Analysed ads
Policy
The ad depicts National, Labour, the Greens and ACT as complaining that an unspecified policy is "too hard," then contrasts them with New Zealand First and the statement, "We don't need weak leaders who don't understand New Zealand's values." No policy is identified, and the claims about weakness, difficulty and national values are political characterisations rather than specific factual propositions.

Policy
The ad reproduces a Winston Peters post arguing that Chris Hipkins supported the New Zealand-India Free Trade Agreement despite warning businesses about risks arising from differing New Zealand and Indian interpretations of an investment commitment. It also criticises National for signing the agreement before that disagreement was resolved and characterises both National and Labour as shifting the resulting risk onto businesses. The central factual elements about Labour's support and its warning to businesses are supported by Labour's own statements, while several conclusions about responsibility are political judgement rather than independently verifiable facts.
