The Māori Green Lantern Leading The Fight Against Misinformation And Disinformation From The Far Right

Bill Status: PASSED Third Reading | Implementation: January 1, 2026

THE LANTERN CORP OF AOTEAROA - YOUR MISSION

70 MPs voted to lock Aotearoa into neoliberal constitutional capture. 54 voted against. HERE IS THE CONTACT LIST.

Your job: remobilise your electorate, identify your LOCAL MPs who betrayed Te Tiriti, and apply sustained political pressure to force a repeal or amendment.

The bill is law—but it’s not locked in forever. The opposition pledges repeal if they win 2026. Your pressure NOW determines whether your MP hears the people’s voice or ignores it into the next election.

PART 1: IDENTIFY YOUR LOCAL MPs AND THEIR VOTES

PART 2: PRESSURE STRATEGY - FOUR TIERS

TIER 1: IMMEDIATE ACTION (Week 1-2)

1A. Personal Letter Campaign

Write to your LOCAL MP who voted FOR the bill:

Template Letter:

[Your Name]
[Your Address]
[Date: 13 November 2025]

Dear [MP Name],

RE: Your vote on the Regulatory Standards Bill (13 November 2025)

I am writing as a constituent of [Electorate] to express my profound disappointment at your vote to pass the Regulatory Standards Bill on 13 November 2025.

This bill:

• Violates Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Waitangi Tribunal found it a Treaty breach on 15 May 2025)
• Had 88% public opposition (20,240 out of 23,000 submissions)
• Forces Māori communities to compensate corporations for equity-protecting regulation
• Locks Aotearoa into ideology over democracy

88% of New Zealanders opposed this. You voted to ignore them.

I demand to know:

1. Why did you vote against the Tribunal’s explicit warning?
2. How do you justify ignoring 20,000+ submissions from your electorate?
3. Will you commit to repealing this bill if returned to opposition?

I will remember this vote at the 2026 election.

Yours,
[Your Name]

SEND TO:

• Your MP (email from their Parliament website)
• CC: Christopher Luxon (christopher.luxon@parliament.govt.nz)
• CC: Local council (elected representatives see MP pressure)

Deadline: This week

1B. Social Media Call-Out

Post on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok:

[Your MP Name] just voted AGAINST Aotearoa.

On November 13, 2025, [MP Name], my electorate MP for [Electorate], voted to pass the Regulatory Standards Bill.

What that means:

• The Waitangi Tribunal called it a Treaty breach on May 15, 2025
• 88% of New Zealanders opposed it (20,240 submissions)
• Māori will be forced to pay corporations for equity laws

[MP Name] chose corporate ideology over Te Tiriti. Over you.

Tag: @[MP Name] | Demand repeal

#RegulatoryStandardsBillFail #TeTritiOrTreason #ChooseAotearoa

1C. Phone Campaign

Call your MP’s Electorate Office THIS WEEK:

• Parliament website: Look up “[MP Name] electorate office”
• Script: “I’m [Your Name], constituent of [Electorate]. I’m calling to say I’m FURIOUS that [MP Name] voted for the Regulatory Standards Bill. It violates Te Tiriti, had 88% public opposition, and I will vote them out in 2026. Can I speak to them or leave a message?”

Target offices for maximum impact (have list coordinators):

• Christopher Luxon: Botany electorate office
• Nicola Willis: Ōhāriu electorate office
• Judith Collins: Papakura electorate office
• Shane Reti: Whangārei electorate office
• Chris Bishop: Hutt South electorate office

TIER 2: SUSTAINED PRESSURE (Weeks 3-12)

2A. Monthly MP Accountability Sessions

Organise local community meetups where your MP MUST attend:

1. Set up community hui/meeting (church hall, marae, community centre)

2. Invite your local MP publicly (social media, local media, posters)

3. Frame as “Community Accountability for Regulatory Standards Bill”

4. Have speakers prepared:

   • Māori health worker (equity threatened)

   • Environmental campaigner (climate regulation chilled)

   • Small business owner (compliance costs)

5. Record MP’s responses - upload to social media if they don’t attend (highlights cowardice)

Target: One session per month Oct-Dec 2025, Jan-March 2026 (leads to election)

2B. Local Media Campaign

Get your story in local newspapers:

Op-ed template (send to your local newspaper):

“Why [MP Name] Should Resign Over the Regulatory Standards Bill”

[Your Name], resident of [Electorate], writes:

On November 13, our MP voted to lock Aotearoa into a constitutional trap. The Regulatory Standards Bill will force Māori communities to pay corporations for equity-protecting laws. The Waitangi Tribunal warned it was a Treaty breach. 88% of New Zealanders opposed it.

