September 17 “Not the three-way you dream about” - Leaders Series with David Seymour
In the first instalment of the Three Gals One Beehive Election 2026 Leaders’ Series, the Gals sit down with ACT Party Leader David Seymour to talk about education, government spending, MMP and, of course, the upcoming election.

We ask about ACT’s views on the Treaty (and was the Treaty Principles Bill worth it), how working in a three-way coalition has been and his views on how NZ can be better.

The Three Gals’ Leaders Series is proudly sponsored by Duncan Cotterill.
