Description

As the race to the election heats up, so do the fiery debates! On this episode David and I talk about debates and why some it seems are running a negative campaign. There's no such thing as a free lunch, or is there. We discuss free lunches in schools and fees free and have governments stopped caring about education, or do we not believe schools can deliver it. 

My name is Leah Panapa and I will be your host, along with ACT Party Leader David Seymour who joins me every time to give us the lay of the land, before we get to know better one of our party members, plus we want to hear from you! We are the party that listens!
