Anti-disinformation and conspiracy theories in Aotearoa New Zealand. Don't be duped.
Non-academic here, but years of studying the "freedom movement." Fringe party supporters in 2023 (DemocracyNZ, New Conservatives, Freedoms NZ, Outdoors & Freedoms and some NZ Loyal) are consolidating behind NZ First. There is still time, though, and I'd love to see data to back this observation.

We don't need to say reported. Here's Dean Harris at the VFF Coordinator conference in 2022, in the back, second from the right. It's right there, in lights 😄
🚨 Voices for Freedom and Local Elections 🚨
Last local elections VFF encouraged people to run for local council. Their plan was semi-successful, electing dozens of councillors and board members. This time around, they're far more organised. Read: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Six years of building up Ray before the email scandal have kept supporters loyal. Chung's team went on the offensive hard when that came out. Their audience is primed to see all bad press as an attack and not to believe it, so it was easy to direct the anger at the media and Whanau using DARVO.

Here's my research into the area.
🚨 VFF & Selwyn local elections
This is a big election, with eight councillors not standing for re-election, so it is up for grabs
At the centre of these elections is Elizabeth Mundt. She was door-stopped in 2022 over her VFF connection. She ran Upskilling for Local Government.

Concerned Ratepayers Canterbury Region was set up by VFF coordinator Leslie McAuley-Bryant, who is in a group with Selwyn Councillor and VFF small group coordinator Elizabeth Mundt. Here are Leslie and Elizabeth at the recent NZ First convention in Palmerston North.

👋 They're the ones who spread the rumour about Mayor Tory Whanau in 2023 but they are much, much more. They are a conspiracy theorist group that helped NZ FIrst gain the cooker vote in 2023, led by tobacco and whaling lobbyist Glenn Inwood.
... and the leaders of Better Wellington & Independent Together, that want "party politics out of local government", set up third-party promoter The S.B Group (Glenn Inwood, Paul Heffernan and a VFF local coordinator) to support New Zealand First in the 2023 election.

But both Andrea and Paula knew who they were getting into bed with. Some of the so-called attacks are holding them and the group accountable for their actions.
I don't trust Tom Hunt. He knows what's going on in Wellington. There were better candidates to talk to about this issue.

In 2023, utterly false rumours spread online about a non-existent sex tape. The first mention online was Resistance Kiwi, AKA Glenn Inwood.
These are the dirty tactics that Better Wellington employs, and Independent Together candidates are okay with it.

This article is important. But the framing is concerning. Paula and Andrea were on the Better Wellington linked Independent Together ticket. BW have been spreading vile attacks on women councillors, including Tory Whanau for years. Doesn't excuse the abuse towards them.

Lydia Gliddon is a member of CRCR on Telegram, attending multiple meetings.
Lydia's Facebook is locked. But I have found one comment from 2021: "When does the Jacinda dictatorship stop? How far will she go? We are losing our
freedom and choices by the day ...... will voting be abolished next?"

Hate to say it but there is a cadre of new Gen-X supporters, pushing the party further right. We're stuck with them.

Correction: This is Murray Chong, not Phil Mauger—a case of mistaken identity. It should have been obvious as this was in New Plymouth.

VFF coordinator Emma Ryburn-Phengsavath (independent) is standing. In '23, Emma started an unvaccinated breast milk charity. She lays out VFF's plan well: "VFF are the 101 freedom fighter's - put another way, we are deliberately appealing to people just waking up to the tyranny."
More to come.
