks, and government departments for unfair/unethical practices. I come from a solid farming background and worked hard to succeed in other business ventures as well. Together my wife of 50 years and I grew our local appliance repair business into an international US based company. I feel NZ can use my help to reset values.

I feel strongly that we need better resources to support our people for a bright future for New Zealand.

I studied psychology and criminology, with the goal of working in a field where I could help people. During my study I did voluntary work in child protection and domestic violence cases over a two year period. I completed my degree and went on to work in mental health. Over the last three years I have stayed at home to raise my two children and involved myself in my local playcentre. Concern about the future of New Zealand has brought me into the political arena.

The erosion of personal sovereignty and the increase of bureaucracy over time, and the overreach of the current government under the guise of Covid-19 (which is a framework for tyranny), was my call to action. I want to see real democracy return to the people; have a government that works in the best interest of Kiwis and our country, and it's resources. We are a very capable and clever people, who could easily be self sustaining and thriving given the opportunity and the right support.

I'm best described as pragmatic, patient and solutions driven with an ability to think outside the square. These natural qualities I possess will be utilised in helping serve the constituents. I am not a career politician but an everyday Kiwi with a background in IT who wants all to prosper and I intend to implement solutions to issues: unaffordable houses, red-tape for farmers, struggling small businesses, unemployment, unreliable public transport, disillusioned youths, animal abuse.

I believe New Zealand is the best country in the world but the management of this nation over the last decades has not been for the nation's best interest. The tragic and devastating decisions over the last months has motivated me to support a peoples movement that started during the first lockdown in March 2020. What has evolved over the last few months is a party that can reclaim NZ for all the people. A country where our children and grandchildren can enjoy a better place than what we know.

My father is Welsh and mother Cook Islander. I currently work for a tier 1 construction company, Mt Wellington Highway, for the past 10 years. We build wonderful infrastructure for NZ and the Pacific Islands. I bring that expectation of delivery of outcomes to benefit the people of this electorate, where the present & previous governments have failed. Starting as a fitter and turner at Devonport dockyard, 12 years in the UK and France, returning to be a carer for my father with Parkinson's disease.

I believe as a country we deserve results, not more red tape and systems/procedures/wasted money. I have worked for 25 years in the health and education sector as a specialist. I'm tired of promises that do not lead to grass roots services and real support for individuals, families, and communities. More important than ever in this current crisis, we need to protect people, and reinstate their voice. I believe that power/change should come from the ground up, not from government down.

As a specialist health and education professional for over 25 years, I have pushed the mandate for more local control, common sense, and respect for all people. I believe that every New Zealander deserves the right to the best possible opportunities in life. We are a resource abundant country and every kiwi should be able to prosper here. I am committed to providing more holistic, high quality, and unbiased services within NZ. I am born and raised in this area, and currently living in Orewa.

As the days go by and as we get closer and closer to this election I am more and more convinced that we have not had access to the truth. I believe this government has withheld crucial information from us. I stand for truth, transparency and accountability. It has come to it that regular working class people like me need to stand up and demand accountability.

I will never be a slick career politician but I will stick my neck out to stand up for and defend what is good and wholesome. I packed up and left the UK because of the way the country was going. That same greedy corrupt energy is now looking to feed from our shores and from our land here in NZ and I will stand strong against it. I ask you to stand with me, this is the struggle of our generation and we must stand together and we must stand strong.

2017-18 were years I spent in geopolitical research published in 'We Are Revolting', about the determiners causing sovereign nations to adopt world governance. NZ's way of life is being stolen by unelected global private-public partnerships acting as a shadow government. We should have the right of free movement, and free speech. NZ needs a real Bill of Rights, people's constitution and a government constitution that keeps future governments from overreach. I am standing to secure a free future.

30 years married and having home educated our six children, has given me a keen sense of fairness, commitment and love for autonomy. I have leadership experience in medical microbiology, cancer research and ECE tertiary tutoring. I am a research/writer building a tiny house. Taupō electorate was my second home until finally settling here in 2007. I run a micro-farm with off grid practices, moving towards self-sufficiency and delight in off grid food preservation supporting a healthy immune system.

I believe we are at a crucial time in history where technology and corporate power is gaining unwieldy control over our lives and am standing for protection of our bill of human rights. Our freedom of movement and expression Is under attack on a global scale and humans need to stand up and show solidarity to mitigate global corporatist influence over our lives. I believe the best solutions come from within our communities, not NGOs or foreign organisations that seek to control our activities.

I was born and bred in Petone and have spent many years living rurally in the South Island before returning to Wellington. I have a deep love for the land and believe that clean water and healthy soil are our greatest natural resources. I'm a fan of reinvigorating our forestry plan with exotic timber plantation that does not involve clear felling. I am not a fan of centralisation and believe strongly that our regions have the ability to solve most of the local issues they face.

I am concerned that we are losing our democratic rights in this country right now. New Zealanders have had enough of politicians pursuing their own personal agendas, what we want is transparent stewardship of this country by honest people who put the country first. It's time for change. It's time for the people to take this country back.

I was born and raised in St Albans. I own two small businesses in Christchurch. I am a Chartered Accountant and work with small and start-up businesses. In Government in Wellington I have worked in education at the Te Kohanga Reo National Trust and the Ministry of Education. In the community I have worked with the homeless, the disabled, fostered children and provided financial education and budgeting support to women.

I'm running as a candidate because I'm very concerned where the present government is taking us, from a democratic sovereign country we grew up in with rights and freedoms into a fear-based totalitarian state. I stand for my children, their children and for their freedom.

I've lived in our community for the past 10 years, where I live with my partner. I have three sons and three grandsons. I have a wealth of experience in business management having been a company owner for many years. Additionally I've held roles in finance, admin, operations, logistics and sales. I facilitate a mental health support group in Tauranga.

I am running for parliament in the 2020 election as the Advance NZ candidate because I am disillusioned with the direction the present government is taking us, from a democratic country we grew up in, with freedoms and personal sovereignty. I feel if I don't do something about the disillusionment of people in this country, then what may be left for my children. I don't want them left with a feeling of division, and reality of debt. Not even able to own their own home or have a job to pay for it.

I am a born and bred Southlander and have I've lived in our community my whole life and have a wealth of experience in management in the retail, hospitality and food industry. Owning my own small businesses. at one stage, I'm not a politician, nor am I politically correct, but I'm genuine and a realist who cares for my family and Aotearoa, I have been interested in the geo-political landscape for the past 32 years. I have 2 Beautiful teenage daughters and enjoy the simple things in life.

NZ needs a different kind of politics or we are going to lose this great country. I'm not a politician, but our country needs ordinary Kiwis to stand up right now and get things back how they need to be.

I'm a man of the land in NZ. A sheep shearer for more then 30 years, and shearing instructor, and also experienced with orchard management. Now I want to use that real life experience to work for and help the people of Taieri and NZ, to turn this thing around.
