How The Post reports on NZ going into recession

The headline:

National Party fails to land blows on Labour despite news of a recession

So they manage to take the fact that under Labour we have gone into recession, and turned it into a negative story for National.

The lead para:

Despite National calling news the economy went into recession a “big flashing red light” for all New Zealanders, the economic downturn has yet to develop into a full-on election battle.

That is a weird take as the economy and cost of living score around five times as many people saying it is the most important issue as anything else, and Chris Hipkins has ditched multiple policies to try and focus on the economy. Not sure how you conclude the economic downturn is not a massive election battle.
