David Seymour: Deputy Prime Minister and Act leader on the attempts to oust Luxon

David Seymour says important work is going on, despite the ructions within National's caucus.

National party leader Christopher Luxon survived a confidence vote yesterday, launched by Chris Penk.

The Kaipara ki Mahurangi MP was then sent packing from his Cabinet portfolios for his efforts, and later announced he'll quit politics at the election.

Coalition partner and ACT leader David Seymour told Ryan Bridge it shouldn't be the focus now.

He says the government itself is a joint project, which is functioning very well.
