NZ Initiative claims to be working towards a "free, prosperous, fair, and cohesive society." Their list of members reveals their deep conflicts of interest.
University of Waikato (#87) appears more and more to be the personal fiefdom of its vice-chancellor Neil Quigley. Otherwise what business does an academic institution have in endorsing a very specific and extreme political-economic viewpoint? If Quigley were a socialist, this would be a public outrage.
I have been watching the membership list for several years. Past membership includes government departments, state owned enterprises, and public universities. These memberships ended during the recent Labour-led government, but there are still members which have substantial public shareholdings. The ethics of this?
I admit I couldn’t make sense of a number of the members. Interesting to see how it’s shifted over the years. Corporate influence runs deep and wide. So many branches.
Thanks one hundred times over for your research and reporting. It is eye opening. Thanks again for your efforts keep up the good mahi

This is excellent Ryan. Needs to be shared far and wide.

Thanks - were they mentioned in Australia today? As a dangerous entity?
