Labour calls for David Seymour to be sacked over Land Rover stunt on Parliament steps
The Opposition is calling for ACT Party leader David Seymour to lose his job for attempting to drive a Land Rover up Parliament’s steps, and for sending a letter in support for Philip Polkinghorne to police while the eye surgeon was a person of interest in the investigation into his wife’s death.
Security guards intervened after Seymour drove the vehicle several metres up the steps on Monday. The Land Rover, parked on Parliament’s forecourt, was being driven to Auckland to raise funds for Manaaki Manawa – The Centre for Heart Research. It started its journey in Dunedin.

Security stops Act leader David Seymour driving Land Rover up Parliament steps
Act leader David Seymour is likely to be in Speaker of the House Gerry Brownlee’s bad books after he drove up Parliament’s steps in a historic Land Rover before being ordered to stop by security.
Seymour, also the Regulations Minister, was on Parliament’s forecourt this afternoon admiring New Zealand’s first-ever Land Rover, built 77 years ago, that was being driven up the country by members of Drive 4 Heart, who were raising funding for new heart valve devices for children which don’t need replacing with further surgery.
