NZ Outdoors & Freedom on Health

Against mandates, fluoride; support medicinal cannabis freedom

This party says the government should not force people to have vaccines or medical treatments they do not want. They oppose putting fluoride in drinking water and oppose COVID-19 restrictions. They support people being able to access medicinal cannabis. They believe each person should have the right to make their own health choices without government pressure.

What they say they'll do

  • End COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates
  • Stop fluoride being added to drinking water
  • Protect every person's legal right to refuse medical treatment
  • Support access to medicinal cannabis
  • Enshrine bodily autonomy as a supreme legal right that no future government can override

Who this affects

People who opposed vaccine or medical mandates
The party would make it a supreme legal right to refuse any medical treatment, meaning no government could legally require vaccinations or other procedures.
People who drink tap water
The party opposes fluoridation, so their policy would mean fluoride would not be added to the public water supply.
Medicinal cannabis patients and users
The party supports medicinal cannabis, indicating they would maintain or expand access to it as a health option.

In their own words

“Opposition to fluoridation of water, COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates, and 5G; support for medicinal cannabis.”
“Permanently enshrine the New Zealand Bill of Rights as supreme law, so no future government or emergency declaration can bypass or strip away individual liberties... bodily autonomy, and the right to refuse medical treatment.”
