Concerned people are joining us every day. Help us build a free & Environmentally attractive country for the future.

Making Our Outdoors & Communities The Heart Of A Free New Zealand

Our seas, our rivers, our lakes, our beaches, our land all belong to the people of New Zealand. Our access and enjoyment of our natural environment is a given; it’s part of our heritage, our culture, our way of life. Our unique outdoor environment has provided food, recreation and social benefit for generations and it should continue to do so, forever, without question, without compromise. Local people and local communities looking after themselves instead of central government knowing what is right for the regions. Local markets, local business and local jobs.

The OUTDOORS & FREEDOM PARTY promotes:

  • democracy where people play an active role in decision making, knowing their views are valued and will be listened to.
  • freedom from excessive government and international interference in the lives of New Zealanders’;
  • more self-sufficiency for New Zealand and New Zealanders’,
  • better care of our water, land, soil, wildlife and of our people.
  • natural and organic regenerative approaches to agriculture to promote community wellbeing and thriving rural communities and local businesses.
  • transparent representation and informed decision making which will promote a long-term vision for protecting and promoting the interests of all New Zealanders, our children and grandchildren.

Our Vision

We want our communities to live in a free society that is self-reliant and resilient, to have access to nutritious food, where reliance on poisons and sprays is eliminated, where we choose to build, make and repair, rather than buy then bury in landfill and where life-long learning is the norm.

  • A free society where growing, catching, hunting and harvesting our own food is valued and respected.
  • A vibrant agricultural economy that encourages small scale, high value, low input practices. Farming that improves profitability and protects our freshwater, biodiversity and soil health.
  • A free society that values its natural resources and uses them sparingly, respectful of nature’s equal demand on them.
  • A society where we can share our knowledge, tools and resources and where we re-use, repurpose, recycle and eliminate waste.
  • A society where freedom, health, happiness and compassion are our measures for success.
  • And, a society where how we live, not regulations, will mitigate climate change.

In short, to create a country where we are admired by the world not just because of our wonderful natural environment, but because of the way we live. A way of life that protects and enhances that environment.

Our Freshwater

Our rivers and lakes should be kept clean, full and in a natural state for the people to enjoy and gather food.

  • Keep freshwater fresh.
  • Keep our rivers and lakes full.
  • Protect the natural character and life of waterbodies.
  • Water belongs to us and is not for sale.
  • Our bottom line – excellent aquatic health.

Our Marine Fisheries

Recreational anglers, not trawlers, enjoying and managing our inshore fisheries for abundance.

  • No more trawling of our coastal fisheries.
  • Stop wasteful commercial practices.
  • Promote marine abundance and diversity.
  • Recognise the value of recreational fishing.
  • Inshore fisheries co-managed by recreational fishers.

Our Land

We want public land with enduring and practical public access, protection from development, forward-looking conservation strategies and constructive game animal management.

  • Game animals managed by hunters.
  • Cease aerial toxins, stop poisoning our food basket.
  • Protect and expand the public conservation estate and our wild places.
  • Low impact, high value agricultural production.

Our Future, Our Say

We want our citizens and residents to have a much greater say in our future:

  • Determine limits on tourist numbers.
  • Establish environmental limits to economic growth.
  • Our population – how big do we want to be?
  • How best to preserve our culture and values.
  • Focus on quality, not quantity in everything we do.
