6 Day Anti-Labour/National Campaign

A hard-hitting campaign called Vote For New Zealand has declared "A Six Day War New Zealand Must Win" to "jolt New Zealanders awake to what it describes as "the relentless surrender of New Zealand sovereignty to a rich tribal elite by both Labour and National governments, for reasons based largely on lies".

Campaign spokesman Perry Spiller says that both parties are equally guilty, and if a kingmaker cannot win enough votes on Saturday to stop the surrender, "the Maori king's wish for a share of sovereignty for Maori by 2025 will seem pessimistic".

"In April this year, the tribes effectively got co-governance of every local body, with the right to hold up resource consents. As of July 1, every New Zealand teacher must swear allegiance to Geoffrey Palmer's trumped-up Treaty partnership principles, when as Attorney-General he knew full well that treaties have parties, not partners.

"And next year, National's planning to cave in to the Iwi Leaders' Freshwater Group's demand for control of the nation's drinking water, and Labour will achieve the same ends via their water tax.

"After democracy, truth and water, what will be left of our sovereignty to lose?" Spiller wonders. "At first, of course, people baulk at the idea New Zealand could become a Maori state. Then I ask them, 'When do you think the surrender will stop - and who do you think's going to stop it? Then they go very quiet."

The campaign combines an appeal to patriotism with graphic evidence of the scale of both the surrender and the doctoring of New Zealand history by state academics. Some elements spoof National's 2005 Iwi/Kiwi billboard, with both Jacinda Ardern and Bill English answering "Iwi" to questions like "Who will run New Zealand?" and "Who can hold up my resource consent?"

Spiller says the Vote For New Zealand campaign is not connected to, or endorsed, by any political party.

Though deadly serious about the imminent threat to his country, Spiller is not without a sense of humour, channelling Winston Churchill with the line, "We will fight on the billboards. We will fight in the streets. We will fight in the emails and on the landing pages. We will fight on the web. And unlike National and Labour, we will never surrender."
