Integrity Institute, through its director Bryce Edwards and the Integrity Briefing publication, is actively exposing instances of crony capitalism in government procurement and policymaking. The institution’s efforts highlight conflicts of interest and promote transparency and accountability in public governance, aligning with anti-authoritarian, progressive values.

Integrity Institute published a detailed lobbying register and engaged with Members of Parliament and media outlets to advocate for reform in New Zealand’s opaque lobbying practices. The initiative challenges entrenched corporate influence and calls for greater political accountability, despite receiving legal threats from lobby groups.

The Integrity Institute has launched an unauthorised NZ Lobbying & Influence Register aimed at exposing opaque lobbying practices and the influence of elite groups on New Zealand politics. The initiative is presented as a radical, watchdog campaign that contrasts with more moderate reform efforts, promising to bring transparency to an under-regulated sector.

Director Bryce Edwards announced the launch of a new research and advocacy campaign aimed at scrutinizing and challenging the undue influence of lobbying and vested interests in New Zealand politics. The campaign calls for an independent Integrity Commission and reforms in campaign finance regulation to enhance transparency and accountability.
