Funding the application for, and promotion of, a CIR to give effect to the TPB Bill Referendum NZ government rejected in April 2025

Nationwide

On 10 April, 2025, The NZ Parliament failed to pass the "Treaty Principles Bill" (TPB) which sought to confirm NZ citizens as equals under NZ law. This was disappointing to many Kiwis. It is the goal of this page to get a NZ Citizens Initiated Referendum running which declares all New Zealanders to be equal under the law, so that "equality" can be more than a cliche in NZ.

Sadly democracy is not free in NZ, and the application fee is $604.10 .

Use of funds

The initial NZD$604.10 is sought to cover the cost of the Citizens Initiated Referendum Application to make a referendum similar to that which was proposed by the Treaty Principles Bill. Any excess funds will go towards promoting the petition.

Suggested wording: "We want NZ Laws and government policy to reflect the view that all NZ citizens are to be regarded as equal, and treated as equals. We must all have the same rights and privileges, regardless of race, ethnicity or creed. We want all laws and government policies in New Zealand to reflect this viewpoint, and any race based preferences and anomalies removed from NZ law and policy. If you want all these three things, please answer "YES", otherwise answer "NO"
