In the National-led Government, Dr The Rt Hon Lockwood Smith is Speaker of the House.

Experience has taught me that the most important thing a Government can do is protect its people’s freedom so that each person can pursue their hopes, their dreams and their aspirations. Policies necessary to support this include:

•  Freedom from excessive taxation and regulation;
• An education and training system to create genuine opportunities for everyone;
• Vastly better infrastructure, including roading and communications, to enhance our productivity;
• Freeing up international trade on which our prosperity depends;
• A strong law and order system - the foundation of freedom for all people.
