ACT’s current policy platform, with its emphasis on smaller government, market discipline, asset sales and reduced state intervention, has revived comparisons with the Rogernomics reforms of the 1980s and early 1990s.

For some voters, particularly younger ones, Rogernomics is largely theoretical – something read about rather than lived through. But for many older New Zealanders, it is remembered as a period of profound and rapid change: state assets sold, protections removed and communities forced to adjust at speed.

Opinions differ on whether those reforms were necessary or excessive, but few dispute that they fundamentally reshaped the country.

The US And Australia Must Lead the Minerals Race
