'Long, hard slog': ACT's David Seymour says later election date will allow voters to see results

ACT leader David Seymour says voters need to see the result of coalition policies before heading to voting booths.

The Prime Minister's announced the election will be held on November 7 - a later date than the past two, which were held in October. 

Seymour says the Government's done a lot of work on the economy, and a later election will give voters time to see that. 

"And I think it's only fair that people get to judge the Government on the benefits of its policies delivered before they choose."
