ACT-Maori Party relations

While there are plenty of areas of disagreement, I find it interesting how cordial relations are between not just the Maori Party and National, but also with ACT.

Look at this speech from Tariana Turia:

Winston Churchill and Rodney Hide have something in common, apart from looks, (although Rodney is actually in better shape).

It was Churchill who famously said, “If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.”

Almost eighty years later, Mr Hide has introduced a Bill to do something for once and for all to address the duplication, gaps, errors and inconsistencies that make a mockery of our law.

Tariana also reminds us of their policies:

It is great to see the Act Party going to such steps to implement Maori Party policy.

We campaigned last election on a commitment to supporting the growth and sustainability of small businesses.

We committed to reducing the tax of businesses with a net income of $100,000 or less, from 33% to 25%.

You agree to disagree in the areas you disagree, and make progress in the areas you do agree.
