TheIntegrity Party of Aotearoa New Zealand (TIPANZ) was an unregistered political party inNew Zealand.[1] It was a progressive-centrist party, with an ideology ofHauora (well-being),equality, andintegrity.[2] It was led by Helen Cartwright[3] with Troy Mihaka as deputy.[4]
The party was founded by formerSustainable New Zealand Party secretary Helen Cartwright and formerWellington local body candidate Troy Mihaka.[2] Mihaka stood for election to Wellington City Council in 2019 for the centre-right Wellington Party.[5]
The party intended to run both list and electorate candidates in New Zealand's2020 election,[6] but did not register so was unable to receive party votes.[7] It ran two electoral candidates: Cartwright inMana[8] and Mihaka inRongotai.[9] In July 2020 Mihaka's candidate signs were painted with racist abuse, apparently due to the authorisation statement being written in theMāori language.[10][11] Cartwright said in September 2020 that "If 100 people vote for me, I will be rapt; if 1000 people vote for me, I will do somersaults."[12]
Neither candidate was successful; Cartwright received 360 votes, coming 7th,[13] and Mihaka received 162, coming 8th.[14]
The party did not run any candidates in the2023 general election.[15]
