The ACT Party promises that if you give
us your party vote and we hold the
balance of power after the election, we'll
create an economy that gives the average
New Zealand wage earner an EXTRA $500
A WEEK - enough to outperform Australia
and bring our children home.
How's that for a bribe? Don't believe we
can deliver? Then click here and see
a pledge card with a difference. A detailed
plan to do just that.
Nearly all of the policies we propose are
regarded as international best practice.
Others will be after we've pioneered them!
Not hard right. Dead right.
These policies will give us the growth we
need, so we can afford things like lifesaving
breast cancer drugs that countries
like Greece can now afford, but we can't.
After fifteen years of gutless governments:
-
The average New Zealand worker is now
$450 a week poorer than the average
Australian worker.
-
If we were a state of Australia, we'd be
the poorest - $100 a week poorer than
Tasmania.
|
-
If we were a state of the USA, we'd be
51st and last - $120 a week poorer than
Mississippi.
Is it any wonder so many Kiwis with get-up-and-go have got up and gone?
One thing's for sure. Unless you stop
voting for politicians who bribe you with
short-term treats at the expense of policies
that enrich you in the long run, you'll keep
getting poorer and poorer.
John Key is not the key.
Roger Douglas is.
National leader John Key can see that
Labour's policies are hurting you. But he
needs Labour's voters to make him prime
minister. So he won't change them.
He's copying Australian PM Kevin
Rudd's strategy of saying 'me too' to the
present government's policies. But can you
spot the difference?
That's right. Rudd said 'me too' to
policies that have made Australia richer.
Key's saying 'me too' to policies that are
making New Zealand poorer!
There's only one way to save New
Zealand. Only one way to bring our children
home.
And that's to make sure the ACT Party
|
gets enough votes to hold the balance of
power and demand that Sir Roger Douglas
gets back his old job of Minister of Finance.
Who would you trust to manage New Zealand's $175 billion economy in a crisis?
-
Michael Cullen – who's squandered the
best global conditions of a generation to
make us poorer than Greece?
-
Bill English – who did nothing much the
last time he was Minister of Finance, and
is proudly promising to do nothing much
again?
-
Sir Roger Douglas – the finance minister
who transformed New Zealand from a
Soviet-style basket case under National
to one of the freest and most admired
economies in the world?
In 1984, Sir Roger Douglas had the guts to
do what was right for this country when it
needed strong leadership.
Well, we need that leadership again. On
the next page is how we'll provide it. Keep reading to find out how you can make it happen
with a party vote for ACT.

Sweet! I want a small one -
Sweet! I want a small one - government that is. But most importantly, I want the money. Bring it on!
Yea wow. A powerful,
Yea wow. A powerful, powerful plan. Rock on - I can't wait for it!
A common sense plan to put
A common sense plan to put NZers first not just favoured interest groups that have the ear of this socialist government & a refreshing change from the Nats timid do nothing plans. Good luck!
Visionary leadership is what
Visionary leadership is what we need to sustain one of the best places in the world to live - and that is what I am seeing.
Following on from reading Richard Prebbles book "I've been thinking" I am much better informed and can see the plan and the values behind the ACT party.
Looking forward to the election debates.
The Three V's VISION
The Three V's
VISION VALUES and VELOCITY
Today I joined the ACT party for the first time. I joined for the following reasons:
Only ACT has painted a clear VISION of a New Zealand I want to be part of
Only ACT has demonstrated and been uncompromising VALUES which will make New Zealand a country we can be proud of
Only ACT has the VELOCITY or speed of movement to make these things happen.
Bring on the elections!!!!

Dear Mr Douglas and Mr
Dear Mr Douglas and Mr Hyde,
I guess i'm not too left and not too right at the moment when it comes to politics. I'm sick of minority parties and the amount of control they have under MMP and the pc correct flipping policies being shoved in our face at the moment. However, i can't see how this offer you're putting forward of an extra $500 per week for every wage earn could work. I see a lot of cost cutting going on and a flat tax system, however - i suspect even though Joe (oh and Jill - let's be pc now) Public has an extra 500 in their pocket this is going to go towards paying for the privatisation of industries including Health and Education. I fear we would be heading for a dangerously expensive society where the rich are truly rich and the poor live out of cardboard boxes - kind of where the US is right now. To me it's all swings and roundabouts - you guys take from one hand and put in another. A real vision for this country is where the country actually acquires other countries assets and makes a lot of money from them - as well as bringing home the export dollars.
Also how do you guys propose to handle interest rates ? I would like to see some relief for current home owners who are already struggling (oh by the way - we're not all landlords).
If you guys get into power i'd like to see the current election spending policy removed from existence.
Cheers
Hi Paul, The cost of any
Hi Paul,
The cost of any kind of Education or Health vouchers would be added on top of the $500/week extra we're aiming to give people, otherwise you're right, it wouldn't really all be 'extra' would it?
But in some ways, you're right... we certainly are giving people back their own money, but we're not planning on having the government take it all back again. The whole point of giving people their tax dollars back, is because we believe people should be spending their own money and that they can make those spending decisions much better than any government can.
Also, it's important to remember that almost a third of all New Zealander's have some form of health insurance already - it's actually surprisingly affordable.
Oh and you can bet that the Electoral Finance Act will be repealed as soon as possible if we get enough votes to make that happen.
