Luxon left NZ in 1995. His image of NZ people is of that era. He is most comfortable talking to residents of retirement village in east Auckland. That’s the language they relay to.

Watching TVNZ News of Bolger’s legacy the contrast of Bolger with all subsequent Nat leaders, particularly the current numpty, seemed so stark. Shipley was disastrous & nasty: Key was visionless; Luxon is untethered from reality. @nznationalparty.bsky.social #NZPol

Jim Bolger's 'very significant legacy' remembered

Sir Geoffery Palmer and Dame Jenny Shipley have spoken to Breakfast about the "brave" former Prime Minister following his death.

National stabbed Bolger for
1. Māori Treaty Settlements
2. MMP
3. Stating that we are physically closer to Asia than England.
4. Being an Irish Catholic proposing an NZ Republic.
5. Dumping Richardson

An embalmed Jim Bolger will undoubtedly have more personal charisma than a fully conscious Christopher Luxon

Why can’t people who work and tax taxes for decades in Aotearoa not get citizenship without swearing allegiance to an English King?
Particularly galling for people who arrived in NZ from places oppressed by the English.
Why do we have 🇬🇧 in our flag? @nzrepublic.bsky.social

Luxon left New Zealand in the mid 90s. His view of NZ is fixed in the 80s & early 90s.
That is why he seems so ‘other worldly’.

Luxon is providing ‘welfare’ to corporate NZ in anticipation of picking up nice board roles when he does a lateral arabesque.

Please god, let Christopher Luxon stay on as National Leader so he can lose the election because it will be so funny #NZPol

No work today. Good weather and good workers but chilling in smoko room and doing odd jobs in the yard. Thanks Nicola Willis. #NZPol

Nicola Willis talks to us like we’re twits

“Last week, Willis came out and blamed our even more dismal than expected fall in GDP for the June quarter on international pressures from Trump,” says Verity Johnson.

New Zealand is punching above its weight in cowardice

Winston Peters promised that New Zealand’s recognition of Palestine was a matter of 'when, not if', which has a real deadbeat-dad-promises-he’ll-have-his-shit-together-next-week air about it....

Nah, Luxon’s incompetence isn’t a predictor of future governments. Hopefully it’s an end to mediocre cis het white men stepping up and bringing us all down.
