AzuraHost

0:32

This is something that you guys have obviously already, you know, filmed and recorded.

A

AzuraHost

0:37

A

AzuraHost

0:41

You know, what can viewers expect if they do decide to tune in?

Scotty MorrisonGuest

0:46

Oh, it's live.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

0:47

Oh, it's live? Yeah, it's live, mate.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

0:49

So we've been working on it for the last couple of weeks.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

0:55

And it's been very interesting, the process, because usually I go into a lot of things not as prepared as I am for tonight.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

1:05

But TVNZ is taking this very seriously.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

1:07

And I think it is the first time we've had a specific kaupapa Māori debate in primetime on TVNZ.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

1:15

So 7.30 tonight live, it's going to go out.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

1:17

We've got a live studio audience coming in.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

1:20

We've got representatives from Māori Party, ACT, New Zealand First, Labour, the Greens, National and Opportunity.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

1:32

And so they'll be putting their best foot forward, obviously.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

1:35

But we've really refined our question line and it's going to be pacey.

Scotty MorrisonGuest

1:39

and interesting and we've got a few curveballs in there to throw so we'll see how they get on tonight in the heat of battle in the heat of the moment yeah
