"Guilty as charged" was what Mr King had to say when Newshub called him.



"I did basically cut and paste it with a couple of changes. Everything he said is everything I agree with."

When Newshub suggested those changes might have included taking out all references to ACT, Mr King laughed.

"I took out the reference to ACT, yes. Someone commented saying 'Isn't this David Seymour's work?' And I said 'Yes.'"

"I personally agree with a lot of things David Seymour has to say… He has some really good things to say. Personally, I agree with a lot of things he has to say."
