ACT Party leader David Seymour has given his State of the Nation speech, saying New Zealand needs to move past the “squeamishness” of privatisation and have more honest conversations about what the government spends, owns, and regulates.

He raised the issues of asset sales, questioning whether New Zealand was making the best use of the Government’s $0.5 trillion plus worth of assets, and allowing people to opt out of public healthcare, suggesting people could get better value for their healthcare if that money went to individuals' own private insurance.
