Thomas Coughlan: NZ Herald deputy political editor on NZ First and ACT making first contact since the election

Election 2023 - A podcast by NZME

New Zealand First and ACT have made their first contact in coalition negotiations since the election wrapped up. ACT’s chief of staff Andrew Ketels and NZ First’s Darroch Ball met in Wellington today to establish 'lines of communication'. As of yet, Winston Peters has not responded to David Seymour's invitation for a conversation.  NZ Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan says there's still tension between Seymour and Peters, meaning other party members will have to clear the way.
