# 2026 New Zealand general election: Disability rights and fair treatment

Your circumstances raise some important questions for evaluating political parties: not just whether they support disabled people in principle, but whether their policies would make everyday life more secure, affordable and fair.

Given that you rely on income support, have a long-term health condition and need regular medical appointments, I would focus on six areas:

1. Income support: Whether benefits provide an adequate standard of living and keep pace with the cost of living.
2. Disability recognition: Whether people with long-term health conditions are treated fairly, including conditions that are not immediately visible.
3. Work obligations: Whether people with limited work capacity are protected from inappropriate work requirements, sanctions and unfair assessments.
4. Healthcare access: Whether GP visits, prescriptions, specialist appointments and ongoing treatment are affordable and accessible.
5. Government treatment: Whether Work and Income and other agencies treat people with dignity, respect, consistency and procedural fairness.
6. Disability rights: Whether parties support disabled people's participation, independence, accessibility and protection from discrimination.

An important distinction is between promises to help people into employment and policies that protect people who cannot work, or can only work limited hours, because of their health.

## What the main parties are proposing

The following comparison draws on the parties' published policies and disability-sector analysis available as at 31 October 2026. The election is scheduled for 7 November 2026.

### 1. Labour

Focus: rights-based reform and healthcare

Labour's proposals include:

- Repealing and rewriting the Disability Support Services Act, with disabled people, carers and representative organisations involved in designing the replacement.
- Ending annual benefit renewals for people with verified permanent disabilities.
- Amending the Human Rights Act to define reasonable accommodation and recognise refusal to provide it as discrimination.
- Progressing legal recognition of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
- Providing three free GP visits annually through a proposed Medicare-style card.
- Making prescriptions free from July 2027.
- Introducing a $20 weekly public transport fare cap in Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington.

Why this matters: Ending annual reassessments for people with permanent disabilities could reduce the stress and administrative burden of repeatedly proving an established condition. The healthcare proposals could also help with regular appointments and prescription costs.

### 2. Green Party

Focus: disability rights and adequate income

The Greens have proposed:

- A dedicated disability rights law based on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
- Enforceable accessibility standards for public buildings, transport, services and digital information.
- Increasing main benefit levels to provide a liveable income.
- Making disability-related income support accessible and timely, covering additional living and medical costs regardless of relationship status.
- Removing AI from welfare decisions, including benefit suspensions and sanctions.
- Reintroducing a 75% government subsidy for the Total Mobility taxi scheme.
- Removing barriers to healthcare, transport and disability services.
- Using the Enabling Good Lives approach to give disabled people greater choice and control.

Why this matters: The Greens have particularly broad proposals addressing financial security, disability rights and the way government agencies make decisions. Their position on relationship-based benefit assessments is also relevant to people receiving Supported Living Payment.

### 3. Te Pāti Māori

Focus: income adequacy and removing financial penalties

Its proposals include:

- Doubling baseline benefit levels.
- Removing benefit sanctions, financial penalties and work-test obligations.
- Making benefits individual rather than dependent on relationship status.
- Increasing income thresholds before benefits are reduced when someone earns additional income.
- Cancelling income-support-related debt owed to the Crown.
- Ensuring disability services are integrated with health and mental health services.
- Creating a Māori-led disability authority.
- Giving disabled Māori and their whānau a central role in disability-service decisions.
- Upholding the UN disability rights convention and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Why this matters: Te Pāti Māori has particularly strong proposals around reducing financial hardship and removing punitive welfare requirements. Its approach to individualised benefits could be significant for people whose relationships affect their eligibility or payments.

### 4. National

Focus: service funding and system stability

National's approach has emphasised:

- Maintaining and funding disability support services.
- Continuing the New Zealand Disability Strategy 2026–2030.
- Providing more consistent disability support funding.
- Giving disabled people greater choice and control over some support funding following controversy over earlier restrictions.
- Establishing a five-year funding commitment of $1.1 billion for disability support services, announced in 2024.

National does not have a comparable set of specific new disability policies for this election in the analysis published by CCS Disability Action.

Why this matters: National's emphasis is more on the organisation and financial sustainability of disability services than on introducing new enforceable disability rights or substantially changing benefit entitlements.

