The New Zealand Family Rights Protection Party was a political party in New Zealand. Membership were primarily Pasifika New Zealanderss, on a platform that the established political parties did not give sufficient consideration to the concerns of Pacific Islanders in New Zealand.[ citation needed]
The party was approved for official registration on 7 March 2005. [1] It contested the 2005 elections and garnered 0.05% of the vote, [2] with the aim of a more serious attempt in the 2008 elections. It was reported[ by whom?] to have reached an informal agreement with the Māori Party not to compete against each other.[ citation needed] The Labour Party, which has traditionally received substantial support from Pacific Islanders, dismissed the new party's chances.[ citation needed]
In 2007, the party requested and received deregistration. [3]
