Election 2026: Q+A Rural Issues Debate

In this special Election 2026 debate, hosted at the Morrinsville Rugby and Sports Club, Jack Tame is joined by NZ First's Mark Patterson, Greens' Steve Abel, National's Todd McClay, Labour's Jo Luxton, ACT's Andrew Hoggard, and Opportunity's Daniel Eb, in front of a live audience of Morrinsville locals, to tackle the biggest issues facing rural and regional New Zealanders today.

Candidates share their ideas around the future of dairy farming, New Zealand's Paris Accord targets, gene editing technology, pest control, rural health outcomes and more.

Te Pāti Māori was invited to attend, but they were unable to due to conflicting commitments at Koroneihana.

Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
