SIMON COURT (ACT): The ACT Party believes in natural rights, private property rights, and that these should be protected from undue interference by Government, and that includes the rights of Māori land owners. We also support the rights of landowners to build on their own land. We do believe also that property should be treated equally under the law and that the rates that fund local council and infrastructure, roading and drainage and waste water, all those other things which our communities depend on to keep the three waters safe—that it's fair that everybody pays the same amount. They must pay their fair share.
