Some fun debates

The NZ Initiative has three debates coming up, where some of NZ’s best debaters will argue on topical issues. They are:

That NZ should be going for population growth, Wed 14 August, Ernst & Young, Auckland
That alcohol should not be taxed more than soft drinks, Thu 15 August, Mac’s Brewery, Wellington
That if you’re young and ambitious you should leave NZ, Thu 22 August, City Gallery, Wellington

I’m on the post debate panel for the alcohol debate, where we comment on the arguments made by the teams, and offer some observations of our own. The debates are free to attend.
