ACT has a fully-costed plan for economic recovery, which keeps the debt low, cuts taxes, and gets the country back to surplus, while keeping Kiwis in work.
Our 5 point plan priorities are:
1: Getting Kiwis Back To Work
- 90-day trials for all businesses
- Three-year moratorium on minimum wage increases
2: Balancing The Books
- Return to surplus by 2024 and begin repaying the debt
- Cutting wasteful spending of more than $7.6 billion
- Delivering $3.1 billion in tax cuts – reducing the 30% tax rate to 17.5% and cutting GST to 10% for 12 months
3: Cutting Red Tape
- Repealing the Zero Carbon Act and the oil and gas ban
- Allowing investors from OECD countries to invest without having to jump through bureaucratic hoops
- Limiting government’s ability to pass harmful regulation
4: Building For The Future
- Replacing the Resource Management Act and amending the Building Act
- End politically motivated infrastructure funding decisions with a new, independent Infrastructure Corporation
5: Protecting Public Health
- Temporarily double Customs’ funding to reopen the border as soon as it is safe to do so
- Establish a permanent National Public Health Service to streamline epidemic responses
- Expand the national personal protective equipment stockpile
- Add a human health element to border inspections
