ACT's leader says everything is negotiable - as speculation about him becoming the next Finance Minister, if the coalition return to power continues to swirl.

David Seymour says the coalition need to ask themselves what the best configuration is to make sure they have a fighting chance of a third term in three years time.

"Now, I'm not particularly wedded to myself being in any particular position, but what I do take exception to is this tone that only National ministers can do things competently."
