Both of the campaigning Chrises are standing by commitments they made on Wednesday night during Newshub's leaders' debate, despite the big bill they will likely require.
National leader Christopher Luxon on Thursday also made another promise to ban gang patches in public as soon as he can - but isn't promising to back up his tax plan numbers by putting his job on the line.
Luxon was absolutely, definitely off to Te Puke on Thursday after being caught last year saying on Facebook he was there, when he was on holiday in Hawaii.
It was a whistlestop to prove a point, then on to find some friendly supporters.
He found friendlier encounters than the great clash of the Chrises on Wednesday night.
But among the combat, the two leaders did find some common ground - including working together on climate change and moving communities out of harm's way, equal pay for all nurses, exploring menopause leave and lowering the screening age for bowel cancer.
Both Luxon and Labour's Chris Hipkins stuck to those commitments in the light of the day.
Luxon said: "I stand by our committment on bowel cancer. It is something that Shane Reti and I have been talking about for sometime."
"In something like screening for bowel cancer, for example, there are both ups and downs to that. Yes, it costs a bit more. But it will also save more money as well because you will end up with fewer people needing more advanced care," said Hipkins.
But it won't come cheap.
Luxon wrote some pretty big cheques with his pretty big promises on Wednesday night - but said his fiscal plan - which is out on Friday - won't need updating.
"The way we are building our fiscal plan, is we are building a significant amount of buffer to be able to deal with things like this into our plan."
However, Labour may need to revise their numbers.
"We will work through what that means," Hipkins said.
Luxon, meanwhile, is still refusing to gamble his job on his numbers - specifically the tax intake from foreigners buying luxury homes.
"I am very confident in my ability to raise money from foreign buyers too," he said.
He was able to give Kiwis certainty he was in Te Puke but not complete certainty on his numbers.
