A great debate in Wellington tonight

I’m in Auckland and gutted I will miss the Vice-Chancellor’s Debate tonight. But if you are in Wellington and want an entertaining 90 minutes I recommend you pop into the Vic Law School.

Date: Monday 17 October
Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Old Government Buildings lecture theatres (on the Stout Street side of the law school)

The speakers are:

For the Government – Paul Foster-Bell, Hon Christopher Finlayson, Stephen Whittington
For the Opposition – Charles Chauvel, James Shaw, Hon Shane Jones

The moot is “This house has confidence in Her Majesty’s Government”.

The debate will be hosted by the Vice-Chancellor of Victoria University, Professor Pat Walsh. Drinks and nibbles will be provided after the debate.

Considering the furore last week over Chauvel denying Whittington’s (correct) claims that Labour MPs used homopohbic nicknames against Finlayson, the debate may be a bit more cutting than normal.

You can RSVP on Facebook, but don’t need to, to attend.
