Peter Williams: Luxon's Backdown

Why can't he show strength against the media onslaught?

Our media just do not like Christopher Luxon.

But of all the issues they could and should be attacking him on, the nonsense over his accommodation allowance is about as petty and irrelevant as you can go.

How come there has been virtually no coverage of his party back tracking on election promises to drop the 39 percent tax rate on trusts and the so called “app tax” ?

Point of Order: Buzz from the Beehive - 8/12/23

Willis fails a taxing app-titude test but govt supporters will cheer moves on Te Pukenga and the Human Rights Commission

The Minister of Defence has returned from Noumea to announce New Zealand will host next year’s South Pacific Defence Ministers’ Meeting and (wearing another ministerial hat) to condemn malicious cyber activity conducted by the Russian Government.

A bigger cheer from people who voted for the Luxon government is likely to be generated by news that the process of disestablishing Te Pūkenga is under way.
