Integrity New Zealand · a party in the making · 2026—2029
It has since 1951. That's the problem we're fixing — one party, one policy, and we're not waiting for an election to start building it.
No spam. No donations asked. Just the build as it happens.
The missing check
In 1951 New Zealand abolished its upper house and never replaced it. Since then, the room where every law is made has had nothing outside it that can pause, question, or say stop. Most democracies keep a second check on power. We took ours away — and we've governed without one for over seventy years.
The promises change.
The system doesn't.
1951
Last year New Zealand had a second chamber. Seventy-plus years of single-chamber rule.
One party · one policy
A permanent second chamber, built on the waka hourua — the double-hulled vessel that crossed oceans by holding two hulls to one course. Neither hull steers alone. Neither hull is cargo.
The crest carries it before the words do — two halves held in one form. The angular silver side for the rule of law; the crimson koru side for the living line of tangata whenua. One shield.
Hull one — the people
30 · chosen by lottery
Hull two — tangata whenua
30 · Iwi & Hapū seats
Two hulls. One vessel. One policy.
60 seats · a standing check, not a fourth party
Strictly lawful and constitutional. No conspiracy frameworks, no sovereign-citizen mythology — a mechanism, not a movement of grievance.
The Zero-Profit pledge
Every INZ candidate is bound to this before they're allowed to stand. It isn't a slogan. It's a structure — written into how the salary is paid before the first vote is ever cast.
| MP salary — current base | $168,000 |
| Kept, to live on (60%) | ~$100,800 |
| To Whare Āwhina — 40%, every fortnight | ~$2,585 ×26 |
| Year-end tax rebate — also donated | ~$22,400 |
| Parliamentary superannuation | Refused |
| Total to Whare Āwhina, every year | ~$89,600 |
The proof · published monthly · nothing hidden
Monthly bank statements published in full. If a payment is ever missed, it shows up here too.
The money stays in Whangārei. Whare Āwhina gives people doing it tough a place to eat, shower, and do their washing — you can walk past it and see exactly what every fortnight's payment does. No head office, no overheads in another city. Our own town, looked after first.
For our leader, Robert Perham, proof-not-promises isn't a tactic. He lost his daughter to cervical cancer in 2025 — and watched how far apart the words of institutions can sit from what they actually do. This pledge is built so the gap can't open: the statements are published, every fortnight, whether anyone asks or not.
Who this is for
More than voted for any single minor party. Not apathy — a verdict. They looked at what was on offer and decided none of it was worth the walk. We think they were right — and we're building the thing that would have been.

The build, in the open
Watch the election. Document what fails in the minor parties, and why. Lay the legal foundations. Build the evidence file.
File with the Electoral Commission. Launch properly. Begin recruiting candidates who'll take the pledge.
Finalise the candidate slate and the platform. Run forums in the communities the system forgot.
Full campaign. The handbrake on the ballot — and the leverage to make it law.
Stay on the line
We're building — in public, on purpose. Leave your email and watch it happen. No spam, no donations asked — ever.