One important issue to examine is how the Disability Support Services Act 2026 affects your ability to access support and how much control you have over decisions affecting you.

[How do the different parties fare on disability issues this election?](https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/30-09-2026/how-do-the-different-parties-fare-on-disability-issues-this-election)[Election 2026: Political Parties Policy Analysis](https://www.ccsdisabilityaction.org.nz/news/policy-analysis-2026)[Party policies, simplified: Disability policy](https://thedlist.co.nz/newsfeed/party-policies-simplified-disability-policy/)

### 5. ACT New Zealand

Focus: eligibility rules and individual assessment

ACT's proposals include:

- Independent medical certification against defined criteria for health and disability benefits.
- Reassessing existing benefit recipients in phases.
- Having assessments conducted by doctors approved by the Ministry of Social Development rather than necessarily by a person's own GP or specialist.
- Targeting support according to individual need.
- Introducing electronic payment cards for Jobseeker Support recipients classified as work-ready who remain on a benefit for more than four months.

Why this matters: The independent medical assessment proposal deserves particular attention if you depend on ongoing income support. You would want to understand how assessors would recognise complex, fluctuating or long-term conditions, and what happens if you disagree with an assessment.

ACT's proposals are more focused on eligibility, assessment and welfare administration than on creating new disability rights protections.

### 6. New Zealand First

New Zealand First's published disability-specific proposals are less extensive than those of Labour, the Greens and Te Pāti Māori.

- It supported the Disability Support Services Act 2026.
- It has not set out a similarly detailed programme of new disability rights, benefit reforms or accessibility legislation in the disability policy comparisons available.
- Its broader policies include transport and regional infrastructure.

Why this matters: There is less specific policy information to assess concerning benefit security, medical costs, disability-related assessments and protections when dealing with Work and Income.

[Election 2026: Political Parties Policy Analysis](https://www.ccsdisabilityaction.org.nz/news/policy-analysis-2026)[Party policies, simplified: Disability policy](https://thedlist.co.nz/newsfeed/party-policies-simplified-disability-policy/)

### 7. The Opportunities Party (TOP)

Focus: simplified income support and joined-up services

TOP has proposed:

- A Citizen's Income of up to $370 per week for almost all adults, replacing most existing benefits, including Jobseeker Support and Supported Living Payment.
- Additional top-up assistance for disabled people and other groups.
- A 'Tell Us Once' system, so people with long-term support needs do not repeatedly have to provide the same information or undergo unnecessary assessments.
- Accessible government information and services.
- Working with disability organisations to design policies.
- Supporting disabled people's independence and decision-making rights.
- Free public transport for everyone.

Why this matters: The Tell Us Once proposal is particularly relevant to people who regularly have to explain their health circumstances to different government agencies. However, the important question is how the proposed Citizen's Income and disability top-ups would compare with your existing total support.

TOP did not respond to some disability-sector policy questionnaires, so some of its positions require further clarification.

[Election 2026: Political Parties Policy Analysis](https://www.ccsdisabilityaction.org.nz/news/policy-analysis-2026)[Party policies, simplified: Disability policy](https://thedlist.co.nz/newsfeed/party-policies-simplified-disability-policy/)

## Comparing the parties on the issues most relevant to you

This is perhaps the most useful way to look at the differences.

| Your concern | Parties with particularly relevant proposals |
| --- | --- |
| Protecting benefit income | Greens, Te Pāti Māori |
| Reducing repeated medical reassessments | Labour |
| Protecting against unfair welfare decisions | Greens, Labour |
| Removing relationship-based benefit penalties | Greens, Te Pāti Māori |
| Affordable GP visits and prescriptions | Labour, Greens, Te Pāti Māori |
| Independent disability rights protections | Greens, Labour |
| Less repetitive government paperwork | TOP |
| Individual medical assessment and eligibility rules | ACT |
| Maintaining existing disability service funding | National |

This is a comparison of policy emphasis, not a ranking of parties or a guarantee that any proposal will be implemented.

## What does fair treatment by government agencies actually mean?

I think this deserves particular attention in your situation.

