Integrity Measurement Investigations

Summary

Research and polling on perceptions of integrity in politics, including public trust, elite self-assessments, and annual benchmarking reports.

Purpose and activity

These research outputs focus on measuring and evaluating integrity in New Zealand – including surveying former MPs and the public.

Scheduled investigations:

  1. Survey of former MPs: We will be surveying former parliamentarians on their experiences of the political process, especially in terms of vested interests

  2. Trust survey: We will commission an annual public survey on trust in political institutions and authority

  3. Occasional polling reports: We will commission occasional public polling on specific issues that relate to the political process and vested interests

  4. An Annual Integrity Report: Every January we will publish a report on the previous year in terms of public and political integrity

The Lead Researcher on the Integrity Measurement Investigations is Bruce Curtis
