We all want to live in a country where decisions are made openly, fairly and in the best interests of everyone. By strengthening protections for transparency, balance and accountability we can build greater trust in government and ensure all voices are heard – not just the most powerful.
Lobbying plays a legitimate role in democracy, but without clear regulations – like those used in most other OECD countries – hidden influence and unfair advantages can shape policies in ways that don’t serve the public good. It’s time to fix this together.
We need voices from across Aotearoa – business and community leaders, advocates, policy experts and everyday people – to help shape a system that works for everyone.
Join us to learn about our plan to bring New Zealand into line with international best practice and protect the integrity of public decision making.
Together, we can create a more open, balanced, and equitable future for Aotearoa.
The speakers at our launch were:
- Helen Clark – Patron, The Helen Clark Foundation
- Christopher Finlayson – KC Bankside Chambers
- Anne Tolley – Chair Transparency International NZ
- Moana Tuwhare -GM Ngāpuhi (TBC)
