Freedom Party (New Zealand)
The
Freedom Party is a political party in
New Zealand. It was founded by
Gareth Turner and
Paul King, formerly members of the
ACT New Zealand party. The party was announced on
13 March 2005, the same day that Turner failed to unseat
Catherine Judd as president of ACT. Turner and King claimed that the leaders of ACT were ignoring ordinary members, and were too closely influenced by big business. Turner claimed that the party would have enough support to register for the
2005 elections, but this did not occur. The party did not nominate any candidates.
