ACT says everyone should have the same rights no matter their background or ancestry. They want one law that applies equally to all New Zealanders. They say they have already made changes to put need before race in government decisions and to stop unelected representatives getting votes on councils. They want to write equal rights into the Constitution Act. They also want to wind up the Waitangi Tribunal.
“ACT stands for one person, one vote and one law for all.”
“In Government, ACT has put need before race, restored local referendums, reinforced merit in the public service and put property rights and better lawmaking standards into law.”
“Wind up the Waitangi Tribunal”
