Our policies are focused on promoting food sovereignty and other community interests, and are based in science rather than globalist ideology.

In summary: NZ Outdoors and Freedom Party:

1. Recognise carbon biology and chemistry: Carbon is a relatively safe inert element that changes composition as part of the carbon cycle, from air, to plants to animals and back to air. Farming grass feed animals is part of that cycle.

2. Paris Accord / Net Zero / Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)

We believe that current climate policies are an attempt to privatise and profit from air, for the benefit of a few. There is no climate emergency. We will end carbon focused taxes like the Paris Accord, Zero Carbon Act, and Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) which impose significant costs on everyday New Zealanders while distracting from other more toxic environmental harm such as bioaccumulative poisons.

3. Food production and rural communities.

We oppose any policy that encourages the conversion of productive pastoral and arable land into permanent or long-term carbon forestry. Our focus is promoting food security and supporting farmers to continue being the best food producers in the world and ensure healthy affordable food to New Zealanders.

4. Energy - The best way to secure a nation's prosperity is through energy policy. The current SOW control of energy must be restricted so energy is reliable and affordable for New Zealanders and local businesses. Individual and community self sufficiency should be encouraged. Renewables are part of the solution but should be assessed on their merits with other sources.

5. Methane research and AgriZero

We do not support taxpayers' funds being used in this field of research. If private entities wish to continue in this field they can source funding elsewhere.

6. Planning Bill and Natural Environment Bill

The NZOutdoors & Freedom Party  has lodged submissions to parliament opposing the Planning Bill and Natural Environmental Bill in their current form which is lose: lose for communities and farmers.  More thought is required especially for the privatisation of public resources to protect communities and family farms and other small businesses

7. Proposed Gene Technology Bill

We have lodged submissions opposing the Gene Technology Bill which proposed to  end the long-standing restrictions placed on field trials and the release of genetically modified organisms. We consider that this proposal will overturn a societal consensus and such a decision should not be made without society-wide buy-in ie "social licence" and without assessing the health, economic and environmental risks of the release of GMOs.

8. Inflationary Burden

We promote self sufficiency and empowering local people and communities in health and other decisions. We promote the use of cash and a local circular economy for thriving local communities.

9. Reduce the size of the government. We oppose globalist interference in local and national decision making.

10. Reduce taxation. New Zealand citizens can spend their money far better than the government can.

11. Encourage self-reliance. Make appropriate use of New Zealand's fossil fuels and minerals for the benefit of local communities (including our own oil refinery). Investigate the procurement of our own oil tankers, which secures oil transportation and adds to our floating storage capacity. Bring back New Zealand manufacturing.
