Te Piringa Student Events Association and Te Awa Kōtui Waikato Students’ Union are coming together to host an event very creatively named ‘The Debate’. On August 10th representatives from ACT, Labour, National, NZFirst, The Greens, TOP, & Te Pāti Māori will gather in the Pā, putting themselves under the scrutiny of tertiary-aged students the likes of which could be a serious deciding bloc in cities like Kirikiriroa if enough of us decide to give a fuck this time around. Which we should. If you’re reading this, you should make sure you’re enrolled to vote.
A specific topic of debate hasn’t been announced, but attendees are gonna get the opportunity to ask questions that matter to them which may be where the parties come to talk fast and sharp and over each other.
This is a unique opportunity for students in Hamilton to actually get a look at the type of people who might be orchestrating the next three years of our country’s history, doors open at 5:00 PM.
