Identifying and addressing matters of public concern where state authority intersects with the rights and freedoms of New Zealanders.
Public Open Letter to the Prime Minister
Evidential Foundation for the Conclusion that Comirnaty (BNT162b2) Is Considered Safe for Use in New Zealand
11 March 2026 — Addressed to the Rt Hon Christopher Luxon and all Ministers of the Crown
This open letter raises concerns regarding the evidential basis relied upon by the Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned in forming conclusions about the safety of the Comirnaty vaccine. The letter examines whether the safety conclusion rests primarily on sponsor-derived information and calls for an independent scientific review.
Commitment to the Rule of Law
Justice Watch New Zealand Inc. is founded upon a fundamental constitutional principle: the Rule of Law. We believe that all persons are equal before the law. No office holder, institution, or arm of the State is above it.
Public power must be exercised lawfully, rationally, and in a manner consistent with the rights and freedoms guaranteed to the people of New Zealand.
We support New Zealand's democratic system of government and the constitutional choices made by the New Zealand people through Parliament. Democratic authority is strengthened — not weakened — by lawful restraint and accountability.
Constitutional and Legal Protections
New Zealanders are protected by a framework of domestic and international law designed to restrain state power and safeguard individual rights.
The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 affirms and protects fundamental civil and political rights, including the right to life, freedom from cruel or degrading treatment, the right to refuse medical treatment, protection from unreasonable search or seizure, and the right to natural justice.
New Zealand is also bound internationally by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which protects the inherent right to life, equality before the law, and freedom from arbitrary interference.
Constitutional protections are enforceable. In Fitzgerald v R [2021] NZSC 131, the Supreme Court confirmed that serious breaches of protected rights require effective remedies. The State must remain within the limits of lawful authority, and accountability mechanisms exist where it does not.
Our Work
Justice Watch New Zealand Inc. stands for democratic government under law, equal protection of rights, and the enduring principle that the law governs the State.
We undertake research — including examination of public records, use of the Official Information Act 1982, and engagement with judicial and regulatory processes — to highlight matters of public concern. Our work includes advocacy, standing up for individuals whose rights have been affected, and promoting constructive legal and legislative reform.
