There's hopes from David Seymour that he can convince National to get on board with ditching climate change targets. 

The ACT leader wants New Zealand to leave the Paris climate change agreement - unless we can negotiate a better deal.

But Prime Minister Chris Luxon says leaving the deal will only hurt our farmers, as international consumers value New Zealand's clean brand. 

David Seymour says his party is influential. 

"We've got a pretty good track record - if you look at the influence that ACT has had over this Government, I think it's profound. So watch this space."
