David Seymour ACT Leader The National Party should take a stand against the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP), even if it has to reverse its previous position. Judith Collins is correct when she says that Labour is the major culprit here for commissioning the He
David Seymour ACT Leader Chris Hipkins’ celebration of 150,000 doses of vaccine arriving is like hooting and hollering for a drop goal while the team of five million is 50 points behind on the scoreboard. Most of us are happy to get an email or text notification when a
David Seymour ACT Leader The revelation that Paul Hunt gave money to a criminal organisation is further evidence that the Human Rights Commission must be abolished. This morning we learned that the Commission gave koha to the Mongrel Mob at the same time it met with the gang. ACT’s
David Seymour ACT Leader The Government has once again sneakily changed the dates that vaccines will be available. Originally the Government said that Group 4, the last group to be eligible for vaccines were “being vaccinated from July 28.” That language would make anyone think there would be needles in
David Seymour ACT Leader ACT is calling on all parties in Parliament to renounce the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Helen Clark got it right when her Government refused to sign up. John Key got it wrong when his Government signed the Declaration, he may have
David Seymour ACT Leader The Government is creating further ethnic division with its procurement policy of requiring firms to favour ‘Maori businesses’ hitting the inboxes of firms that contract to Government up and down the country. The policy is one for elite Maori, those who are in business. For working-class
David Seymour ACT Leader The Government is taking the whole country on the path to being an ethno-state, not just the select Maori leaders it’s chosen to consult on its implementation of He Puapua. If there’s to be a constitutional conversation, everybody deserves to be part of it.
David Seymour ACT Leader This today is no ordinary Thursday for Kiwi Battlers. It’s the day Labour attacks, piling on yet more taxes, and regulations. From today, the Government demands landlords comply with ‘Healthy Homes Standards,’ but not Kainga Ora. The Government that tells private landlords to show more
David Seymour ACT Leader It’s time for the Government to start treating New Zealanders like adults and let us in on what’s really happening with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Yesterday Jacinda Ardern admitted we’re getting the schedule for delivery of vaccines four weeks in advance. She should
David Seymour ACT Leader Labour’s push for co-governance of our water assets is another small step towards a Partnership State where a small number of New Zealanders have greater rights under the law. Co-governance should not be the priority; the priority should be fixing the pipes. We have sewage
David Seymour ACT Leader Jacinda Ardern admitted in Parliament yesterday that she hasn’t ruled out including political opinion in her proposed hate speech laws. Ardern is twisting and turning her position on hate speech so much she could almost qualify to represent New Zealand in gymnastics at the Olympics.
David Seymour ACT Leader Tens of thousands of Kiwis have exercised their right to free speech, standing up to Jacinda Ardern and her divisive Hate Speech Laws. The Prime Minister needs to back down and dump this confused initiative. A petition launched by the ACT Party to stop Labour’s
David Seymour ACT Leader The Government’s draft RMA Bill won’t do the very thing New Zealand desperately needs it to, lead to more houses being built. Far from being a silver bullet for development, the proposal focusses on environmental restriction and central planning. Environmental standards are important but
David Seymour ACT leader It’s mandatory for businesses to display QR codes, but not for people to scan them. Only the Ardern Government could continue this madness. ACT has supported compulsory scanning since January, but the Government is so complacent on COVID it’s sometimes hard to tell if
David Seymour ACT leader It’s not just the Justice Minister who doesn’t understand his own Hate Speech Laws, the Prime Minister has proved she’s also out of her depth. This morning when asked about the new laws on the AM Show, Jacinda Ardern made not just one,
David Seymour ACT Leader The Justice Minister has today shown how out of his depth he is on Newshub Nation as he was unable to provide any clarity around his proposed hate speech laws. When interpreting the law, courts often look to speeches from the Minister responsible to see what
