David Seymour

ACT's looking to get tough on immigration.

Leader David Seymour says people are welcome to New Zealand if they contribute, respect our democratic values and help build the country.

The party will be campaigning on a six-point plan going into this year's election.

And of course, Shane Jones recently came out with this.

Good morning, Mike.

I always wish I was as Machiavellian as you imagine, Mike, but no, no, no, we just put out good policy every week, so I guess it was going to happen eventually.

Well, they got in touch with us last Wednesday.

We'll keep talking to their embassy.

Fair to say that the New Zealand government is also talking to other countries.

Kia Starmer's had a similar initiative.

If we were going to do anything, it would be after a ceasefire.

We're not going into a war zone.

And at this point, I honestly can't say much more.

Let's see how it works out.

But at this point, you've got a different story every second day up there.

So it's hard to really predict much more than that.

No, I don't.

I know that we are in talks with the Americans, and if they get a proposition that we can actually decide on, then it will come to Cabinet.

Then we'll have to decide, but we're not even close to that yet.

Well, they reached out to our embassy, as I say, last Wednesday.