When dealing with Work and Income (MSD), Health New Zealand and other government agencies, consider whether a party supports:

- Recognition of permanent conditions: Not having to repeatedly demonstrate that an established, permanent health condition still exists.
- Reasonable accommodation: Being allowed extra time, accessible communication, support people or alternative appointment arrangements when necessary.
- Transparent decisions: Being told why a benefit or disability support application has been declined or reduced.
- Independent appeals: Having a meaningful way to challenge decisions without being disadvantaged.
- Protection from inappropriate sanctions: Not being penalised for failing to meet employment requirements that your health makes unreasonable.
- Privacy and dignity: Not having to repeatedly disclose sensitive medical information to different government departments.
- Human involvement: Not having important decisions about your financial security made solely by automated systems.

The Greens' proposal to remove AI from welfare payment decisions, Labour's proposed reasonable-accommodation protections, and TOP's Tell Us Once proposal are especially relevant to these concerns.

## An important resource: the 2026 Disability Election Scorecard

Independent disability-sector comparison

The Disabled Persons Assembly, CCS Disability Action and Your Way | Kia Roha have published a scorecard asking seven political parties the same ten questions.

It covers:

- Legal disability rights.
- The Disability Support Services Act.
- Disabled people's involvement in government decisions.
- Relationship-related financial penalties.
- Disability Allowance increases.
- Accessibility legislation.
- Education and support funding.
- Abuse in care recommendations.

The scorecard reports parties' own Yes, No or Undecided responses. It does not endorse a party.

## My suggested questions before deciding your vote

I would pay particular attention to these five questions when reading party manifestos or questioning local candidates:

1. Will you protect my income if my health condition means I cannot work?
2. Will you prevent unnecessary medical reassessments for people with permanent disabilities?
3. Will you ensure Work and Income cannot unfairly penalise people because of their disability or health limitations?
4. Will you help meet the additional costs of medical appointments, prescriptions, transport and disability-related living expenses?
5. Will you give disabled people enforceable rights when government agencies make decisions affecting their lives?

One further consideration: a party's voting record on the Disability Support Services Act 2026 is worth examining alongside its promises. The Greens and Labour opposed or criticised the legislation, while National, ACT and New Zealand First supported it. [How do the different parties fare on disability issues this election?](https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/30-09-2026/how-do-the-different-parties-fare-on-disability-issues-this-election)[Party policies, simplified: Disability policy](https://thedlist.co.nz/newsfeed/party-policies-simplified-disability-policy/)

## My overall assessment

Based on the published policies, three parties stand out for different reasons:

- The Green Party: Particularly comprehensive proposals on disability rights, adequate income, accessibility and protections in welfare administration.
- Labour: Particularly relevant proposals on permanent disability benefit reviews, reasonable accommodation, disability legislation and affordable healthcare.
- Te Pāti Māori: Particularly strong proposals on benefit adequacy, removing sanctions and relationship-related financial penalties, and Māori-led disability services.

TOP is also worth examining for its proposed simplified income support and government-service arrangements.

That does not automatically make any one party the right choice. The details of implementation, funding and eligibility matter enormously.

One final point: You should not have to choose between having a health condition and having financial security, dignity and independence. Those are important standards against which to judge every party.

I can also prepare a more detailed comparison specifically examining which parties are most likely to protect someone receiving Supported Living Payment, Disability Allowance and ongoing medical support, including the potential risks of each party's proposals.

As New Zealand heads toward the **2026 General Election**, political parties have outlined divergent approaches to disability rights, the structure of disability support services, income support (such as the Supported Living Payment or Disability Allowance), and how government agencies (like the Ministry of Social Development and MSD-administered services) interact with disabled people. 

The positions of the major parties and key groupings reflect distinct philosophies regarding welfare, individual choice, and systemic reform:

---

### 1. National Party / Government-Aligned Approach
* **Focus on Systemic Stability and Consistency:** Rather than a standalone disability manifesto, National's approach emphasizes the financial stability and sustainability of Disability Support Services (DSS) and creating national consistency in how care is delivered.
* **Strategy & Planning:** They support a refreshed *New Zealand Disability Strategy (2026–2030)* covering areas like health, housing, education, and employment, alongside a refreshed New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) Strategy for the Deaf community. 
* **Government Services:** The emphasis leans heavily toward fiscal accountability, managing cost pressures within the social support system, and streamlining service delivery, though they do not currently back legally enforceable accessibility standards.

