The ACT leader spoke in Auckland on Sunday morning, the day after he was sworn in as deputy leader at Government House. [...]
Seymour spoke of his party’s setbacks and successes as it grew from a rank outsider to its current position, with 11 seats in parliament. [...]

Labour had called Seymour “dangerous”.
“Sorry Labour: ACT remains your worst nightmare and New Zealand’s best hope... Yes, I am dangerous, but only to you and your batty outriders.”
