Act leader David Seymour's campaign car has been towed - but appearances can be deceiving.
The Epsom MP called the tow-truck after losing the car's electronic key over the weekend.
"It turns out it has to be towed back to Holden to be re-programmed for a new key. It wasn't mis-parked or anything. The story is that I'm a klutz and lost my car key.
"I did have a spare, but I lost that too."
Seymour wouldn't disclose how much he was having to pay for a new key: "I don't want to say. It's basically extortionate".
