Fairness. Evidence. Reform.
FIXNZ is an independent civic initiative exploring the structural issues shaping New Zealand.
We bring together evidence, public discussion and practical reform ideas to help build a fairer, stronger and more sustainable country.
About FIXNZ
Why FIXNZ Exists
New Zealand’s biggest problems rarely have a single cause.
Housing costs, weak productivity, pressure on public services, insecure work and declining trust are connected to deeper systems of planning, taxation, investment, governance and political incentives.
FIXNZ exists to examine those connections clearly and make the evidence easier for the public to use.
What We Do
Research the Evidence
We collect data, reports, official sources and international comparisons.
Explain the System
We show how policies, institutions and incentives interact.
Develop Reform Options
We turn evidence into practical ideas that can be tested and debated.
Support Public Participation
We provide tools that help people question, share and act on reliable information.
How FIXNZ Works
What Makes FIXNZ Different
Independent
FIXNZ is not controlled by a political party, government agency or commercial sponsor.
Evidence-Led
Claims should be supported by sources, data and transparent reasoning.
Open to Challenge
No proposal should be protected from criticism, revision or disagreement.
You do not have to agree with FIXNZ to take part.
Our Main Areas of Work
Standards We Try to Follow
Credibility depends not on always being right, but on being transparent, careful and willing to improve.
Transparency
Sources
Reports and major factual claims should link back to their original sources.
Corrections
Material errors should be corrected and clearly acknowledged.
Funding and Influence
Any significant funding, partnership or conflict of interest should be disclosed.
FROM EVIDENCE TO ACTION
Evidence is more useful when people can examine it, challenge it and act on it.
