The rise and rise of David Seymour’s ACT

Mawkish sentiment running up to Christmas perhaps, but imagine Luxon or Willis speaking hours after the Christchurch massacre. Some may recall the Jacinda Ardern of the speech right after the Christchurch Massacre. Tone perfect. Some may also recall how she took New Zealand diplomacy to…
