Aotearoa’s Conspiracy Pages Are a Cesspit
I went into this expecting to find some wild and quirky conspiracy theories. I found some. But it took a lot of trawling through the same racist shit to get there. New Zealand’s conspiracy scene is warped, hateful, and absurdly ignorant. 
1080 eyewitness.
This group is fucking huge for some reason. There are over 20,000 members and they all hate 1080. On the surface, this is a simple cause.
But it goes a lot deeper. Members of the group link 1080 to vaccines, Covid, and even Bill Gates. One commenter rails against fake meat and Bill Gates in one post about a new 1080 drop in New Zealand: “Killing all Animals so her mate bill gates can have his multi million dollar "3DMeat" enterprise to feed the world..they're 2 peas in the same rotten pod.. And together they're KILLING US.” There is some opposition to conspiracies that aren’t related to 1080. One commenter says “Study the science ! The vaccinations are safe!” on a post about the Covid vaccine. Overall, 1080 descends quickly into deeper mistrust of the government and science.
