Regulatory Responsibility Bill
To Russell McVeagh
The problem is that politicians have poor incentives; they must get re-elected, and the political cycle is short.
Politicians are vulnerable to interest group pressure, and at times invite that pressure by pandering to various interest groups in search of votes. It's unfortunate, but it's a fact of life in a democracy."

Conference Speech - Rodney
ACT Conference 2010
Today I want to take you through promises made and promises kept. ACT promises. New Zealand is now enjoying stable centre-right government. That’s something we haven’t had since the start of MMP. And you can put that down to ACT. It’s a promise ACT made. It’s a promise ACT has kept."

Inter-Party Working Group Report
Success The Only Option
The Group consisted of MPs from the National, ACT and Maori Parties and has spent the past year reviewing the current education system here in New Zealand and best practice overseas. That work culminated in two reports 'Step Change: Success The Only Option', which is supported by all Group members; and 'Free To Learn', ACT's minority view on that report."

About ACT
National/ACT Agreement
"I see National and ACT's Confidence and Supply Agreement as a victory for democracy.
A week ago New Zealand voted for a Centre-Right government and today, with this historic agreement, we have one.
All our discussions this week indicate we have the basis for a long and fruitful relationship based on mutual respect.
This isn't an agreement cobbled together out of self-interest, but one developed through our shared vision to create a better and brighter future."

Our Policies
At the 2008 election, ACT produced a 20 Point Plan to turn New Zealand around and help us catch up to Australia over the coming years.
The plan covers a wide range of issues from Government Expenditure and Taxation to Law And Order and Climate Change and there are also detailed policy documents available for each point of the plan.
The Confidence And Supply Agreement between ACT and National covers many of the points in the plan and ACT will also work to towards improved policy in the other areas over the next three years.
