Seymour defends letter to police about Polkinghorne

From Morning Report, 6:43 am on 11 February 2025

ACT leader David Seymour has called the Prime Minister ill-advised for criticising his support for Philip Polkinghorne. In 2022, the Epsom MP wrote a 1012-word letter to police, saying Polkinghorne felt he had been subject to prejudice from police. Christopher Luxon says Seymour was ill-advised to send the letter, but Seymour hit back on Checkpoint on Monday. Morning Report invited David Seymour onto the programme this morning, his office declined.
