Jacinda Ardern takes out Newshub debate
Jacinda Ardern nailed it in this week’s Newshub debate, holding Judith Collins to account on National’s shambolic economic plan and outlining our plan to keep New Zealand moving.
This week saw the second Leaders’ Debate of the 2020 election campaign, and Jacinda was the clear winner. She demonstrated the strong leadership and decision-making that New Zealand has to come to expect from her and that it needs going forward, as together, we continue our COVID recovery and rebuild.
During the course of the debate, Jacinda discussed our strong response to COVID, Labour’s record on health, and our plan for climate change, and she even showcased her skills in te Reo.
COVID-19 was the focus of much of the debate. Thanks to our strong health response, we’ve been able to get our economy moving faster than many other countries, and now, we’re taking advantage of the opportunities open to us because we went hard and early to fight the virus.
Jacinda talked about these opportunities during the debate, when she outlined how we will trade on our clean, green and safe brand to grow our export earnings and grow our economy.
As part of our plan to build back better, we want to continue positioning New Zealand as a clean, green and safe country to trade with. #LeadersDebate
