Hi Friend,



In case you missed Jordan’s email below, it is critical we get to work to fix New Zealand <[link removed]>.



As someone deeply involved in politics, I've been telling Jordan and the team that without immediate action, the bureaucracy will regroup, and gum up even the best of intentions of Ministers.



In fact, even the next few weeks are make and break. We need to ensure the last government's policies are rolled back before the bureaucracy and so-called "Spads" (special advisers) are put in place around the Ministers. 'Spads' and the whole Beehive apparatus are designed to keep away those people who don't toe the line of the bureaucracy.



So it is crucial, Friend, that we stand together to counteract the media and bureaucratic forces already working to undermine the new government and create obstacles to reversing the damage of the past six years. <[link removed]>



Case in point: Did you see the news about the NZ on Air board member, who was caught abusing the new Government and calling them a “gang of thugs”? While expressing the views publicly was rightfully called out, we all know that many others in positions of power throughout the bureaucracy share similar sentiments behind closed doors. That is who we are up against! <[link removed]>



These people are fundamentally out of touch with the rest of the country, they are the ones who push co-governance, and advocate for a centralised ‘government-knows-best’ approach. We both know that they will do anything to maintain the status quo. That's why we need the Taxpayers' Union to keep up the pressure. <[link removed]>



Friend, I founded the Taxpayers’ Union to stand up for taxpayers against the lobby groups, bureaucrats and lackeys calling for ever bigger government. These groups are now crying louder than ever opposing Christopher Luxon, David Seymour and Winston Peters. That’s why the Taxpayers’ Union needs your support to provide a voice for the taxpayers who pay the bills. <[link removed]>



Friend, we can’t let the bureaucracy swallow the government and bed-in bad policy. Will you join me in chipping in to support Jordan and the rest of the Taxpayers’ Union team to continue to apply the pressure? <[link removed]>



>> Yes, I 'll chip in << <[link removed]>



Your support means the team can keep the pressure on when it matters the most – rather than wasting time worrying about fundraising and keeping the lights on, <[link removed]>



Thank you for your support.

Dear Friend,



With the new Government sworn in this morning, now is our final chance to ensure that Nanaia Mahuta’s Three Waters is scrapped, and New Zealand is put on a path to a more prosperous future.



We need to ensure no time is lost to recommit New Zealand to accountable and democratic control of public assets once and for all <[link removed]>.



Friend, until the legislation is actually passed and we’ve ensured there is no last minute devil in the detail, the job of the Taxpayers’ Union is not done. That’s why I’m asking all our most loyal supporters like you to back the Taxpayers’ Union and get this over the line. <[link removed]>



Luxon, Seymour, and Peters cannot do it alone



Christopher Luxon, David Seymour, and Winston Peters are up against armies of bureaucrats and vested interests who are determined to keep the most damaging components of the last government’s agenda in-place. That’s why I’m asking for your support today – to make sure there is a voice to ensure the new Government delivers <[link removed]>.



You only need look at the way the Department of Internal Affairs officials were caught secretly signing up to Three Waters deals even after the election to make it harder for the new Government to unwind Nanaia Mahuta’s toxic policies. It’s that sort of skulduggery we need to ensure does not fend off even the best intentions in the new Government <[link removed]>.



Finally, we have a favourable government in place, but they are only human. Before the new Government are ground down by the ‘Wellington blob’, bureaucracy, and the shrilling media let’s get the job done <[link removed]>. 



We cannot let this once in a generation opportunity be missed



The Taxpayers’ Union survives on contributions from New Zealanders like you. While it’s easy to breathe a sigh of relief with that election result, the short point is that now is not the time to rest easy. The next few months are absolutely vital if we are to achieve what we have worked so hard to convince the public of in recent years. <[link removed]>



Arguably, dollar-for-dollar, the behind the scenes policy work over the next six to twelve months is likely to be the best value for money since we were launched ten years ago. But that won't happen unless we can raise sufficient support to keep the heat on Wellington. <[link removed]>



So if you agree with Scrapping Three Waters; replacing the Resource Management Act; reining-in the costs of Wellington; demanding more accountability/democracy (and less race-based government!), I urge you that now is the time to support the Taxpayers’ Union to ensure this opportunity is not lost. <[link removed]>



Without a strong Taxpayers’ Union, we leave it open for the left-wing media, and the left-wing officials to screw the scrum, yet again. Let’s not let it happen. <[link removed]>



You can't save the world if you can’t keep the lights on



Whether it be drafting parliamentary bills to improve local government, removing race-based privilege, demanding political neutrality within government agencies, or finishing the legal work on the Three Waters replacement, we need you to help us, to make these things happen <[link removed]>. In short, we are counting on your support today <[link removed]>.
