- Campaign Against Foreign Control of Aotearoa (CAFCA)
-
CAFCA promotes the concept of an independent Aotearoa based on policies of economic, military and political self-reliance, using Aotearoa's resources for the benefit of the people of Aotearoa, and refusing involvement in the self-serving military and economic treaties of big foreign countries. We oppose foreign control, irrespective of which country it involves. We oppose the exploitation of Aotearoa's people and resources by foreign companies, and any foreign military or intelligence activities in Aotearoa. CAFCA does not support the replacement of foreign exploiters with local ones. New Zealand big business interests are collaborating with foreign companies in the exploitation of its own country - its only loyalty is to improve profits. CAFCA IS NOT RACIST. We do not oppose the people of foreign countries, only the transnational corporations (TNC's) exploiting the people of New Zealand.

- Campaign Against The Taser
-
A coalition including the Human Rights Foundation, Global Peace and Justice Auckland, the Peace Foundation, Peace Movement Aotearoa, the Council of Trade Unions, Auckland University Law School's Equal Justice Project and others, has been formed to campaign against the police plans to trial the Taser stun gun from September this year. The Taser is a gun that fires two steel barbs attached to wires which penetrate the skin and then deliver a 50,000 volt electric shock to the victim. CATT is opposed to the trial because more than 150 people have died overseas as a result of being tasered; NZ police are not routinely armed (apart from Armed Offenders Squads) and guns, of any kind, should not be introduced without independent investigation and robust public debate; police overseas have used them to enforce "compliance" on victims; there has been no independent evaluation of the taser before its introduction announced by police; and NZ police have shown they are unable to follow guidelines on use of pepper spray so why would their use of tasers be any different?
