David Seymour is not happy after the Waitangi Tribunal published documents revealing official warnings to the government over his plans to reinterpret Te Tiriti. Policy briefings reveal Seymour's interpretation of Te Tiriti is not supported by any legislation or expert opinion.

Funding 13 new cancer treatments, keeping the First Home Grant and providing tax cuts worth (up to) $250 a fortnight for an "average income household family"... What else did Luxon promise then fail to deliver once he became Prime Minister?
