    David Seymour is making it clear the country can't just wait around for change

    David Seymour is making it clear the country can't just wait around for change


    The ACT party leader is delivering his State of the Nation address in Auckland today.

    Our newsroom understands he will use his speech to ask whether New Zealand should move towards privatisation in the health and education sectors.

    Seymour says it's time to be asking the bigger questions.

    He says the government owns 570 billion dollars worth of assets and yet can't afford the core infrastructure to build more homes for the next generation.
