Two weeks from now the polls will be closing so political parties don't have long to convince the undecided voter.
On Saturday Labour was in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland appealing to the Rainbow community, while National was in Kirikiriroa/Hamilton attracting rural voters.
Auckland's Karangahape Road is the heart of the country's gay scene.
It's an apt place for Labour to launch its Rainbow manifesto, and Hipkins even came up with his own drag name.
"Maybe... Lippy Chippy!" he laughed.
There are three main elements: the first starts a long way from Karangahape Road, in places like Uganda - where you're beaten, tortured, and persecuted for being gay.
Labour is promising a pathway for them to Aotearoa New Zealand.
"This acknowledges support for those who are persecuted for simply being who they are," said Tangi Utikere, Labour MP for Palmerston North.
Labour also wants to overhaul adoption and surrogacy laws for Rainbow communities.
"And we'll ensure that any changes mean that Rainbow members of our community who want to form a family are treated on the same basis as heterosexual couples," Utikere said.
And the party also wants to ease blood donation restrictions on gay men and sex workers.
"We will convene a blood donation roundtable to explore the latest evidence regarding the donor-behavioural criteria."
Gay men who've been sexually active in the last three months can't give blood - even those in long-term monogamous relationships like Warren Dempsey Coy.
"Blood is blood. My blood is as good as anybody else's, it's no different. They test all blood," he said.
"What's wrong with mine?"
He has rare O-negative blood, which he's barred from donating - and he's uninspired by Labour's policy.
"It's an electioneering promise that they're bringing out. Nothing's going to change. Nothing's changed over the last three, four years. I don't see any change happening," he told Newshub.
Newshub asked National leader Christopher Luxon if gay people should be allowed to give blood regardless of sexual activity.
"Yes," he replied.
Luxon doesn't have a Rainbow policy, but says he's an advocate for the community.
"I think you can look at our record and my record. When I was at Air New Zealand, [I was] a very strong advocate for the Rainbow community." he told Newshub.
But National's record includes opposing homosexual law reform, civil unions, and many of its MPs oppose marriage equality.
"Do you personally support gay marriage?" Newshub asked Luxon.
"Yes I do. Yes I think anyone should be free to love whoever they want," he said.
But he did come under pressure while walking about a mall in Kirikiriroa/Hamilton to re-criminalise abortion and scrap abortion clinic safe zones.
"The Catholic vote in New Zealand is huge, and that's a real..." said one woman to Luxon at the mall.
"I appreciate that, but the laws are set and we need to respect them," Luxon replied.
"But you guys are in Parliament. You can change the laws," the woman interrupted.
"Yep, we're not going to do that," Luxon fired back.
There were more wholesome moments though, with one enthusiastic Luxon fan saying to him "thank you, thank you so much!"
A visit to a car yard too, to re-announce National will scrap the tax on high-emissions vehicles by the end of this year, if elected.
Luxon wants to punch the clean car discount too, even though his wife and his Hamilton East MP Tama Potaka claimed it.
"Ah, there was a partial rebate on one," Potaka told Newshub.
Malls and car yards for Luxon while Hipkins was moving his hips - or at least trying to - with his Rainbow policies.
