Enough with the drama. Liz Gunn’s coordinated assault on New Zealand Loyal isn’t principled dissent – it’s a desperate diversion from her own failures. Baseless allegations, contradictory statements, and public mud-slinging won’t stop a member-driven party that’s moving forward with clear leadership and unyielding focus on the November 7 General Election.

Gunn claims she never resigned as leader while simultaneously insisting she never ratified the party constitution, rendering it invalid. This isn’t coherence; it’s convenient flip-flopping designed to sow chaos and derail re-registration. No evidence backs her smears against NZ Loyal members and the new leadership. None. It’s all smoke, mirrors, and theatrical ramblings aimed at disrupting a party that dared to hold her accountable.

Members Took Back Control

Party members refused to let one individual’s actions bury their movement. They convened a special general meeting, elected an interim board, and set a clear mandate: recover the party list, finances, and assets; convene a proper Annual General Meeting to elect official leadership; and pursue accountability for the mishandling of original party funds. It wasn’t a coup – it was members exercising their rights under the constitution against unilateral deregistration and financial improprieties.

The interim board, now under capable leadership including Kelvyn Alp, has delivered stability where there was none. This is leadership that cannot be intimidated, coerced, bribed, blackmailed, or bought off. Gunn’s tactics expose exactly why they’re needed: the old guard couldn’t handle scrutiny or deliver results.

NZ Loyal: Solutions Over Sideshows

While Gunn fixates on personal grievances and IP disputes, NZ Loyal is laser-focused on what matters: challenging the entrenched status quo that’s failed everyday Kiwis. This isn’t another personality cult or recycled protest party. It’s a fully functioning vehicle built by and for members who demand real alternatives on sovereignty, economic freedom, health autonomy, and ending centralised control.

• Re-registration and readiness: The party is pushing hard for official registration to contest the November 7 election, turning past lessons into disciplined action.
• Member-first governance: Decisions flow from the people, not top-down decrees or personal trademarks.
• Uncompromised opposition: No backroom deals. No fear of the establishment. NZ Loyal exists to break the cycle of the same failed policies from National, Labour, and the rest – delivering direct representation that puts people first.

The only reason for these dirty tactics now? Because NZ Loyal has leadership that stands firm. A vocal minority of Gunn supporters can’t bully or distract a party that’s prioritising electoral impact over ego.

The Choice is Clear

New Zealand doesn’t need more performative outrage or ghost-party feuds. It needs a genuine challenger that organises, registers, campaigns, and wins seats to shift power back to the people. NZ Loyal is that force – rebuilt, refocused, and ready.

Gunn’s campaign of disruption has failed to derail the members’ will. The energy wasted on infighting could have strengthened the original vision; instead, it highlights why change was necessary. For those tired of the circus in Wellington and endless fringe distractions, NZ Loyal offers substance: principled, member-driven politics that refuses to back down.

The November 7 election is the battlefield. NZ Loyal is on it – united, prepared, and loyal to New Zealanders, not to any single ex-leader’s narrative. The status quo is shaking for a reason. Join the fight that actually delivers.

Claims circulating online that New Zealand Loyal leader Kelvyn Alp is ineligible to stand in the election are false.

Attorney General Judith Collins signed off on Alp’s bankruptcy as one of her final acts in office before fleeing politics to the Law Society.

It stemmed from a lawsuit over his false arrest. The presiding judge – a former senior police advisor – ruled that police can act on false information in their system without any duty to verify it, granting them full indemnity.

“The corrupt system protected its own. Justice was denied,” Alp said. “I am able to contest the 2026 Election, and I will deliver justice for all who have been wronged by the system.”

“Perhaps the New Nation Party should read the Electoral Act before publishing confident legal claims about it.”

Section 47(1) of the Electoral Act 1993 states that a person registered as an elector is qualified to stand as either an electorate or party-list candidate. Sections 47(2) and 47(3) add that the person must not be disqualified from electoral registration and must be a New Zealand citizen.

Section 80 then specifies the disqualifications from electoral registration.

Undischarged bankruptcy is not one of them.

The Act contains no provision disqualifying an undischarged bankrupt from standing for Parliament. The Electoral Commission likewise states that a candidate must be enrolled to vote and be a New Zealand citizen by the nomination deadline.

So the assertion that Kelvyn Alp “likely cannot stand” because he is bankrupt is not an interpretation of the legislation. It is simply made up.

This is elementary statutory checking. A political party making public claims about electoral law should perhaps bother to read the sections it invokes before lecturing anyone else about eligibility.

New Zealand Police are under fire for systemic corruption, sexual misconduct, and possession of objectionable material – the very crimes they aggressively prosecute against citizens. Recent investigations reveal officers, including senior detectives and a former deputy commissioner, charged with possessing child exploitation material, bestiality, rape depictions, and other indecent content.

An Auckland police officer faces multiple charges for possessing objectionable publications over years. Other staff stood down amid probes into inappropriate content. A former top cop admitted to such material on work devices.

Hypocrisy on Full Display

Kelvyn Alp and Hannah Spierer face charges of distributing objectionable material – allegedly a link to a foreign investigative documentary website based in the UK that is said to contain the Christchurch mosque livestream – carrying up to 14 years in prison. The officers and command structure in charge during their charging now face parallel investigations for similar or worse offenses.

The Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act targets extreme violence, terrorism promotion, child exploitation, and indecency. Police weaponise it against critics while their own ranks harbour the offenders the law was written to catch. Oversight? No, It’s selective enforcement that protects the powerful and punishes dissent.

Serious offenders often receive low, non-custodial sentences. Meanwhile, Alp and Spierer risk decades for challenging narratives. Police pursue maximum penalties against those exposing uncomfortable truths while their internal rot festers.

Christchurch Mosque Attacks: The Fabricated Narrative

Alp and Spierer highlight forensic discrepancies in the official story of the March 15, 2019, attacks. They claim undisputed evidence shows the lone gunman narrative was fabricated. The push to jail them for up to 14 years aims to silence proof that contradicts the government line.

A full criminal investigation into government treason and agency complicity is essential. The Christchurch Call and suppression of the livestream served control, not justice. When NZ Loyal gains power in the November 7, 2026, election, expect accountability: widespread probes, prosecutions, and a reckoning. Many in high places will face jail.

A Criminal Organization Masquerading as Law Enforcement

Isolated bad apples? No. Pattern after pattern: corruption in corrections, unlawful information access, sexual misconduct by deputy commissioners, flawed handling of historical abuse cases, and now objectionable material within the ranks.

NZ Police increasingly resemble a protection racket. They falsify records, obstruct justice, and target political opponents while shielding their own. Low consequences for grave crimes. Full force against those questioning official stories.

The public sees it. Trust erodes when enforcers become the enforcers of narrative over law. Alp and Spierer’s case exemplifies the hypocrisy: charged by the very system now exposed for the same sins.

Demand transparency. Support a thorough purge. On November 7, 2026, NZ Loyal offers the vehicle to restore justice – real investigations, real sentences, and an end to the masquerade. The people deserve a Police Force, not a criminal syndicate in blue.

New Zealand Loyal has applied for re-registration with the Electoral Commission ahead of the June 11th (recommended) deadline.

This was a significant milestone for New Zealand Loyal as it prepares to contest the 2026 General Election.

“Three political parties have submitted applications to register with the Electoral Commission so far this week,” the Commission said.  

Applications to register the party and a logo to appear on the ballot paper have been received from:

“Once initial checks have been completed, details of the applications being considered by the Commission will be available on the current party and logo applications page on our website.” 

An application to register a party is determined following membership checks and public consultation on the party name and logo.

The last legal date for the Commission to register parties and logos for the election is Thursday 6 August 2026. 

NZ Loyal remains fully committed to completing its re-registration process and delivering meaningful political alternatives for New Zealanders.

Recent claims by Liz Gunn that the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ) has granted her the trademark for the name first lodged in August 2024 are incorrect. The application is currently only at Stage 3. The next phase is a mandatory three-month public objection period, during which NZ Loyal will be lodging formal objections. No trademark has been granted.

This appears to be a coordinated attempt to undermine the party’s re-registration. We will not be deterred. Such tactics will not succeed.

In her recent comments, Ms Gunn also selectively edited and misrepresented remarks made by NZ Loyal Deputy Leader John Alcock. The full context of his interview was a clear warning about the direction the current government is heading regarding digital currencies – not an endorsement. This selective clipping is a familiar tactic designed to provoke emotional reaction rather than encourage careful consideration of the facts.

We encourage New Zealanders to watch, listen, and evaluate all information critically. The truth becomes clear over time.

The current NZ Loyal team is united, professional, and making strong progress – which is precisely why efforts to derail us continue. We will stay focused on what matters most: restoring a better quality of life for all Kiwis and securing a safer, freer future for our children.

We are determined to fight and win this battle today so the next generation does not have to fight the same battle tomorrow.

Loyal to You, Not to Them.

I provide this commentary from a Kiwi-first perspective. That is not a racial argument. It is a national-interest argument. I work with Indian professionals and Indian businesses by choice because they are skilled, capable and commercially valuable. My concern is with the New Zealand Government entering an agreement that appears to expand access to New Zealand’s labour market, education system, services economy, capital flows and financial infrastructure while offering only modest, narrow and uneven benefits in return.

India negotiated for India. That is what competent governments do. New Zealand should have negotiated for
New Zealand.

The New Zealand state exists for New Zealand citizens. Citizens are not merely another stakeholder group to be balanced against exporters, education providers, foreign workers, foreign students, diplomatic ambitions and multinational interests. We are the people for whom the New Zealand state exists. If an agreement makes life easier for foreign workers, foreign students, foreign investors, foreign service providers and selected export sectors, while making competition harder for New Zealand workers, students, taxpayers, renters and small businesses, then the Government has a duty to prove that the agreement serves New Zealanders first. On the material currently available, that case has not been made.

New Zealand does not have a shortage of foreigners willing to work here. New Zealand has a shortage of political courage to make this country worth staying in for its own citizens.

We are aware of a video circulating online from Liz Gunn, referred to as “The Alp Files” or similar.

We will not be dragged into the gutter by those seeking to undermine the only political party offering tangible, practical solutions to bring New Zealand back from the brink. Our focus remains on the real issues facing Kiwis economic recovery, sovereignty, and a secure future – and we will not allow personal attacks to distract from that mission.

New Zealand deserves better than division and smears. We choose substance over spectacle.
