New Zealanders saw a clear contrast tonight. The public feedback throughout the debate spoke for itself.

Congratulations to @chrisluxonmp on a strong performance in tonightās TVNZ Leadersā Debate.
Focused, positive, and backed by a clear plan to keep fixing the basics and building the future for New Zealand.
Chris Hipkins just admitted that Labour dropped the ball on youth offending in 2023. Labour is soft on crime. National is restoring law & order.

Chris Hipkins claims that the pandemic caused ram raids.
I got COVID twice. Luckily it didn't make me start ram raiding like everyone else, according to Chris Hipkins.

After admitting that his Govt was too slow on youth crime, Chris Hipkins is trying to take credit for this Govtās 85% reduction in ram raids. Kiwis will remember 2022, with nearly two ram raids a day - more than 500% more than 2018. Labour are soft on crime.

Hipkins all over the show on petrol taxes. He can deny it all he likes but thereās a cost to their freeze of $3.2 billion. Itās not even mentioned in their fiscal plan. They now claim itās $1.8 billion (and havenāt accounted for it) but wonāt even show how they got that!
Tom Rutherford retweeted
Chris Hipkins and Labour are misleading Kiwis when they say the only tax they are taking to the election is a Capital Gains Tax.
This is untrue.
They have already announced a $5 billion Business Tax with their announced axing of Investment Boost.
And they have made it clear they will put back in place the Renters Tax by removing interest deductibility for landlords.
Labour might think they can get away with misleading Kiwis - but Kiwis know this is the same old tax and spend Labour Party.
You canāt trust Labour on Tax.
Shameful.
National MPs united in expressing disgust at this comment by Stuart Nash, sent to Chris Finlayson about Katie Nimon. thepost.co.nz/politics/36104ā¦
You couldnāt ask for a graph that more explicitly shows the difference between spending under Labour vs National.
Fixing the basics, building the future.
Families deserve answers.
National is focused on supporting victims, creating safer communities, and holding violent criminals to account.
Labour on the other handā¦
