Honestly, the full quote is much more qualified but makes very little sense???

He was asked who he would vote for if he couldn't vote for the Opportunity Party. “Maybe the National Party,” Eb said.

Asked why, Eb responded that he used to vote for them.

"I used to vote for them a lot of the time when I was a younger person, and then I changed a little bit and started voting for other parties.

"I voted for the Green Party before; I almost voted for the Te Pāti Māori party before. So I'd probably just go back to what I used to do, which is not a good reason to do anything,” Eb said.

Thanks Marc, I find this a more balanced take than some others I've seen this morning. One thing that baffles me though that I'd appreciate your insight on is how all the commentators I've seen have ignored the polling TVNZ was doing live, which showed Hipkins did better on those measures - why?

I just - they saw the numbers right? Whence evidence-based punditry. There's contrarianism and then there's making yourself look completely out of touch, or just a craven PR flack.

Mani Dunlop seemed very weird in her focus on theatre. Girl, you want excitement? In this economy? We are tired. The country wants a man who stands very still and looks with anger at Christopher Luxon like he hates and disdains him, because according to polling this is highly relatable.

I'm no Hipkins fangirl but it was a bit of a whiplash tuning into the last bit of the debate, seeing this come up, and then segue straight into the panel of Tova and the politics-knowers saying no-one won this debate, and even B*n Th*m*s absolutely dailing it in to say Luxon marginally won somehow

Dan beat me to it but it's actually a reaction to this moment... Luxon: [rules out Opportunity because 'no new taxes'] Hipkins: But you're happy to work with racists.

Impossible to invent something as absurd as the Minister for Cracking Down On Truancy And School Lunches not knowing it is the school holidays www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Oct 6, 2026 2:56 PM
RNZ Live
'Why are you not in school?' It’s school holidays

David Seymour stopped to speak to some children at Velocity Valley in Rotorua, giving them a piece of advice.

“Don’t trust politicians,” he said. “Are you a politician?,” they questioned.

After the three children asked if he was going to be on the news and waved at the cameras, he said: “hey, one question, how come you guys aren’t at school?”

It’s school holidays, they said.

Seymour said they could still go into school, but the kids didn’t seemed thrilled by that idea.

“No, it’s ok,” they said before walking away.

For me Opportunity's position on Fair Pay Agreements and unions seems v inconsistent with a lot of their other positioning so far this campaign, but makes sense if you think about their big funder sadly.

Labour allocated no money to reversing any of this Government's benefit changes, such as indexing benefits to inflation or removing jobseeker from many 18-19-year-olds. All Barbara Edmonds would tell me about their approach was her focus was on employment: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...

‘Our focus is employment’: Edmonds coy on reversing benefit cuts

Barbara Edmonds has refused to say whether she will reverse any of the current Government’s benefit reforms, after her fiscal plan allocated no new money to social development.
