We’re standing up for Kiwi independence by pushing for a citizens-initiated referendum to decide whether New Zealand should remain in the World Health Organization (WHO). This is about protecting our sovereignty and making health decisions that are right for us.
It’s your voice in action. By gathering enough public support, we can force Parliament to debate and take action on this issue, giving everyday New Zealanders a say in our future.
A Citizens Initiated Referendum is different from an online petition. By law, all signatures must be in wet ink, meaning they have to be handwritten with a pen on the official forms we provide. This is to ensure that every signature is verified as coming from a registered voter in New Zealand.
We need 400,000 "wet ink" signatures by 25 November 2025 to get this in front of Parliament. Achieving this will ensure the referendum is taken seriously and the conversation about reclaiming our independence happens at the highest level. This is your chance to make a real difference!
Download the form from the "Sign the Referendum" button. Print it off and get friends and family to sign and return to us.
New Zealand's health policy should be determined by New Zealanders, based on the best available scientific evidence. However, membership in the WHO can compromise national sovereignty and subject New Zealand to international agendas that may not reflect our specific needs and values. The WHO's lack of transparency, potential conflicts of interest, and the influence of political factors on its scientific recommendations raise concerns about its ability to act in New Zealand's best interests.
What if NZ charted its own health course? Explore the potential of independent pandemic responses, customised public health policies, and direct funding allocation.
