Academics at Auckland University’s Public Policy Institute (PPI) have run their eye over last night's TVNZ Leaders' Debate and given their verdict.
They found that Hipkins was right to say inflation is coming down, but partly wrong to claim National tax cuts would worsen inflation.
Meanwhile, Luxon was incorrect to claim National invented the phrase “by Māori, for Māori” but on the mark in saying retail crime had doubled in the last two years. The PPI found Luxon to be the main offender on making false claims in the debate.
