Press release from the people to the NZ government

Freedom Convoy Press Release: 10/2/22 - you can listen/watch it here 

This is an accaruate transcription of the Letter read out 10/2/22

To 'Honerable" members of parliament 

Today marks one week since tens of thousands of New Zealanders from all walks of life, ages and ethnicities joined together in a peaceful protest. Those present at parliament have travelled from all over the country to support the protest they have been supported in many different ways by hundreds of thousands of Kiwis.

They are united in condemning the government’s flagrant breach of human rights, deliberate divisiveness, and discrimination. The constant law changes are inconsistent with the government’s duties to the New Zealanders it was elected to represent.

The protest is a result of immense frustration and concern. 
People are outraged by the conduct of government and its lack of respect, dismissive attitude and unwillingness to engage.

The people have travelled from all corners of the country to remind members of parliament of their duties as elected representatives.

It is time for the government to listen. 

It is time for our government to recognise the sovereign rights of New Zealanders. 

This communication summaries the views of the majority of groups present at parliament today:

Those represented are


Convoy 2022 NZ Freedom Alliance

New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science
Outdoors & Freedom Movement
The Freedom and Rights Coalition
Voices for Freedom

All agree that the covid 19 Public Health response Act, and all the orders and mandates laid under that legislation must be revoked immediately. 

Those represented request and urgent meeting with senior cabinet ministers to open dialogue.  The mandates are unnecessary and need to be lifted.

The infection fatality rate of Omicron is lower than the seasonal flu. Prior to the global pandemic it was considered ‘normal’ for 500-700 New Zealanders to die each year from the seasonal flu.

On average, 100 Kiwis die each day from various causes. There needs to be perspective. 

The Traffic Light system, the ‘no jab, no job’ laws and other mandates are discriminatory, not warranted and a breach of fundamental human rights.

New Zealanders, our friends and media from around the world watched in horror at the deplorable and unlawful police conduct towards peaceful protesters including women and children.  This unwarranted and bullying conduct instigated and perpetrated by the speaker. 

Our united request is to reinstate the principals of justice, democracy and respect for human rights, equality, non-discrimination, good governance, and good faith.  

Participates are determined to  maintain their presence until the mandates end.

This letter has been sent to all members of parliament and news media we await your urgent response.
