Simon Court - Speech to ACT Rally 2025
Good afternoon! Let’s talk about the cost of living. Why is it so expensive to buy groceries, to rent or own a home, to keep the lights on, or to drive on safe roads? It’s because it’s too hard to build anything in this country. A supermarket. A house. A road. A power station. It often takes longer to get permission than to actually build. That’s insane.
