- Rodney Hide is New Zealand’s leading proponent of accountability and transparency in government. He is also Parliament’s most highly qualified environmentalist.
He entered Parliament in 1996 as an ACT list MP and became the Leader of ACT in 2004. In 2005 he won the Electorate Seat of Epsom.
Rodney forged a reputation in parliament by running successful campaigns against government waste, red tape, excessive taxation, and corporate welfare. He has helped many of his constituents in their struggles against government bureaucracy.
Rodney was founding chairman of ACT’s predecessor, the Association of Consumers and Taxpayers, and founding president of ACT in 1994. Before becoming an MP, he worked as an economist, university lecturer, and on North Sea oil rigs.
Rodney has Masters Degrees in Economics (from Montana State University) and Resource Management (from Canterbury/Lincoln Universities). He is a regular blogger at www.rodneyhide.com

I love you Rodney!!!! Kick those labour commies ASS!!!!!!!
Hide should take his policies and his leadership to national, then new zealand would have a prime minster and policial party they could truely be proud of
Hey all, The new ACT on Campus website is now up: www.actoncampus.org.nz It also has links to the official ACT on Campus groups on Bebo and Facebook.
"It is every citizen's moral duty to not merely avoid, but also if necessary, to evade his taxes in the interests of his personal self respect and of the nation." - Bob Jones, 1977.
Great public policy forum at business roundtable on Tuesday night, keen to hear people's thoughts. Also who is going to Jacqui Dean's BZP event on Tuesday coming?
If anyone here isn't on the ACT on Campus email list, let me know and we'll add you. We use it to send out news and information about events we're having like Rodney's Book Launch earlier this week.
Yea 19 members! it's up and up for ACT!
Hey everyone, Come and check out the debate this thursday between the Greens and Vic Debating with the title: "the current ecological crisis is primarily driven by inappropriate economic theory and practice" August 9, 12pm, Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, Molesworth St.
When it comes to climate change I totally agree with Mike Bridge, give me my big gas guzzling luxury car any day.
All Rodney-Hiders interested in the climate change debate should check out my blog. Just add me as a friend if you can't get in. Please leave comments, it would be great if we could turn the blog page into an instrument for further discussion.
Too true. Top notch job by Mike. For Mike and Rodney, my love for today.
