In a little over six weeks’ time we will learn the shape of the new government which will guide Aotearoa for the next three years. Advance voting starts on September 5. Laura Rapira and Clint Smith will discuss how they see the election playing out and what they see as the key issues for our next government at 5:30pm on Thursday August 13 at Connolly Hall, Guildford Terrace, Wellington.
