# National signs ACT and NZ First coalition agreements Date: 2023 ## The fact On 24 November 2023 New Zealand’s National Party sealed coalition agreements with ACT and [New Zealand First](/organizations/new-zealand-first). Reuters recorded a single inflation-target mandate for the central bank, a plan to wind back Māori-language use and affirmative action, and an end to a ban on oil and gas exploration. ## Context National had won a plurality in October 2023. [David Seymour](/people/david-seymour) and [Winston Peters](/people/winston-peters) are unresolved. 24 November 2023 agreements. Stored as one 24 November 2023 Fact. Keep National signs ACT and NZ First coalition agreements on 2023-11-24 separate from neighbouring 14 October 2023 election, 24 November 2023 coalition agreements, 27 November 2023 oath, and later 2026 caucus confidence. The New Zealand prime minister can accept a Governor-General appointment, bind coalition agreements, and name a cabinet. He does not sit as the Governor-General, as ACT, or as NZ First. A 27 November 2023 oath is not authorship of every later circular. Sharing a cabinet with Seymour and Peters is not a reason to drop 24 November 2023. ## Evidence and sources New Zealand Gazette carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is the owned National-coalition driver: completed agreements that named Māori-language rollback and oil-and-gas exploration. ## What is established and what is not Established: The three parties signed coalition agreements on 24 November 2023. Reuters recorded the named items. Not established: A unique later headcount integer as size, or a minted Seymour page. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Sharing them with ACT and NZ First is not a reason to drop 24 November 2023.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies National signs ACT and NZ First coalition agreements, not a later speech about National signs ACT and NZ First coalition agreements. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. National signs ACT and NZ First coalition agreements on 2023-11-24 is not a licence to treat every later New Zealand Gazette communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average National signs ACT and NZ First coalition agreements into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He led National into those agreements. Sharing them with ACT and NZ First is not a reason to drop 24 November 2023. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Christopher Luxon: https://factrail.ai/people/christopher-luxon ## Drivers - Luxon National coalition: https://factrail.ai/drivers/luxon-national-coalition ## Sources - https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/new-zealands-national-act-nz-nz-first-ink-coalition-agreement-2023-11-23/ - https://www.gazette.govt.nz/notice/id/2023-vr5538 ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/nz-luxon-coalition-2023
