Following news that the Prime Minister has Covid-19 and is isolating, Stuff Group has today confirmed The Press Leaders Debate will go ahead – with a new line up. While getting both major party leaders to agree on a new date proved impossible, The Press has devised a brilliant alternative that will deliver South Island audiences a rousing debate ahead of the general election on 14 October. In its new format, The Press Leaders Debate will now see the key coalition powerbrokers face off next Tuesday, 10th October at the Christchurch Town Hall. The debate will be moderated by Hayman, alongside Stuff’s political editor Luke Malpass and chief political correspondent Tova O’Brien, and will be live-streamed on Stuff. It follows hot on the heels of The Post Finance Debate with Grant Robertson and Nicola Willis on Monday 9th October, also available live on Stuff.
