He’s proved middle management at best. His policies are Jacinda’s. His social media posts appear like skits. His media interviews are train wrecks.
The man in the pub has no clue what he stands for. His team cringes at his attempts to connect. Chris Hipkins can’t believe his luck.
Two unforced errors that an average politician would sail through have scuppered him.
The first was Mike Hosking asking him if he would have sacked Andrew Bayley if he had not resigned. It was a softball question. Mr Luxon could not answer. Mike Hosking lobbed the question gentler and gentler every-which-way like the Good Samaritan repeatedly throwing a life buoy to a drowning man. Luxon thrashed in the water resolutely refusing to save his own life.
It was hard to watch but impossible to turn away. Just answer. Any answer. But no. It was about his expectations. And the former minister knew what they were. And that was that. It made no sense.

The Hosking question brought into sharp focus that Chris Luxon stands for nothing. He has no resolve. He has no bottom line. He is a ditherer and a follower. He is not a leader. And even in his dithering he is cack-handed and inept.
The second incident is more troubling. A caring pre-school teacher emailed the PM concerned:

Thank you for your email to the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Christopher Luxon.
Christopher is a proud supporter of the LGBTQI+ community and wants New Zealand to be a country that celebrates and supports diversity, including our rainbow community.
Nga mihi nui
That lands with a thump.
The Prime Minister is told of pre-schoolers confused about whether they are boys or girls or something else. They are wanting to be called they/thems or he/shes. His response is not to express alarm. Or to investigate.
His response is to support it. No, not just to support it, but to celebrate it. I can see no other way to read his response. It’s true he did not type out the email. The email was sent by his Correspondence Lead Advisor. But that is his postion. At the time of writing, she still has the job. Mr Luxon has not retracted her statement. We can take it as the Prime Minister of New Zealand’s position.
The country gasped when Prime Minister Chris Hipkins needed to be briefed to answer the question, What is a woman? Prime Minister Chris Luxon had time to formulate his answer and his answer is clear: he supports and celebrates 3, 4 and 5 year olds being confused over whether they are boys, girls, or something else on the alphabet plus spectrum.
And he is unequivocal. He can’t say whether he would have sacked Mr Bayley but he’s clear he supports and celebrates our preschoolers changing their sexual identity like it’s a game of cops and robbers.
And so Prime Minister Chris Luxon is toast.
Family First’s Bob McCoskrie has broadcast the email and Mr Luxon’s response. Bob is New Zealand’s foremost conservative commentator with a reach right around and across New Zealand like no one else. He is a media force. Of course, he has been deplatformed for years but has spent the years building his own media platforms through Family First. He produces news and commentary of better quality than anything the legacy media can achieve and has a commensurate and committed reach.

Of course, it is not only conservative Christians upset by Mr Luxon’s support and celebration of trans preschoolers. It is most parents. That is not what we want for our kids.
And so it’s not just the transactivists who want to rainbow our toddlers but our very own Prime Minister who for now has the title of leading the National Party. It can’t be for much longer.

Wake up, National !!
He Must GO !!
His staff don' even know how to say 'gidday' and 'kind regards'
How sad.
Go now, don't hang about and make it worse than the current debacle.
It's been more than a year of making the Ardern shambles seem reasonable - enough time wasted going backwards.
What about his promise to stop the maorification of New Zealand?? and then there's the decision to send 24B to who knows where in order to meet our climate commitments. Our health system could certainly use that amount of money, never mind other services. I agree...He must GO!!
And don't start me on pine trees and cattle reduction!!!

On too many issues Luxon wants to appease everyone.
Except his own voters !
I'd vote to sack him on the strength of the letter to the pre-school teacher alone.
I am seriously concerned to read this p-o-v by Mr Hide. Mr Luxon led the Nats (+Coalition) out of the desert created by the riffraff of the previous six years - but w-t-h have we gone since then?
I, now an elderly citizen of 75+ years, have a constantly nagging feeling that Mr Luxon is leading, as it were, by inaction and fluffing about, NZ into oblivion. There are so many hangovers from 2017-23 to cure, but little appears to be happening. I know some of that is due to media bias, and I take little notice of it - but where are the changes for the good!?
Sorry but cannot agree with Rodney, the ACT leader who preached one thing but did the exact opposite.
Let’s see if this comment gets printed.
It’s not Luxon’s policies, it’s the National Parties’ policies. He’ll just get replaced by the next timid idiot like Willis or even Stanford who won’t stand up for democracy and women’s hard won rights. Willis has already disparaged voters over 40 because we believe in one person, one vote, and both women have denied that trans ideology is even an issue for women and girls in our schools, sports, midwifery care, language, changing rooms etc.
Then there’s the scamdemic and the vaccines.
I can’t think of anyone in National, apart from Judith Collins who the media hates even more than Luxon, that isn’t just Labour with a blue tie.
They suck. But more importantly, NZ voters suck as they’re following the pied piper of progressive BS & leading us all of a cliff.
In attempting to befriend and appease all, he's lost the mandate of his Party's core support. He is no leader and now needs to be gone.
PM Luxon should have the right to explain who wrote the letter.
Did he sign the letter personallly? If YES then good riddance .
Why does the PM have to be from National . Peters or Seymour would be a better bet than the National wanna be's
Rodney, when you posted your opine on the attempt, by you, to speak to the High School Board, in your residential domain, in my posted comment I asked where the Min of Education was/ in relation to the treatment ' handed out you by both school Principal & Board '. Something that should have had " a person of substance replicating the Charge of The Light brigade, into asking ' what the ....... '? Nah.
IF - big IF - he is replaced, but by who/whom - I would hope that it is not the current Min Of -
-Education
- Finance
- Health - as these 3 present a similar apathy, as Luxon.
I am not sure who else with the current National Party, present in Parliament has the - (word is withheld due to potential censorship rules) - but think Mexican - that can lead a political party in our current environment.
And we thought Labour were bad.
Is it not interesting, that in America, there has been a " charge against DEI " and guess which distinct group are part of that ecosystem!
Replace him with Maureen Pugh.
Wise choice.
