Petition request

That the House of Representatives ban all private nuclear, biological, or apocalyptic bunkers.

Petition reason

NZ has been nuclear-free since 1987; to me, a victory for ordinary Kiwis standing together. I think private billionaire doomsday bunkers would betray that legacy, and could create a two-tier survival system where the ultra-rich could hide while the rest of us burn. I feel such bunkers could scar our land and turn Aotearoa into an elite escape hatch. I believe no-one should buy survival, and any real shelter must serve all New Zealanders, not just the few. I want private doomsday bunkers banned.
