Our country is in real danger of slipping away from first world status. Former communist countries that we used to feel sorry for are overtaking us. Our wages are falling further behind countries like Australia and the UK.

ACT says it's time for some relief for businesses.

ACT would:

‍

Reverse the Government’s workplace relations changes, including Matariki, or swap it for one of the other existing statutory holidays
Repeal “Fair Pay” Agreements
Reverse new sick leave entitlements
Reinstate 90-day trials for all businesses
Pause minimum wage increases for three years
Abolish remaining tariffs
Replace the RMA or NBEA with our fit-for-purpose environmental and urban development laws
Require councils to accept any ‘equivalent material' certified by MBIE for use in building projects
Exempt OECD members from the Overseas Investment Act, allowing foreign supermarket chains to invest in New Zealand with certainty
Implement a Carbon Tax Refund returning revenues from the ETS to New Zealanders
Simplify immigration laws making it easier for migrants to move between employers
Return the Reserve Bank's mandate to taming inflation alone.