[MP Name] chose corporate ideology over their constituents.

In 2026, we vote them out.

Send to:

• Local newspaper letters page
• Regional magazine / community newsletter
• Local radio (for interview)

2C. Electoral Petition / Civil Society Pressure

Join or start grassroots movement:

• Join Toitū te Tiriti (18,000+ already organised) - toitutetiriti.org
• Partner with Greenpeace Aotearoa, Environmental Defence Society, Pacific Peoples’ Partnership
• Attend Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti 2.0 (mobilise if organised for 2026)

TIER 3: ELECTORAL STRATEGY (Leading to 2026 Election)

3A. Primary Challenge - Support Opposition MPs

If your MP voted AGAINST (Labour/Greens/Te Pāti Māori):

• Volunteer for their campaign (phone banking, door-knock)
• Donate (even $5-20 adds up)
• Attend community meetings

If your MP voted FOR (National/ACT/NZ First):

• Research and campaign for opposition candidate
• Door-knock with flyer: “This MP voted to ignore Te Tiriti”
• Organise “Meet the Opposition Candidate” events

3B. Electorate-Specific Campaign

Target these strategic National electorates:

ElectorateMPMarginStrategyBotanyChristopher Luxon (PM)SafeBuild opposition campaign (high profile)Hutt SouthChris BishopSafeTarget progressive votersPapakuraJudith CollinsSafeMobilise Māori voteWhangāreiShane RetiMarginalDirect challenge possibleŌhāriuNicola WillisMarginalWellington progressives + MāoriEast Coast BaysErica StanfordMarginalAuckland progressive suburbsHamilton WestTama PotakaMarginalWaikato Māori mobilisation

3C. Issue-Based Framing for 2026

Three core messages:

1. “Treaty Breach” - Bill violates Te Tiriti (Tribunal proven)
2. “Corporate Over Community” - 88% opposed, they voted for corporations anyway
3. “Māori Will Pay” - Equity regulations force Māori to compensate companies

Every campaign = these three messages

TIER 4: LEGAL & CONSTITUTIONAL (Ongoing)

4A. Judicial Review Support

Whānau seeking to challenge the bill in court:

• Donate to Toitū te Tiriti legal fund
• Share court updates on social media
• Attend public court hearings (show public opposition)

Track status: courts.govt.nz

4B. International Accountability

File reports with UN bodies:

• UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues - Report NZ breach of UNDRIP (indigenous rights)
• UN Human Rights Committee - Report Treaty violation
• International Labour Organisation (ILO 169) - NZ is signatory

How: Partner with legal orgs like Human Rights Law Centre, Equal Justice Project

PART 3: TALKING POINTS & MESSAGING

FOR YOUR MP (Direct Pressure)

1. “The Tribunal explicitly said this was a Treaty breach. How do you justify ignoring Māori consultation warnings?”
2. “88% of constituents opposed this. Who do you represent?”
3. “Māori will have to pay corporations for equity laws. Is that your vision?”
4. “You’re not bound to your coalition partner. You can still demand repeal or amendment.”

FOR VOTERS / SOCIAL MEDIA

1. “[MP Name] just voted to force Māori to pay corporations for being treated fairly.”
2. “The Regulatory Standards Bill passed 70-54. 54 MPs stood with Te Tiriti. Where was [your MP]?”
3. “88% of Aotearoa opposed this. Our government ignored us. Vote differently in 2026.”
4. “This bill violates Te Tiriti. The Waitangi Tribunal said so. Congress signed it anyway.”

FOR MEDIA / OPINION

1. “Constitutional capture disguised as red-tape reduction”
2. “Corporate compensation clause forces Māori to subsidise their own dispossession”
3. “Coalition government chose ideology over democratic mandate (88% opposition)”
4. “Treaty breach by stealth - Tribunal warning ignored”

FINAL WORD

70 MPs just voted to ignore 20,000 constituents, the Waitangi Tribunal, and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

That’s not democracy. That’s capture.

The next 10 months are YOUR time to ensure they hear the people’s voice—loudly, clearly, and often.

Kia tū. Ka tū, ka tū, ka tū.

This guide is part of the sustained resistance to constitutional capture. Share it. Organise with it. Act on it.

No politicians, no thought leaders, no tycoons own this movement—the people do.
