Hooton argued Luxon was a national security risk – here’s proof
On ‘The Bradbury Group’ this week, political commentator Matthew Hooton said that Prime Minister Chris Luxon was going to lose National the 2026 election and that after his disastrous interviews on New Zealand’s position over Iran that he actually poses a ‘national security threat’.
Hooton made the comparison based on something he had read from Midnight-Oil-front-man-turned-politician, Peter Garret, who wrote in his political memoirs how he had voted against Kevin Rudd because he felt that Rudd would panic and fail under the stress of a national emergency and regarded the decision as a ‘national security threat’.
Hooton pressed the same point, that Luxon would fail under any actual emergency and that his innate weakness posed a ‘national security threat’.
…THIS is what he was talking about…
Christopher Luxon forced into another correction over Iran war visas
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has made a personal explanation in the House on Tuesday night, after he stated incorrectly the government was automatically extending visas for people in New Zealand affected by the war in Iran.
The Greens co-leader said he “snuck” into the House “late last night” to correct the record and it shows he’s “not across his brief”.

…this would have been a security disaster if it had actually been the policy. Chloe is eviscerating…
Swarbrick said it’s disconcerting to have a leader of New Zealand talking about things that are “currently so much of a powder keg” and every time he opens his mouth “we have no idea how that is going to place our country in the context of the very tense international relations at play”.
“He simply does not seem to understand the weight of the things that he is talking about, or the substance or logic that sits behind them.”
Swarbrick said on Wednesday the Prime Minister had effectively said a blanket extension was happening when “we know it wasn’t happening”.
…THIS is what Hooton was saying when he argued that Luxon was a national security threat.
The rumours on the TDB Whistleblower Tipline are once again circulating against Luxon’s leadership and National Party Polling Wizard, David Farrar, must have the data now that shows National are sinking BECAUSE of Luxon, not despite him.
