It was briefly led by National Party leader and Reserve Bank Governor Don Brash for the 2011 New Zealand general election. According to the party leader Rodney Hide, the party stands for "individual freedom, personal responsibility, doing the best for our natural environment and for smaller, smarter government in its goals of a prosperous economy, a strong society, and a quality of life that is the envy of the world".〔(Rodney Hide ), "Speech to ACT Auckland Regional Conference, 30 July 2006"〕 The name comes from the initials of the Association of Consumers and Taxpayers, founded in 1993 by Roger Douglas and Derek Quigley, from which the party grew in 1994. The party is commonly known by the acronym "ACT" and pronounced as a word rather than as initials. == Philosophy == ACT bases its philosophy on individual freedom and on personal responsibility.〔(ACT's Pledge To New Zealand ), reported on 19 May 2008〕 ACT states its principles as: * That individuals are the rightful owners of their own lives and therefore have inherent freedoms and responsibilities * That the proper purpose of government is to protect such freedoms and not to assume such responsibilities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ACT New Zealand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
