Andy McKay @korimakoecology.bsky.social · 06/02/2026I'm not aware of any evidence that suggests spearfishers/recreational fishers would support NZ First over any other party. They aren't a strong voting bloc with collective politics. Kind of like saying NZ First has lost All Blacks fans. 120
Andy McKay @korimakoecology.bsky.social · 06/02/2026A 2014 "Tip The Scales" campaign run by Legasea had 17,000 sign up, or around 0.6% of voters in the 2023 general election. A 2017 Legasea campaign showed their policies best aligned with the Green Party but I doubt many people changed their votes because of it. legasea.co.nz/2017/09/11/p... 130
Tony Hafoka Ao NZ TON @ahafoka.bsky.social · 06/02/2026I am a little involved in Spearfishing and rec fishing. It’s a “broad Church” with folks from all political persuasions but I’ve also observed many who may have voted for NZ First in the past are turning away because of Shane Jones antics 260
