One-stop consenting for new supermarkets, accept US/UK/EU labels
ACT proposes a single consenting point so new supermarket entrants can get consents, liquor licences and approvals "in months, not years", and would let food labelled for trusted overseas systems such as the US, UK and EU be sold without relabelling. ACT opposes forced supermarket break-ups proposed by other parties.
Withdraw from the UN, WHO and World Economic Forum
Would withdraw New Zealand from international organisations and agreements it judges to threaten sovereignty, naming the United Nations, the World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum, and instead negotiate bilateral agreements directly with individual countries.
Give China trade priority and take a neutral foreign policy stance
Says New Zealand must give trade priority to China and avoid criticising China, and that 'Trade before War' should be the country's axiom, with a neutral stance on conflicts that do not threaten New Zealand. It would review all trade agreements, seeking a balance between free access and 'Trump like' protective tariffs, and keep a close military alliance with Australia.
