Massey University's Professor Richard Shaw has written an article which says that "after the election, Christopher Luxon’s real test could come from his right – not the left" where within the article, among other thoughts he states that "Luxon leads is facing not just an election, but a generational realignment" to the right of politics.

The Govt Books are open and pretty much everyone is saying it's not too bad, not perfect, and with some troubles on the way...but overall a pretty good result as to what was being predicted...everyone that is except the National Party who seem

2023/09/11

Christopher Luxon was on Q&A in the weekend and he dodged and weaved and didn't answer questions. It was a long interview so we'll break it into two parts. The first part is tonight and focuses on Kainga Ora and funding climate change policies Winston Peters made the ludicrous statement over the weekend that Māori are not indigenous. This is pathetic word salad using a definition of indigenous that isn't anything compared to what it means in law. We'll show you what we mean and

Two particular areas of interest are the foreign buyers fee and what'll do to the housing market and who is actually getting the best break with these proposed tax cuts. We're also interested in looking at the narrative that National has come up with, doubling everything to "fortnightly" and the main stream media just running with it, which in turn, just sells the National

Chris Hipkins has ruled out working with Winston Peters, he has done this to signal to Labour's base that they can be trusted to not work with extreme views, and also to attach Winston's current views to National making him guilty by association. Luxon is also in a difficult situation as his two coalition partners are at each other's throats making the idea of coalition talks post a successful election for National a complete nightmare. +++++++++++++++ Come support the work
