David Seymour talks taxes, cuts, the media and public backlash in wide-ranging chat

The Government earlier this month made it through its first 100 days after a few ups and downs, but the months ahead could be a little rougher.

Questions continue to be asked about how the coalition can fund its much-promised tax cuts amid reports of a growing fiscal hole and criticism from international financial agencies, with just two months left until this National-led government delivers its first budget.

To talk us through the state of the economy, the public’s feedback on the government, and the state of his other portfolios, today on The Front Page we’re joined by Associate Finance Minister and Act Party leader, David Seymour.
