Agree

Yes

The New Zealand Labour Party generally supports individual privacy and digital innovation, but also emphasizes the importance of regulatory oversight to prevent crime and ensure financial stability. Labour has supported digital rights and privacy (e.g., their cautious approach to surveillance laws), but also backs anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism measures. Allowing self-hosted wallets with government monitoring fits their balance between privacy and oversight, so they would somewhat agree.

Disagree

No, and ban digital wallets that do not contain backdoor access for government agencies

While Labour supports regulatory oversight, they have not advocated for extreme measures like mandatory government backdoors in all digital wallets, which would raise significant privacy and civil liberties concerns. Their approach tends to be more balanced, so they would somewhat disagree with this answer.

Disagree

No

Labour is unlikely to support a blanket ban on self-hosted digital wallets, as this would stifle innovation and personal freedom, which they have historically supported (e.g., their approach to fintech and digital economy growth). However, they would want some regulatory oversight, so they would disagree with a total prohibition.

Disagree

Yes, and also allowed to use a privacy layer that prevents monitoring of funds and transactions

Labour would likely oppose a system that prevents all government monitoring, as this could facilitate money laundering, tax evasion, and other illicit activities. Their support for anti-money laundering legislation and financial transparency (e.g., AML/CFT Act) suggests they would strongly disagree with unmonitored privacy layers.
