Leaders lock horns in first televised debate of campaign

From Morning Report, 7:07 am on 20 September 2023

Chris Hipkins and Christopher Luxon locked horns Tuesday night in their first televised campaign debate - a sometimes scrappy, but ultimately unspectacular affair.

The TVNZ debate saw the Labour and National leaders face off for the first time outside of Parliament in a closely watched clash.

Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch was there.
