National Party rules David Seymour out of finance portfolio

From Morning Report, 6:42 am on 11 May 2022

It was a rough day in Parliament yesterday for ACT leader David Seymour.

It started off with being called a "useless Maori" and ended with being ruled out as Finance Minister in a potential National-ACT Government.

Seymour says the name calling's a shame and any decisions on who should wear what ministerial hat are far too premature.

Political reporter Anneke Smith has more.