### 2. Labour Party
* **Rights-Based Framework:** Labour frames its policies firmly around the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and the *Enabling Good Lives* principles, emphasizing self-determination, choice, and control.
* **Disability Support Legislation:** A core component of Labour's platform is opposing and seeking to repeal recent or proposed structural changes by the current government to disability support legislation, aiming to protect individualized funding and flexible purchasing guidelines.
* **Government Services & Welfare:** Labour generally targets reducing administrative friction for disabled people navigating MSD, increasing support for disability-related costs, and protecting benefit adequacy.

### 3. Green Party
* **Comprehensive Welfare and Income Reform:** The Greens place a heavy focus on the intersection of disability, poverty, and income support. Their platform includes significantly raising main benefit levels (such as the Supported Living Payment), making supplementary grants easier to access without repayment obligations, and removing punitive sanctions or work-test obligations.
* **Eliminating Relationship Means Testing (The "Love Tax"):** The Greens advocate for removing partner-income rules that reduce or eliminate support for disabled people based on a partner’s earnings.
* **System Design & Bureaucracy:** They support removing rigid, deficit-based assessments, removing automated/AI decision-making tools from welfare management, and integrating disability support so it is not siloed from broader health and social services.

### 4. ACT New Zealand
* **Individual Responsibility and Smaller Government:** ACT does not feature a detailed standalone disability manifesto, preferring an overarching philosophy of individual choice, spending accountability, and streamlined, market-oriented solutions.
* **Welfare & Medical Oversight:** ACT’s broader welfare framework emphasizes tighter criteria and independent medical certification for health and disability-related benefits, alongside periodic reassessments of existing recipients. 
* **Funding Models:** Where they support individualized funding, it is framed through streamlined, cash-like models aimed at reducing government bureaucracy and increasing personal accountability over spending.

### 5. Te Pāti Māori & The Opportunities Party (TOP)
* **Te Pāti Māori:** Focuses on a Whānau-centric, Māori-led health and social support system, aiming to address systemic inequities faced by *tāngata whaikaha Māori* (Māori disabled people) and embedding disability support into broader community and cultural wellbeing models.
* **The Opportunities Party (TOP):** Proposes structural shifts such as a **Citizen’s Income** model (replacing traditional benefits with a universal baseline plus targeted top-ups for disabled people), alongside a "Tell Us Once" mechanism across government departments to prevent people from having to repeatedly prove their medical conditions across health, ACC, and MSD. They also advocate for ending sub-minimum wage exemptions for disabled workers.

---

### Key Themes to Consider for Your Vote
When evaluating these options against your situation—balancing regular medical appointments, reliance on income support, and interactions with government agencies—parties generally split on:
1. **Adequacy and Rules of Income Support:** Whether benefits should be substantially increased and freed from partner-income rules and work tests (Greens, Te Pāti Māori, TOP) versus maintaining strict fiscal baselines, independent medical checks, and mutual obligations (National, ACT).
2. **Bureaucracy vs. "Enabling" Models:** Whether the priority is protecting flexible, individualized funding models and human rights frameworks (Labour, Greens, TOP) or driving administrative efficiency, consistency, and tighter fiscal oversight (National, ACT).

Are there particular aspects of your support—such as navigating MSD benefit obligations, covering medical costs, or accessing funding for daily care—that weigh most heavily on your decision?

When considering your vote in the context of relying on income support, managing a long-term health condition, and navigating government services, New Zealand’s political parties approach disability rights, welfare, and state services through distinct philosophies.

A summary of key policy directions from major political parties highlights how they address these areas:

 * **Labour Party**
 * **Income Support & Welfare:** Proposes ending annual benefit reviews for individuals with permanent and verifiable disabilities.
 * **Government Services & Disability Support:** Plans to repeal and redraft the Disabled People-Led Monitoring or Disability Support Services (DSS) legislation with direct input from disabled people to improve service accessibility. Also pledges immediate pay increases for care and support workers.

