Sunday 1st Oct 2000 Richard Prebble Media Release -- Economy
ACT will release the first 2002 election policy by any political party tomorrow, said ACT Leader Hon Richard Prebble.

* the Employment court and Employment Relations Authority will be abolished * freedom to contract will be restored, and ACT will reinstate the best of the former Employment Contracts Act û except for the specialist tribunals. This will eliminate the huge gold-plated handshakes being given to well paid executives.
ôACTÆs freedom to contract will see more jobs, better jobs, a rising income for all New Zealanders, and it is just two years and two months away!,ö
