"A group of eight candidates is running for office in Northland espousing conspiracy theories and Covid-19 disinformation.
“Sovereign” is targeting local body elections, pushing debunked claims about United Nations sustainability goals, known as Agenda 30.
The most high profile candidate is founder Joshua Ben Riley, a Texan now living close to Paihia, who is standing to be Far North mayor.
His wife, Alisha Riley, a singer, has her sights on the Kaikohe-Hokianga council ward."

"Darin Brown is a 5G conspiracy theorist who wants to be the East Coast city’s next mayor.
The inaccurate and dangerous claims that mobile phone signals either transmit Covid-19 or reduce our defences to it have been comprehensively debunked by scientists who say it is biologically impossible.
His wife Jen Brown is a local co-ordinator for Voices for Freedom, the anti-vaccination group that has vowed to make New Zealand ungovernable by infiltrating decision-making bodies."Kelvin Alp & Hannah Spierer have been arrested.
