during the parliament protest, tamaki launched a new umbrella political party called "freedoms nz" which consists of the new nation party, vision new zealand, and the nz outdoors & freedom party. during the 23rd august parliament protest, rick southey, the non-clinical national manager of whānau ora community clinic (wocc), officiated over a "mock trial" where he condemned the government's covid-19 lockdowns and vaccine mandates as "crimes against humanity." another participant in the trial was "prosecutor" heka robertson. southey is a member of destiny church and had supported tamaki's protest. following a complaint by another wocc staff member, the clinic's director george ngatai, who is a fellow member of destiny church and vision new zealand candidate, suspended southey from his duties pending a review by wocc chairwoman leainne nathan and other representatives, who were not affiliated with destiny church. notes and references somerville, troes (2 november 2021).
