About

Why does
this exist?

New Zealand's political data is technically public — but it lives in dense tables, PDF filings, and hard-to-navigate government websites. Most people don't have the time or tools to dig through it.

NZPT exists to close that gap. The goal isn't to tell you what to think about the data — it's to make sure you can actually see it clearly in the first place.

Right now there are two tools: an urgency tracker that records every sitting day the current government has invoked urgency, and a financial dashboard that tracks donations over $20,000 to registered parties during the 2026 election year. More tools are planned.