 * **Green Party**
 * **Income Support & Welfare:** Advocates for increasing main benefit levels to a guaranteed, liveable income and providing timely financial support for disability-related living and medical costs regardless of relationship status. Proposes a "Citizen’s Income" framework to streamline and replace standard benefits with tailored top-ups for disabled people.
 * **Government Services & Wellbeing:** Emphasizes better resourcing for underfunded basic health and community support services, and removing accessibility barriers across public infrastructure and housing.

 * **Te Pāti Māori**
 * **Income Support & Welfare:** Focuses on poverty reduction by cancelling income-support-related debt owed to the Crown, ensuring financial grants do not require repayment, and expanding Special Needs Grants to reflect broader community and cultural costs.
 * **Government Services & Disability Support:** Advocates for establishing a Māori-led authority to design and deliver disability services, ensuring disabled Māori (_Tangata Hauā_) and their families (_Whānau Hauā_) lead decision-making, while integrating disability support with broader health and social services.

 * **National, ACT, and New Zealand First**
 * **Welfare & Work Incentives:** These parties generally emphasize active work-test obligations and rehabilitative or employment-focused transitions for beneficiaries who have the capacity to work, aiming to reduce long-term dependency on welfare.
 * **Government Services:** Their focus tends to center on fiscal restraint, streamlining public spending, and shifting service delivery models toward operational efficiency and accountability within agencies like Work and Income (MSD) and health authorities.

Detailed Party Positions

National Party

The National Party focuses on fiscal sustainability and consistent management of public systems. Following recent funding re-allocations—such as removing ring-fencing around certain lottery disability funds—their strategy emphasizes stabilizing public services. Rather than overhauling income support levels, the party points to its newly launched **Disability Strategy 2026–2030** , which seeks to implement practical updates to healthcare access, education, and employment support over a five-year horizon.

Labour Party

The Labour Party is campaigning on reducing frontline healthcare barriers and addressing what it describes as unfair bureaucratic hurdles. To make medical appointments more accessible, they have pledged a **"Medicard" providing three free GP visits per year** alongside free prescriptions. When dealing with WINZ, Labour explicitly promises to **end annual benefit reviews** for individuals with permanent, verified disabilities so they do not have to continuously reprove their condition. They also pledge to repeal and rewrite the government's recent Disability Support Services legislation in close partnership with the disability community. labour.org.nzLabour's 2026 Election PoliciesLabour's 2026 Election Policies in Auckland and Wellington by The Oceanic Press on Facebook - 1 minute 30 seconds

Green Party

The Green Party offers an explicitly rights-based, systemic overhaul. Their platform aims to deliver a **Guaranteed Minimum Income** and raise baseline benefits to liveable rates. Crucially for couples, they support **de-coupling benefits from relationship status** , ensuring a partner's income does not reduce your individual support. Regarding government interactions, the Greens want to legally ban the use of AI and automated algorithms in making welfare status or sanction decisions and pass comprehensive, enforceable accessibility laws. blindlowvision.org.nzDisability-Related Party Policies BreakdownHow do the different parties fare on disability issues this election? | The Spinoff

ACT New Zealand

The ACT Party approaches public services through the lens of smaller government, individual freedom, and fiscal restraint. ACT favors direct, individualized funding models that give clients choice over their care rather than relying on state-directed programs. However, their broader welfare platform emphasizes **tightening benefit obligations** and reducing public spending, which includes cutting down the size of government ministries to reduce bureaucratic overhead. stories.theconversation.comElection policy tracker: what the parties are promising

Te Pāti Māori

Te Pāti Māori targets the structural causes of poverty and institutional bias within state systems. Their platform seeks to **cancel all income-support-related debt owed to the Crown** and ensure future emergency grants do not have to be paid back. To ensure fair treatment, they advocate for the creation of an autonomous, Māori-led disability authority. This body would be tasked with redesigning and delivering support services to remove cultural barriers and ensure disability care is fully integrated with broader mental wellbeing and medical services. ccsdisabilityaction.org.nz

New Zealand First

New Zealand First emphasizes equal citizenship under one law. While they support protecting the core tenants of the **UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD)** , they strongly oppose inserting Treaty of Waitangi principles into disability or general public service legislation. Their income support policies generally center on safeguarding NZ Superannuation rather than rolling out specific disability benefit adjustments. ccsdisabilityaction.org.nzElection resources - CCS Disability Action
