To me, the ACT party and its foundation is based on dishonesty and manipulation by a gaggle of Labour MPs at the time behind the backs of their colleagues, leader and cabinet plotting the destructive and globalist policies of Marxism.

The ACT Party’s roots lie in a deliberate splintering from Labour during the early 1990s, when Roger Douglas, Richard Prebble and others—who had been central architects of Rogernomics—felt Labour had backtracked on their radical economic reforms.

The ACT Party (Association of Consumers and Taxpayers) did not emerge as a clean, principled alternative on the political scene, but rather from deep internal fractures within the New Zealand Labour Party in the 1980s and early 1990s.

The US And Australia Must Lead the Minerals Race
