ACT advocates for an open and benevolent society in which individual New Zealanders are unleashed to achieve their full potential. We believe it is inherent in the nature of human beings as individuals that they are the owners of their own lives and must be free to act according to their own judgments so long as they accept and respect the like freedom of others. ACT believes in freedom of thought, conscience, religion, belief, and expression including the right to adopt, hold opinions, and express those opinions, these rights are essential to a free society and must be promoted, protected, and preserved. There are eleven ACT MPs in Parliament who are working hard every day to make life better for New Zealanders. We look forward to hearing about the issues important to you at the Hawkes Bay Home & Garden Show.
