The exemptions in respect of ANY GOVERNMENT MANDATES are VERY WIDE.
So wide, it is hard to see how ANYONE in New Zealand could not legitimately qualify for an exemption. (And this is deliberate - the government knows the health risks of wearing mask.)
At the broadest the exemption covers:
? Any condition - physical or mental - that makes wearing a face covering unsuitable.
? However the issue that is arising this week is that (as inevitably given various directions by the powers that be) PRIVATE BUSINESSES are taking it upon themselves to insist that masks be worn and to refuse exemptions.
Any business trying to tell you they are enforcing government mandates by not allowing you enter without a mask when you confirm to them that you have an exemption is NOT enforcing a government mandate. Instead this business is prohibiting you from entering their business based on its own rules.
In doing so the owners of these businesses are assuming personal liability for discriminating against those without masks and are opening themselves up to significant liability in respect of serious negative repercussions for those persons prohibited from entry.
Please visit https://www.voicesforfreedom.co.nz/mask-mini-kit for access to our template letters and updates. The information in this video will also be updated as it related to the Order No 9. However, as at 3 October the law remained in practice the same as previously in respect of customers visiting businesses.
? You can review the Order here: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2021/0263/latest/whole.html#whole
? You can see the Unite Against Covid page referred to in the video here: https://covid19.govt.nz/health-and-wellbeing/protect-yourself-and-others-from-covid-19/wear-a-face-covering/
? This is the DPA website that the MOH refers you to from United Against Covid: https://www.dpa.org.nz/resources/covid-19-information-for-the-disabled-community#exempt
Many media and government websites are misleading in that are not making it clear to readers that exemptions DO exist.
Some of these exemptions are set out as specifically relevant to masks. Some of them apply more broadly to the entire Order.
You do not need to wear a mask if you have ANY condition - physical or mental - that makes wearing a face covering UNSUITABLE.
Also...
? You are not required to have medical certificate for your exemption.
? You are not required to get the "official exemption card".
? You are not required carry any paperwork/card with you.
? You are not required to state you have an exemption.
? You are not required to state the reasons for your exemption.
However, in practice you might choose to have a card and carry it and you might choose to say you have an exemption as unfortunately the majority of NZ public are deliberately not well educated on these points and being whipped into a frenzy to self police.
The government legislation provides wide exemptions (and for good reason - the government is motivated not to be legally on the hook for having legal claims via ACC since mask wearing has the potential to cause serious adverse health events). Instead the modus operandi is for the private sector to conveniently play the police in these matters.

P.S. What did the Advertising Standards Authority have to say about our Mask Flyer:
Consumer Takeout:
The Complaints Board agreed the likely consumer takeout of the advertisement was: in the Advertiser’s view, masks aren’t as good as we’ve been told. This is because they’re ineffective and cause pollution. Consumers can also seek exemptions from wearing them.
Were any of the statements in the leaflet misleading?
The Complaints Board agreed that none of the six statements made in the advertisement were misleading, because they had been adequately substantiated in the context of advocacy advertising.

Overall figures show Kiwis are more apathetic than ever at the polls. However, there is a group of people who are taking an interest. And our friends in mainstream media and the Disinformation Project are finding it a bitter pill to swallow.
'Aotearoa Disinformation Expert' Dr Sanjana Hattotuwa went on Breakfast TV to lament the high voting interest from the freedom community.
“The most interested in exercising their franchise, from what we study, come from the mis and disinformation communities. They’re the most motivated, they’re the most intentional, they do the most research and they really want to go out and vote and they are ... by order of magnitude exceeding other campaigns put out by LGNZ and the Vote 2022 Campaign… So it’s not good: they are instrumentalizing the voter apathy and the most interested voting is coming from the mis and disinformation communities.”
Voter turnout is at an all time low. This means your voice will have more weight than ever before. Make it count. Vote this morning.
