Want a GREAT night out at THE GREAT DEBATE? Thursday 29th August 2019

Clare from Hataitai

The bustastrophe might be a cruel joke for many, but you can still have the last laugh at one of Wellington’s best-known celebrity debates. Going by past years, the 'wheels on the bus' moot this year will just be the starting point for a free, frank, fast and furious roasting of the bus fiasco. As well as an evening of witty repartee and soaring oratory, there are prizes, nibbles, drinks and musical entertainment with locals The Wooden Box Band, all at The Pines on Wellington’s south coast.

TICKETS $25 BUY HERE: the-great-debate.lilregie.com...

Started 22 years ago by Annette King, The Great Debate is held annually as a fundraiser for Houghton Valley Playcentre, and has achieved a minor notoriety for its ribald take on current events, with prominent figures such as Grant Robertson, Winston Peters sparring. This year Dave Armstrong, Paul Eagle, Georgina Campbell, and a strong line-up of local councillors including Brian Dawson, David Lee and Daran Ponter, will duke it out over the bus route brouhaha.
