“At the end of the day it comes down to the economy,” Luxon said on what the big difference is between Labour and National after the two leaders agreed on several topics during the recent leader's debate. 

Luxon told Mike Hosking that the party is working incredibly hard to pull the undecided 12% vote onto their side.

When asked why Luxon wasn’t being “upfront” on what his coalition plans would be if he won, Luxon said the nature of MMP meant he had to keep his options open.

“David and I have a good personal relationship, we do catch up and talk regularly,” Luxon said of the ACT Party leader.

Luxon would not confirm whether he would work with Winston Peters after being repeatedly grilled by Hosking.

“All I can say Mike is it depends on what happens on the night.

“I will work with whatever the New Zealand people give me, my preference is a National-ACT coalition,” Luxon.
