NZDA Policy on Support for Political Parties
The New Zealand Deerstalkers Association Incorporated supports policies rather than political parties.
We endorse policies that support the historic rights and privileges of responsible recreational game harvesters and shooters, and we support policies that penalise lawbreakers.
Most political parties with members in the house have some members who support the existing rights and privileges of game harvesters.
Some parties have such policies in their manifestos.
Other parties and individual members of parliament seek to nullify the rights and privileges we hold as our birthright.
NZDA Position: The Association recommends that members support politicians and parties that endorse the rights and privileges of responsible game harvesters and firearm users.
This Policy was passed by annual conferences up to and including the 2017 Conference.
