The Huddle: Which Chris won last night's leaders debate?

2023/09/28

Tonight on The Huddle, Tim Wilson from Maxim Institute and Ali Jones from Red PR joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day- and more! Luxon and Hipkins went head to head in their second leaders debate last night - who do you think won? Do you think debates convince any voters or are they for entertainment only? Winston Peters is gaining momentum in the polls- will National need to rely on the extra boost from NZ First? Protesters flooded Parliament grounds today to protest a

Winston Peters could be the one benefiting most from Labour and National's coalition squabbles. In last night's Leaders Debate, Labour's Chris Hipkins dug into National's Chris Luxon over his plans to work with New Zealand First, if needed. Newstalk ZB Editor Jason Walls says the more Peters is discussed, the more his vote share will increase. He says this could leak votes from National and Act, who need to step up.

Campaigners for one of the nation's deadliest cancers feel like their cause is being ignored this election. At last night's debate, Luxon and Hipkins both promised to lower the age for free bowel cancer screenings going forward. Prostate Cancer Foundation President Danny Bedingfield says the Government has show it cares about people's lives- but their cause needs more support. "What we're looking for is actually a trial of a prostate cancer screening program. We've had to do a lot of this background

The Property Investors Federation welcomes ACT's proposed housing policy changes- but tenant advocacy groups are sceptical. The plan includes reinstating mortgage interest deductibility, abolishing the bright-line test and allowing no fault evictions. Federation President Sue Harrison says these changes will make it easier for landlords and tenants alike. "No one wants to evict good tenants, no one wants to get rid of their best people in their homes- but we need tools in our toolbox if we're to

I don’t quite know how we’re back here, but we are- Winston's back in Government, isn’t he? I think all the signs now point to the fact that National can’t do it without him. The Herald’s Poll of Polls says National and ACT have a 40 percent chance of forming Government alone. With Winston, it’s a 99.7 percent chance. The big donors are backing him, he’s pulling in more money right now than in any other election beforehand- and it’s coming from the big end of town. He wasn’t in the debate last

Last night's leaders' debate was vastly more entertaining than the first one. Was it a debate? Well, Sister Philippa, my old debating coach at Sacred Heart Girls College, wouldn't have seen it as a debate per say. I think it was more of a bit of infotainment. Chris Hipkins, the leader of Labour, showed up and heaven knows we love a politician who shows up. He no longer looked like a dead man walking like in the first debate. He looked like he didn't care, was over it, was going through the

If you want proof that people will see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear, I’ve got it for you. And it’s to do with last night’s leaders’ debate on TV3. Which, by the way, blew last week’s debate on TV1 out of the water, didn't it? Not just because Chris Hipkins appeared to be awake this time. But also because it had a much better structure and didn’t waste time on pointless questions about what book the two leaders are reading at the moment. Yes, there was quite a bit of Chris

I think most people would agree with the winner, wouldn't they? Andrew Webster deserved the Dally M Coach of the Year. But back here we seemed to call it for Chris Hipkins. I'll come back to that, but a couple of broadcasting notes for TVNZ, given Newshub's effort last night was in a completely different league. - Get an audience that reacts because it brings life to a broadcast - Get a moderator with a personality and some energy.

Following the debate, Hipkins gave himself a rating of nine, while Luxon rated himself a seven. Pundits judged Hipkins a near-unanimous winner.

Chris Hipkins appears to be utilising New Zealand First's growing strength in the polls. The Labour leader went up against National's Christopher Luxon last night in what commentators agree was far more fiery second leaders' debate. Political Editor Jason Walls told Mike Hosking that Hipkins is now on the attack with a new approach, hinting a vote for National is a vote for Winston Peters.

The chances of Chris Hipkins retaining his role as Prime Minister appears to be fading by the day. The latest One News-Verian result puts National on 36% while Labour sits at 26%. Earlier this week, the Herald's Poll of Polls showed Labour has a 0.2% chance of staying in government, the worst result for any main governing party since the Great Depression. Former National Party advisor and political commentator Brigitte Morton told Tim Dower that the chances Hipkins will continue as Prime

Tim Dower: Picking a winner from last night's debate

Election 2023 ·

2023/09/27

Trying to pick a winner from a TV debate is a tricky thing to do. First thing I have to bear in mind is that I'm not impartial when I look at these things. I've already decided who I want to win, so that's bound to be an influence. I started going through it round by round, first one to Luxon, even in the second, Hipkins in round three. Four to Luxon, five to Hipkins... overall, I'd have to say Hipkins was the winner on the night. Which you might expect, given he's the career politician. Did

It's looking increasingly likely Chris Luxon will have to pick up the phone to Winston Peters next month. Tonight's One News/ Verian Poll shows New Zealand First is on 6 percent - up a point - and remaining in a kingmaker position. Labour and National have both dropped 1 point - to 26 and and 36 percent- and Act's steady on 12. The Greens are on 13, and Te Pati Maori is at 2 percent.

Newshub's Paddy Gower says National and Labour's leaders are gutless for refusing to debate their colleagues in the minor parties. He will moderate the show-down between Christopher Luxon and Chris Hipkins in Auckland tonight, after last week's TVNZ debate. Gower says it's important for the pair to face-off, but it seems a bit historic that the other leaders won't be there.

Labour's David Parker has responded to National's criticism of the Party's fiscal plan. The plan promises to look for more savings across the Government's books and to keep net debt under 30 percent of GDP. But National questions Labour's credibility- saying it's blown all operating allowances set since 2017. Associate Finance spokesperson Parker says it's because of Covid and the cyclone and flooding.
