LFG is built on a simple idea: vested interests have professional lobbyists. Everyday New Zealanders should too. Every new member funds more tools, more data, and more of a voice in the rooms where decisions are made.

Lobbying is the organised attempt to influence government decisions. Every major industry, every large corporation, and every well-funded interest group employs people whose full-time job is to shape the laws and policies that affect you. Most New Zealanders have never heard of this. That is not an accident.
Vested interests operate across the political spectrum. Pharmaceutical companies, property developers, energy firms, and financial institutions all lobby governments of every colour. The question is never which party - it's whose interests are being served.
Your rates, your rent, your healthcare costs, your water quality, your kids' school funding - all of these are shaped by decisions that lobbyists are paid to influence. You just don't usually find out until after the decision is made.
LFG exists to give everyday New Zealanders the same tools, the same information, and the same collective voice that professional lobbyists have. The more members we have, the louder that voice gets - and the harder it is to ignore.
Every milestone is a commitment. When we reach it, we build it. No venture capital, no advertising revenue, no political donors - just members funding the civic tools New Zealand needs.
Live Civic Intelligence Dashboard
Real-time aggregated data on what issues matter most to New Zealanders - by region, council, and category. Available to Voice tier and B2B clients.
Regional Issue Heatmap
Interactive map showing the top civic concerns in every region, updated as members submit issues and vote in polls.
Election Deadline Alerts
Push notifications and email reminders for every key election milestone - enrolment deadline, advance voting, election day - personalised to your region.
Why this number?
At 500 members we have enough signal across enough regions to make the data meaningful. Below that threshold, heatmaps and trend lines would misrepresent the picture. This is the point where LFG stops being a tool and starts being a platform.
Every three years, New Zealanders get to decide who runs the country. But the decisions that shape the next three years are being made right now - in select committees, in council chambers, in ministerial offices - by people with professional representation. LFG is how you get a seat at that table.
No advertising. No political donors. No venture capital. Just members.
Tracking council votes, policy promises, and MP voting records across New Zealand requires ongoing data work. Your membership funds the people and systems that keep it accurate and current.
The LFG Civic Advisor is trained on New Zealand law, policy, and civics. Keeping it accurate, up to date, and available to members requires ongoing compute and editorial work.
Generating legally grounded OIA requests, MP letters, and council submissions that actually work requires legal review, template maintenance, and regular updates as legislation changes.
The Justice Gap, the Mauao Landslide investigation, and future accountability investigations are funded by members - not advertisers with interests to protect.
When LFG reaches 5,000 members, your membership funds formal select committee submissions on behalf of member-endorsed positions. That is professional lobbying, funded by the public.
Free public resources explaining how lobbying works, how to read a council agenda, and how to participate in the democratic process - available to every New Zealander, regardless of membership.
From $15/month. Cancel any time. Every membership directly funds more civic tools, more data, and a louder voice for everyday New Zealanders.
