Chris Luxon: “Mate, look, you need to listen to Taylor Swift when she says I need you to calm down.”
Chris Hipkins: “I’m not going to calm down… your moral compass is gone.”
'Labour hasn't done anything to eliminate it': Hipkins confronted by debate audience member on poverty after he slams Luxon's 'moral compass' dlvr.it/SxKtl5
Hipkins doesn’t want to see children living in poverty yet under his watch there is now a record 211,000 children in benefit dependent homes. 1 in 5 are now being raised in benefit dependent homes. He is not aspirational for these children.

@DavidMacLeod_@ChrisPenknz Would those low blows be with a bed leg? Would that plan include taking $2billion from the poorest and giving it to a few ultra rich landlords?
@dick_numbers@ChrisPenknz@1NewsNZ And we're stood down or sacked. Uffendil violently assualted a sleeping child with a block of wood. And terrorised a woman to flee from her home through her bedroom window. Luxon covered it all up and kept the guy on.
Chris Hipkins has fired back at Christopher Luxon's criticism of the last governments string of stood down MPs.
#WATCH the final 1News Leaders' Debate: 1news.co.nz/2023/10/12/liv…
30 year Infrastructure plans & 10 year city and regional deals will mean certainty under @NZNationalParty. Waikato Expressway extension Cambridge to Piarere would be finished next year if Labour hadn’t cancelled it. Our communities deserve better.

@ChrisPenknz What the hell are you talking about? Is this you coping with the fact Luxon turned out to be a shallow, mediocre, marketing manager and not your great white saviour?
It's one thing to lose a debate or even an election, if that's what Hipkins is about to do.
But it wasn't necessary for him to lose his dignity as well.
