Porirua mayoral candidate linked to anti-vaccination group

Gible from Whitby

A Porirua mayoralty candidate has co-hosted webinars with an anti-vaccination/anti-mandate group and shared conspiracy theories and disinformation on social media.

Nicole Foss​, an economist originally from Canada who previously lived at the failed Atamai eco village in Nelson’s Motueka Valley, is also running for a council seat for the Pāuatahanui ward.

She appeared on five videos on the Voices For Freedom (VFF) website in June and July – alongside one of the group’s co-founder Alia Bland​ – where she made references to conspiracy theories like the New World Order.
