Luxon, meanwhile, hugged supporters in Auckland on his final campaign stop as they chanted his slogan to get New Zealand “back on track.” Luxon has promised tax cuts for middle-income earners and a crackdown on crime. Hipkins says he won't strike a deal with Peters and that a three-party alliance to put Luxon in power would be a “coalition of chaos.” A win by Luxon would also end the legacy of Jacinda Ardern, who became a liberal icon to many around the world. “And we are going to restore law and order, and we are going to restore personal responsibility.” Luxon also got cheers when he promised to fix the capital's gridlocked traffic with a new tunnel project.
