hutt south

Hutt South is being tipped as one of the most gripping electorate races this year.

The high-profile seat sees senior National MP Chris Bishop take on Labour's Justice and Police Minister, Ginny Andersen.

Bishop flipped the historically safe red seat blue in 2017, but Andersen took it back three years later.

Azaria Howell headed to Hutt City and Petone to gauge the mood of voters.
