ACT floats possibility of new governing arrangement

From Morning Report, 6:44 am on 11 September 2023

ACT is floating the possibility of a new kind of governing arrangement if National refused to co-operate during post-election negotiations.

Party leader David Seymour says one option on the table is a confidence-only deal, which would require the larger party to seek ACT's backing for all government spending - or "supply" - decisions on a case-by-case basis.

Seymour spoke to political editor Jane Patterson.
