“A free society is a creative society.” — David Seymour
In this thought-provoking episode, we’re joined by ACT Party Leader and MP David Seymour for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation about the future of New Zealand.
From housing and KiwiSaver to red tape, small business, and the elusive promise of freedom, David brings his signature contrarian perspective to the big financial and social questions affecting Kiwis today.
INSIDE EPISODE SIX
- Why NZ’s housing crisis is a symptom of deeper structural issues—and how rewriting the rules could reignite opportunity.
- A contrarian take on KiwiSaver—and why paying off your mortgage might be a better bet than locking your money away.
- The case for radical simplification in small business law, health and safety, and employment reform.
- Why David sees freedom as the foundation for a prosperous society, not just a political buzzword.
- How red tape kills innovation—and what happens when we trust people instead of regulating everything.
- The hidden cost of brain drain and the $60B question: how do we keep talent in New Zealand?
- Mortgage Rate Comparison Tool
- Property Investment Comparison Calculator
- Revolving Credit vs. Savings Calculator
Plus: insights on the RMA overhaul, KiwiBank’s competitive potential, NZ’s startup culture, and why “letting go of control” might just be the best thing this country can do.
