ACT's policies

Real Solutions for our Primary Industries

ACT wants to see the rural sector given the respect it deserves. Through Covid-19, the efforts of our farmers raised the level of respect rural New Zealanders get. The rural sector has been given a short reprieve from the campaign of demonisation. It’s time to put that change in rhetoric into action.

Fixing the Housing Crisis

ACT’s offers real solutions to New Zealand’s housing woes. We’d get politicians out of the building business and leave it to those who know best – locals on the ground and everyday New Zealanders spending their own money. We would bring New Zealand back to its building heyday.

New Zealand's Cost of Living Crisis

New Zealand is in the midst of a cost of living crisis. Rents are up, mortgage rates are on the rise, the cost of food is up, petrol is up - but wages aren't keeping up. The Government isn't listening and every day Kiwis are going backwards. In this document ACT puts forward practical ideas and solutions.

Law and Order

ACT believes protecting the safety and property of its citizens is the government’s first and most important job. The rights of victims should trump the rights of criminals.

The Real Change Budget

ACT has released an aspirational Budget for the future, for rebuilding, increasing productivity and growth. It’s the opposite to Labour’s approach of taxing people they don’t like and giving handouts to others.

Scrapping Three Waters

It is critical that New Zealanders have access to safe drinking water and high-quality infrastructure for storm and wastewater. The current system is not up to scratch, but the Government’s Three Waters reforms are not the answer. ACT’s plan will allow community control of water assets.

A Tax Cut for Every Taxpayer

ACT’s Real Change Budget would dramatically simplify the tax system so that it once again rewards success.

The World's Best Firearms Laws

ACT’s priority is to repeal this year’s Arms Legislation Act, including the threat of a firearm register, then set about making the world’s best firearm laws that balance public safety, firearms control, and freedom.

Transforming Mental Health

New Zealand is facing a mental health crisis. The system is a messy and disorderly mix of DHBs, NGOs, and primary care providers all struggling to be part of a coordinated response. ACT would create a separate, stand-alone Mental Health and Addiction agency on a national scale.

Real Solutions for the Environment and the Climate

Governments have offered up bold environmental policies, but they’re more symbolic than effective. We can do much better. We can do much better. ACT says we can take positive, practical steps towards a better environment by allowing individuals, businesses and communities the freedom to innovate.

Welfare: A Hand Up

One in ten working-age New Zealanders are on a benefit. Prior to Covid, 71 percent of main benefit recipients had been on welfare continuously for more than a year. All the while, New Zealand businesses are crying out for more workers. We must ensure more beneficiaries return to work.

A More Democratic New Zealand

ACT believes that all New Zealanders should have the same fundamental rights, regardless of race, religion, sexuality or gender.

Real Solutions for Health

Covid-19 has highlighted how important access to high-quality healthcare and mental healthcare is for leading long and healthy lives.However, the status quo isn’t acceptable. Our hospitals are run down and people are languishing on waiting lists. ACT has real, positive solutions to reform our healthcare system.

Guaranteeing the Freedom to Learn

We have some of the highest-performing schools and students in the world, but we also have a long tail of underachievement in disadvantaged communities. Our education system is a slow moving disaster. ACT has a plan for a world-class education system.
