ACT is signalling the Climate Change Commission isn't the only agency in its firing line, if they're re-elected to Government.

The party's revived a failed pledge from last election to scrap the agency tasked with monitoring and adapting to the growing risk of extreme events.

ACT claims the Commission's cost taxpayers $100 million dollars since being set up. 

Candidate Paul Henry claims it does nothing to benefit the climate. 

"We're not coming after them alone - our policy at the moment is to reduce the number of departments in Government from 43 to 19."
