Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Act Party leader David Seymour, to chat about why he’s been making headlines recently.

In the past week, he has been embroiled in controversy over all sorts including a Land Rover stunt, school lunches, teacher-only days, a letter to police advocating for Philip Polkinghorne, and accusations of undermining the Prime Minister.
