ACT To Hold Annual 'Free & Equal' Rally In Auckland This Sunday 13 July
The ACT Party will host its flagship annual event, the 'Free & Equal' Rally, on Sunday 13 July at Auckland's Shed 10.
The rally will feature policy updates from ACT's Ministers and MPs, a keynote address from Deputy Prime Minister and ACT Party Leader David Seymour, and an international guest keynote by Dr. James Lindsay.
The event is expected to attract a strong audience, following last year's rally which sold out and saw keynote speaker Paul Henry's address viewed more than 200,000 times online. ACT describes its annual gathering as an opportunity to connect with supporters, outline the party's policy direction, and foster open debate on the country's future.
'ACT's annual rally is about more than politics – it's about lifting the standard of public debate in New Zealand,' says David Seymour.
'It's a chance to talk directly to voters about our vision for a freer, fairer, and more ambitious country.'
Attendees will hear updates from ACT's Ministers on the Government's policy programme, including progress on crime, economic reform, and reducing regulatory burdens.
International guest Dr. James Lindsay, an American author, mathematician, and prominent advocate for free speech, will deliver this year's keynote address. Dr. Lindsay is best known for his bestselling book Cynical Theories.
'Dr. Lindsay is one of the world's leading lights in challenging ideological extremes,' Seymour said.
'His insights on defending free expression and liberal values are especially relevant in New Zealand today.'
