David Seymour on ACT's election priorities and coalition desires
About this episode
David Seymour isn’t one to mince his words.
That much was clear at the ACT Party annual conference, where Seymour used the opportunity to rally the party faithful ahead of this year’s election.
As well as taking aim at other parties for their lack of action, Seymour announced a new policy if they make it into government in October – a Ministry of Regulation to reign in government spending.
With polls showing a dead heat between both sides of the political aisle, there’s every chance that Seymour will be able to make good on that promise.
But what does he want from a National Party coalition, and how committed is he to getting his way?
David Seymour joins Damien to share ACT’s goals for the election, and his thoughts on how negotiations could go.
