The National Socialist Party of New Zealand, sometimes called the New Zealand Nazi Party, was a far-right political party in New Zealand. It promulgated the same basic views as Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party in Germany, and had a particular focus on Arabs, Jews and the banking sector.
From 1969 the party was led by Colin King-Ansell.[1] The party came to national attention in 1970 when King-Ansell claimed in a television interview that it included police among its members.[2] The party would be dominated by King-Ansell for the duration of its existence. King-Ansell was the party's sole candidate, and contested several elections.[3]
The party contested the 1972 New Zealand general election on a platform of social credit and establishing trading relations with the Republic of Rhodesia.[4] King-Ansell stood in the Eden electorate, winning 35 votes.[5] He stood again in Eden in 1975,[5] and in 1978 he contested the seat of Onehunga,[6] winning 18 votes.[7]
The party dissolved in 1980.
