   Editor-in-Chief Poll of Polls: Can The Left Take The Lead Due To MMP?

   Our latest rolling poll of polls averages out the numbers and hands this election to the left. National is narrowly ahead in the party vote, but MMP arithmetic means Labour, the Greens, Te Pāti Māori, and TOP could have enough seats to form a government. Last night's debate showed just how tight this contest really is, even if most voters have already made up their minds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

   Luxon vs Hipkins: Who Won, Who Dodged and Who Missed Their Moment?

   A snarky debate, rehearsed answers and plenty of missed opportunities. Did either leader give New Zealanders a reason to feel confident? Duncan Garner, Ani O’Brien and former National minister Maurice Williamson give their verdict on the TVNZ leaders’ debate between Christopher Luxon and Chris Hipkins. Where did Luxon let Hipkins off the hook? Was Hipkins better at debating than answering the hard questions? And why wasn’t there more scrutiny of the coalition partners who could shape the next government? From the cost of living and tax promises to health, education and law and order, the panel picks apart the exchanges that mattered.
