TVNZ debates

TVNZ has announced five debates:

1. Tues 19 Sep: PMs debate No 1
2. Mon 25 Sep: Young Voters’ Debate (online)
3. Tue 26 Sep: Kaupapa Māori Debate (online)
4. Thu 5 Oct: Multi-party Leaders’ Debate
5. Thu 12 Oct: PMs debate No 2

Personally I think it is ridiculous to have two of the three televised debates occurring after advance voting starts. By Thu 12 October, over half the country may have voted.
