    100% agree with David Seymour. There is some hope, thank goodness for someone who understands.
  • At last, a decent conversation where no ones view is shut down by being called racist for simply questioning things.
  • Screwed over for last 100 years ? Māori health and education has same potential as anyone’s. If it’s poorer than the average, it’s their fault.
  • co governance is a racist system, 17% of the population governing 83% of the population without being elected is outrageous, Maori also have the same chance at education, medical care etc etc as everyone else.
  • Patriots, please share this everywhere!! New Zealand needs you!!

    I like the way David delivers his policies and what he represents heading the Act party, different from other leaders who are interviewed because he isn't on the defensive when asked questions, he gives more information rather than avoiding the questions.

    David is 100% right we don't need any Co-Governance we are all New Zealanders so all have the same rights and options in our lives
  • @ericschin328
    $9 billion tax free iwi empire, tell me again how they don't have equity?
  • Co governance must be stopped or we lose our democracy. Thank you David Seymour.
  • @magamike1800
    Equity is a dangerous word and it has been used when people should be guaranteeing equal opportunity.
  • @barnabywsm
    Great interview by Jack. Excellent and informed perspectives from david. More of this quality sharing of ideas please
  • I'm normally left wing so never vote ACT but I am vehemently opposed co-governance. Its fundamental principle is grouping everyone as Maori and everyone else. That's just racism and apartheid by another name.
  • Calm and concise as always David. I've just started watching QnA again having ditched TV because of the continual negative rhetoric, and just want to say Jack, just because you keep repeating a phrase, doesn't magically make it correct.
  • Jack Tame asks good questions I wanted to know and David seymour made good points
  • @greglynch6549
    Jack David had your measure he had an answer for all your questions in a intelligent sensible manner he sees things from both sides of the fence being of Maori decent himself!
