The results from my joint research project with Jack Vowles on party funding, supported by the Gama Foundation, have now all been published on this website:

Our research on party funding has been conducted as part of the 2023 New Zealand Election Study (NZES), which included a special module to examine how New Zealanders feel about political party funding and its impact on democracy. With ongoing debates and proposed reforms, the study provides valuable public opinion data on whether political donations influence policy-making and whether voters support changes to the current system.
The findings could help to inform electoral law reforms and have been submitted to the Justice Select Committee Inquiry into the 2023 New Zealand Election (see here) and partially also been published in the media (see here).
Additionally, the new website now also makes all video recordings from the talks given at a workshop on party funding, which we hosted at Victoria University in November 2024, available (see here).
