Democracy Action has been formed to give voice to equality and democracy.
We stand for:
Democracy Action is a not-for-profit incorporated society working to protect the equality of citizenship in New Zealand. Our grassroots movement champions the fundamental importance of democracy, and the equality of citizenship.
Democracy Action was formed in Auckland, but is working across New Zealand on campaigns to promote and protect democracy.
Auckland’s Mana Whenua requirements means you may need a 'cultural impact assessment' for your next resource consent. We believe that resource consents should be determined by a democratic body – not a section of Aucklanders based on race.
The Resource Legislation Amendment Bill contains radical reforms which would erode our fundamental democratic rights of equality before the law. It takes power from democratically elected councillors and gives them to unelected iwi governing bodies.
The Marine and Coastal Area Act was created to replace the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004. In 2009 the National-led government, as part of a November 2008 confidence-and-supply agreement with the Māori Party, undertook a review of the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004.
