Outdoors Party reveals it’s joining forces with Brian Tamaki’s Freedoms NZ
The Outdoors Party says it’s joining Freedoms NZ, an umbrella political party started by controversial Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki last year.
In a statement on Saturday morning, Outdoors confirmed the party had decided to join the Freedoms NZ political movement “to inspire courage, respect for other views, common sense and aroha and reclaim the New Zealand we used to be so proud of”.
Speaking to Newshub Nation on Saturday, Peter Lineham, a retired Massey University history professor who in 2013 published a book on Tamaki, believed the Destiny Church leader sensed “this is a political moment… waiting for a different voice”.
To date the insane narcissism of all the Egos in the Antivax movement have been too fractured and selfish to work together.
This has been great because it has meant they were all doomed to perish sub 5%, but the danger was that the pressure from those Kiwis alienated and still incandescent with fury over the Covid mandates would force these egos to work together, and that is what has happened.
If they can get a boiled ham like Matt King to join his Democracy NZ brand to this cavalcade of circus freaks, God forbid they have enough momentum in the fractured Qanon realms to aim at 5%.
While Tamaki has been a waning political influence, his first $20000 tax free, pulling out of WHO, UN and transphobia all have far larger electoral pull than many may suspect.
The electorate still alienated by the Covid Mandates is larger than we wish to admit.
This could trigger a very vengeful electorate.

“ This could trigger a very vengeful electorate.”
Presumably the electorate feels it has much to be vengeful about.
Sure be funny to see TMP, Greens, and ACT’s faces when they figure out they have to deal with Bishop Brian as the MMP kingmaker.
Time for Labour, National, ACT and the others to investigate the charitable status of Density Church now that Tamaki Inc have become a political party?
I doubt it would be easy to untangle the web of financing the charitable religious elements of the church party and the uncharitable, asocial elements of the feral party?
I doubt if Luxon will rule out having a coalition with Life of Maori Brian’s Party, as quickly as Luxon did with the co-leaders Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer.
Tricky for Luxon to be consistent with appealing to the feral white racists of Aotearoa, while supporting feral brown evangelists.
Totally agree. Well past time that dodgy grifter was investigated.
Tamaki or Luxon Niki?
Being alienated by a mandate is one thing but voting for an absolute conman is the answer? I don’t think being against a mandate makes you an idiot.if you are dumb enough to give this guy credibility then you are.
Parliament is supposed to be a House of Representatives so perhaps it is time for all the disaffected to be represented. After all will the Umbrella people really be any more crazy than the right wing gun toting Acts, the separatist TPMs or the woke infested pronoun shouting Greenies. Besides it must add to the prestige of Parliament to have an actual APOSTLE of Jesus Christ as a member.

They’ve got one already. Chris Luxon is a member of the inner circle.
Which is a bit hypocritical. Bible, King James Version Mark.10 Verses 21 to 25
[21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
[22] And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
[23] And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
[24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
[25] It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Prediction: barely make 2%.
What is Brian Tamakis transphobia? Genuine question
Insignificancy.
The electorate isn’t alienated, it is just more informed than they are given credit for. But none of this matters – if – they choose to take the political path to change because our political system like all Western political systems is stuffed – bought and paid for.
They want change, then they have got to work outside of this system (but of course, always within the bounds of the law). Protest, civil disobedience, non-compliance, protest, protest, protest, force the political class to break their allegiance to big money interests, then change may come about.
Given that it’s still what, 5-6 months away from the election has anyone else noticed the number of DemocracyNZ posters sitting on people’s fences and mailboxes?
sigh
There is no political tribe of people who opposed the mandate. It was a position on a particular issue.
The response attributing a tribe where there is none continues to be shocking in its assumptions about groups and conformity within them.
This is what democracy has become. An empty team sport where the best outcome is just a temporary boost in the feelings of those who identify with a particular side.
Incapable of substantial change. Just a game.
What about that anti co governece guy with his pamphlet in letter boxes, if he becomes part of this party, + the Boiled Ham + the Conservative party actually is about 4 .8%
So I can see a Cup of Tea for Mr Tamaki in the next 4 months.
God help us if these clowns get anywhere near Parliament. I don’t know anyone that’s voting for them, and I speak to a lot of people daily.
I have no doubt Tamaki and co will probably pick up some votes, for sure – but 20% like he thinks?? Jesus, Act have been around for a lot longer and even *they* don’t get anywhere near that many votes. I’ve noticed it takes a long time in NZ to build up followers for a party, certainly not six months out from an election.
Tamaki would hate to have to work with the other parties anyway – he would want to be in charge of everything, 100% of the time. Narcissists are like that.
I feel that any group that is not inclusive of all New Zealanders is fundamentally wrong and this applies to church philosophy and political philosophy alike. Most churches and political parties these days are accepting of all New Zealanders.
So, this is the fourth attempt that the Tamakis have made to get into Parliament- the other three are Destiny New Zealand, the Family Party (in collaboration with pakeha fundamentalist Peter Mortlock’s City Impact Church), Vision New Zealand (headed by Hannah Tamaki) and now this one. Mainstream Maori won’t vote for him and the anti-vaxxers are split between Freedom NZ, the One Party and New Conservatives, as are religious social conservatives.
