Luxon and Hipkins clash in final leaders' debate

You know, if all the leaders' debates were going to be moderated by white men, they should have just gotten a guy named Chris to do it. For the laughs. #nzpol

Will tonight be the night Hipkins actually says "bullshit" to Luxon. I've had this feeling his campaign launch bit was planned, and it'd make sense to actually call it in the last debate.

Hipkins (and Labour) are beholden to corporate lobbyists before the people. Wanna know something? The guy who was head of Public Policy for Meta (Nick McDonnell) was also policy Manager for Labour's Business Advisory Council. Oh and would you look at that. He's a fan of Luxon too. #nzpol

Can’t stress the point enough, but when Luxon & Hipkins say gangs “peddle misery & death & suffering", and “perpetuate violence ”, no-one stops to ask how politicians like them do so at a far worse level here & abroad and thus provide no example of ‘moral behaviour’ for others to follow 🧵 #nzpol

Why all this boring talk about back to basics, let's go forward into complexity because let's face it, that's what's coming our way anyhow. #nzpol

This sort of thing is why people who say there’s no real difference between the two major parties and the two major Chrises are wrong. Luxon is (probably) transphobic and is definitely espousing dangerously anti trans policies. Hipkins is not. #nzpol

'Cocaine not normal in my social circles' Luxon *John Key Coughs #nzpol

You start a conversation, you can't even finish it You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed Say something once, why say it again? Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?💩4️⃣🧠🥚 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

HE DOESNT FEEL SAFE in a polarised divided political environment he has spent 3 years fuelling by appealing to every cooker nutjob out there?!?! Oh cry me a fucking river. Fuck right off Winston. #nzpol

#nzpol Don't know about the rest of you but I have never shouted "SHUT UP!" at the TV so much. Non-existent moderation of Luxon's endless blathering.

#nzpol I’m calling 18-20% for the Greens. Stoked to see the manufactured gangs outrage hasn’t affected the Greens polling one jot.

Luxon: my plan is to grow the economy Hipkins: you shrunk the economy! #nzpol

Luxon 'stopping the dumb stuff in the back office'. SMH the contempt he shows for the people making our services work is so toxic #nzpol

They’ve used the overhang rule for Epsom and Peter Dunne before then to manipulate mmp for years. Why is it spoken now like it’s a new idea? And why objections now when it’s not new 🤷‍♀️ #nzpol #stuff #debate

#NZpol Reposting as a reminder of ships Luxon+Willis threw away, along with a lot of money, and that we still haven’t got replacements yet… We’d already have the first of the original by now.
