After the NZ right berated us about summer holidays, the PM is still not at work?
Wait, wait, wait.
After the NZ Political Right berated us for our Summer holidays…
Simon Bridges questions NZ’s long summer break: ‘Are we still in holiday mode until March?’
The head of the Auckland Business Chamber says there are “solid reasons” for a shorter summer holiday period, but changing it would be hard.
Simon Bridges said people feel “entitled” to a long summer; however, he questioned whether the world has changed.
His comments came after a recent column in The Post suggested New Zealand’s summer break was too long.
In his column, Toss Grumley argued that the New Zealand summer break is too extreme.
…a point Luxon agreed with…
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, asked about the issue on Newstalk ZB, declined to say whether the long Kiwi summer should change, but said in the US, where he spent 16 years, workers “maybe get two weeks’ annual leave”, Christmas is “a couple of days off”, and people generally return to work on January 3 or 4. He expects to do the same this year.
…after they berated us about having a Summer holiday, turns out the boss is still kicking it at home…
Christopher Luxon working from home as year gets underway
Luxon has not released any statements on Venezuela, with foreign affairs minister Winston Peters leading the government’s communications instead.
Luxon’s only social media posts this year have been to wish the country a happy new year, and a video from December’s press conference announcing free trade negotiations with India had concluded.
Asked by RNZ whether Luxon was back at work, what he was doing, and where he was working from, a spokesperson said Luxon was in Auckland working from home, planning for the year ahead.
…just another example of one rule for them and one rule for us.
This is who you elected NZ.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Wages and salaries haven’t kept pace with productivity increases for decades.
As some right wing cunt once said, “show us the money!”
Its very clear its nothing but bullshit from Luxon and his mob of bovine scat
We have a foreign ministry to deal with affairs that take place in other countries so surely it is down to Peters to deal with initial feed back . This PM. knows he has a good team and he does not need to be their voice His approach is one that all successful CEOs follow when running a business effectively.
So why was he a failure at Air NZ
Trevori is trying to say the PM’s “approach” is hands off and he’s fucking good at it! He’s actually excellent at it but fucking useless at running a country effectively as record numbers leaving is all the evidence we need. In Australia 91 octane is $1.48 and electricity cheap. Luxon keeps both high because he is in the consortium’s pockets.
Which home is he working from? Hawaii? Te Puke?
