Anti-Vitamin Bill

The Anti-Vitamin Bill is a term given to The Therapeutic Products and Medicines Bill introduced to the New Zealand Parliament in 2005 by the then Health Minister, Annette King. This legislation, if passed, would have ratified the Joint Agency Treaty signed in 2003 by Minister King and Trish Worth, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health and Aging in Australia.

HFNZ Rebuttle to Annette King

Minister Annette Kings' Deceit of "Public Safety"

Public safety was the cry being used as the justification for The Therapeutic Products and Medicines Bill. One presumes then that there must have been an ongoing safety problem in the natural products industry? The facts are in stark contrast to Minister Annette King's statement on Television and Radio that there had been three deaths.

What's Wrong With Australia's TGA

The TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) is the Australian “regulator” of drugs, chemicals, medical devices and nutritional supplements and herbs which it calls “complementary medicines”. The TGA is a statutory body, created by an act of Parliament over 27 years ago. Its motto is “to ensure the safety of all Australians”.

Medsafe Witch Hunt 2007-2008

Medsafe Declare Silent War on Natural Health Practitioners & Manufacturers

In 2007 Medsafe began, what can only be called, a modern day witch hunt within the natural health industry. The bureaucracy began warning companies involved in the manufacture, distribution and advertising of natural products that any product they claim to have therapeutic use or benefit will result in significant consequences, including seizure of stock and prosecution.

Anti-Vitamin Bill - Current Status

Therapeutic Products and Medicines Bill Obsolete

Therapeutics Products and Medicines Bill on hold - After many years of lobbying and campaigning by the Natural Health Industry and the consumer driven Health Freedom Campaign, on 16th July 2007 the then Labour led Government Minister Annette King announced that it is not proceeding with legislation that would have enabled the establishment of ANZTPA, a joint agency with Australia to regulate therapeutic products.

History of the Anti-Vitamin Bill

In 2003 a Joint Agency Treaty was signed in 2003 by the New Zealand Health Minister, Annette King, and Trish Worth, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health and Aging in Australia. The Treaty is an agreement to bring in to being a trans-Tasman agency called ANZTPA - Australian New Zealand Therapeutic Products Agency. The new agency would do away with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (in theory at least) and MedSafe, the New Zealand regulator.

Health Freedom Triumphs

"Anti-Vitamin" Bill Campaign Achievements

February 2007: Health Freedom launched it’s first protest action in Auckland under the banner "Our Health Our Choice" Say No to Aussie Rules. Approximately 350 people attended the first march up Queen Street to Myers Park. The action was reported on the 6 o'clock news on TV3 and TVNZ One as well as Radio New Zealand.

Pan Pharmaceuticals Debacle

The following is a true account of how a rogue bureaucracy, Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), can bring down a publicly listed company for no legitimate reason and get away with it. This event serves as a warning to all consumers that our health rights are under threat by such regulators and demonstrates the need for tighter regulations and accountability of the regulators themselves. No story more clearly illustrates why there is a need for consumer watchdogs and action groups to monitor the behaviour regulators worldwide to ensure that bureaucrats do not encroach on our freedom of choice and health freedom rights.
