National / ACT
Confidence & Supply Agreement

November 16th 2008


"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.

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 for New Zealand."
- Rodney Hide

A vote for National is just a vote for change of government. A party vote for ACT is a vote for a change of government AND a government of change. That's what we need.

We have a comprehensive plan but to put this in place we need - not just a change of government.

We need a government of Change. A party vote for ACT is the only vote that will deliver that change.

Workman Wrong On ACT's 'Three Strikes'
