Despite being asked to stay away, ACT party leader David Seymour has spoken at Waitangi.

As Seymour began to speak, men on the paepae stood then turned their backs on him. His microphone was then taken by Aperahama Edwards. He was given a new one, which was taken again.

*Audio has been left as it was live, with the gaps in David Seymours speech due to his microphone being taken away.*
