Chris Luxon and his Amazing Technicolor dream skin-suit
I love the Amazing Technicolor dream skin-suit that every Government apologist attempts to wrap Luxon in.
Every month there’s a new narrative coat wrapped around the Emperor which quickly gets dumped the moment it gets seen through.
The right wing apologists for Luxon first claimed he wasn’t a politician so that’s why he was so useless and had to keep u-turning on things he’d said 24 hours earlier.
Then the apologists attempted to sell him as the great deal maker, which looked farcical after ACT and NZ First screwed National over.
Then they tried to pretend he was moderate and not extreme despite:
- Attacking Worker Rights
- Attacking Renter Rights
- Taking $555million form the poorest families
- Vandalising Public transport
- Starting a race baiting war on Māori while attempting to legislate away the Treaty.
- Stopping cameras on fishing fleets.
- Robbing Climate Change funds and road safety funds for tax cuts to rich people.
- Allowing 8000 tobacco deaths for tax cuts WHILE GETTING US INTO A COUNTER PRODUCTIVE AMERICAN WAR!!!!
NOW as the shear lie of National not being extremist sinks beneath the surface, it’s Luxon the super strategist chess player Svengali who is playing us all into thinking he’s a weak willed moron when really he is super clever and tricking us.
FFS.
The right Wing are so in shock at how feckless Luxon is, the apologists are manufacturing him into a Machiavellian mastermind.
At the moment he is talking out both sides of his mouth regarding the Treaty Principle’s Referendum.
He tells Māori one thing and the Press Gallery another.
Even if we are to believe him, he’s saying he’ll allow the race baiting to occur minus any real chance of it happening.
That’s worse than not having a good faith debate!
He has allowed us to be sucked into the American vortex in the Red Sea and he looked terrified at Waitangi.
He’s a virgin at an orgy.
The truth is Luxon was a middle manager CEO who ran a mens deodorant company and had the cushy NZ owned Air NZ and has zero political values beyond loving God.
He is being played by David Seymour and Winston Peters
The Right refuse to accept this and so we get this never ending wardrobe change of a narrative structure trying to explain Luxon to voters.
If there wasn’t so much at stake, it would be sadly funny.
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.

Stopping cameras on fishing boats is bad and relates to Shane Jones connections all the other points are only how you see things not how I see them.
I except you are probably better informed than me so in an argument you may be right and can convince me I am wrong .
Shane Jones is a dodgy bastard. The fishing industry, at least in Auckland and North seems to have too many dodgy corrupt types. He needs to go now.
As for seeing things Trevor, I am not sure how else you would see the climate piece. These guys are ideological wankers pure and simple but we get all this “woke” labelling thrown at the left. Nowadays woke seems to mean anything that’s not acting like a total arsehole towards other people or anything sustainable. They cancel things but they don’t have alternatives. They are useless and we should embarrassed that these dickheads are in charge. Labours ineptness pales in comparison to these tossers. Act and NZF might be the worst of the three, but National as a party have lost it as badly as Labour have.
I always like your replies as they are reasoned and not personnal as some are. That is why I read this blog rather than those of the right which could easily just be an echo chamber .This way you see what other think and you can ponder on your own thoughts.
Re Shane Jones he is an unpleasant slimball and I hate the fact he is my team so to speak.Still Luxon did warn us about voting NZF.
Yes, Wheel I see some of our Local councils are broke and have no money to pay for three waters. Now Councils have to inflict pain on their rate payers. Our councils only have themselves to blame.
He’s a leader whose junior officers openly disagree with him–a Clayton’s leader!
And let’s not forget his government’s stance on Gaza. In his speech at Waitangi he said “we [the government] believe in the rule of law.” Perhaps it should have been – ” we believe in the rule of war.”
As mentioned in Bomber’s piece yesterday (on the abandonment of youngest generation), these neoliberals are essentially defeatists: proponents of ‘managed decline’, a term coined by Lord Sir Geoffrey Howe during the Thatcher administration. The associated propaganda seems to have produced a kind of national inferiority complex in places like N.Z. and Eastern Europe, and even a kind of anti-patriotism.
But one must also remember that this spiral into backwardness is actually considered to be a triumph by people like English, Thatcher, Blair etc. The intent of neoliberal internationalisation — dubbed ‘globalism’ by Kissinger, also called ‘controlled disintegration’ by Fred Hirsch and Paul Volker — was always to lower wages, transfer the wealth upward, and then smash national sovereignty (in order to prevent angry workers and farmers from rolling back any changes).
We’re dying of the same things Rome died of – a lack of civic virtue, corrupt leadership, a debased rich elite.
