Willie Jackson has announced he will debate David Seymour on Seymour’s Treaty Principles Bill.

This marks the second challenge to Seymour by a Māori leader, following Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Toa Rangatira chief executive Helmut Modlik, who debated Seymour this past October on Martyn ‘Bomber’ Bradbury and Damien Grant’s podcast, The Working Group.

During a TikTok livestream with Waatea Digital, Jackson urged everyone to continue challenging Seymour and not to take their foot off the gas.

“I’m gonna debate the guy. I’ve made a decision in the last couple of days. People will hear more about that later on. Kia ū ki te kaupapa. Kia kaha. Keep challenging, keep fighting,” says Jackson.
