Aly Cook (Board & Treasurer)
Nelson born Aly Cook, mother of 3, lived and married in Tasman for 30 years, has over 35 years’ experience in the entertainment industry, having toured globally with large international acts.
Aly is also a songwriter and recording artist in her own right. Her albums have spent time on the official NZ Album charts.
Aly has always been a strong advocate for fairness in arts funding, and medical freedom of choice and has stood against the 1080 poison in NZ.
Aly says “I have joined the board of the Outdoors & Freedom Party as their policies align with my values. We live in a different world now, one of my children took the Covid 19 Vaccine which has left him with Vaccine induced pericarditis as diagnosed by a cardiologist and now after a long battle accepted by ACC.
Aly is a constant campaigner and ran a petition with 24,000 signatures for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Safety & Efficacy of the Covid 19 Vaccine and its approval for use in New Zealand.
When her petition was presented. It is the first time the words “Vaccine Safety and Efficacy” have been mentioned in parliament.
“I will not stand by and let our rights as New Zealanders be eroded away by an unaccountable – corrupt government.
The 120 MPs that were sitting in Wellington at the time of Covid, lost their moral compass and were misguided. They have done nothing to help our families, and many others have been through total hell, unnecessarily losing their livelihoods, homes, careers and their health, through being forced to take a newly invented pharmaceutical or lose their job.
Not even the UK mandated its medical staff. What has happened here and is still happening here is wrong. Never again must a government come between a doctor and a patient!"
Donna Pokere-Phillips
Donna holds an LLB and LLM (Hons) (from the University of Waikato)
Donna Pokere-Phillips is a legal advocate, community leader and experienced political campaigner with a lifelong commitment to whānau, whenua, justice and accountable government.
Born in Taranaki, Donna has whakapapa connections to Tainui, Ngāti Tūwharetoa and iwi of Taranaki. Her whakapapa and commitment to whānau have strongly shaped her approach to advocacy and public service.
Donna holds an LLB and LLM (Hons) from the University of Waikato and has experience across law, Māori resource and environmental management, policy, governance, facilitation, project management and business. She also spent more than a decade co-owning a transport business.
Much of Donna's work has been advocacy — standing alongside people navigating legal and government systems, asking difficult questions, examining evidence and ensuring their voices are heard. Her advocacy has included Māori land matters, supporting people who experienced abuse in state care, working with rangatahi and helping whānau engage with government agencies and institutions.
That experience has shaped Donna's view of politics. She believes good representation begins with listening, understanding how decisions affect people on the ground, and being prepared to challenge systems when they are not working fairly.
Donna has spent years advocating for people outside Parliament. She now wants to take that advocacy into Parliament.
At the heart of her politics is a belief that democracy belongs to the people. She advocates for greater government accountability, meaningful direct democracy and giving New Zealanders a genuine voice in the decisions that affect their lives.
Donna is married to Terry, is a mother of five adult children and a very proud grandmother.
