Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to review the FBI’s Wellington presence, re-evaluate strategies for independence from foreign influence, continue to support and uphold international law with EU/UN partners, and initiate a national dialogue about shielding our democracy from external ideological shifts.

Petition reason

We believe we must reassess security ties with the US to ensure they serve our national interest. We believe public concern is rising over FBI influence and the impact of the MAGA movement on our democracy. We think it is vital for NZ to maintain an independent foreign policy that prioritizes human rights, international law, and sovereignty. In our view, we must protect democratic values and citizens from external autocratic pressure to ensure a neutral and secure future for NZ's citizens.
