Own Your Future receives backing of Stephen Jennings

Own Your Future receives backing of Stephen
Jennings
It can now be revealed that the foreword
of Own Your Future, ACT Leader David Seymour’s new
book, is written by global entrepreneur, Stephen
Jennings.
Jennings calls Own Your Future
“courageous and highly perceptive”, and says Seymour’s
message “must lead to action”.
Jennings concludes by
saying, “in this era, it is absolutely critical for New
Zealand to be on top of our policy game. As David Seymour
persuasively shows, this is far from being the case today,

readily be so.”
David Seymour will formally launch
Own Your Future on Sunday, along with an announcement
on housing policy. ACT will reveal how successive
Governments have restricted New Zealanders’ capacity to
build, to the point of gross
negligence.

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More
MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru. More
