1Law4All Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1Law4All is a political party in New Zealand. The party launched in June 2013 and is temporarily led by Tom Johnson.[1] The party supports a colour-blind New Zealand,[2] including removing references to the Treaty of Waitangi from legislation, abolition of the Waitangi Tribunal and Māori electorates, repeal of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011, and withdrawal from the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.[3]

The party used Northland farmer Allan Titford as a poster-boy for its policies, highlighting claims that he had been forced off his farm by a campaign of vandalism and arson by local Maori.[4] When Titford was convicted of rape and arson charges,[5] the party distanced itself from him and sanitised its website.[6]
