@abcnewsaus: New Zealanders go to the polls November 7 as a tightly fought and sometimes tense election campaign winds to a close. Prime Minister and National Party Leader, Christopher Luxon, hopes to hold on to power and avoid being the first-ever conservative prime minister to serve just one term in office. His challenger, Labour Leader Christopher Hipkins, is hoping he can seize back the job he held for 10 months in 2023 when Jacinda Ardern resigned — even though it has only been three years since the Labour Party was unceremoniously turfed by voters.
