Christopher Luxon popularity? NZers have seen enough
Christopher Luxon popularity isn’t suffering because voters “miss out” on the real man. It’s suffering because New Zealanders have seen enough already — the smugness, the entitlement, the policy cruelty dressed up as competence, and the dead-eyed Christianity used as branding.
Amanda Luxon on PM’s popularity: NZers ‘miss out’ on the full story
Amanda Luxon has suggested selective information may be to blame for her husband Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s polling numbers.
Speaking to the Dom Harvey Podcast, she suggested people are often surprised when they meet her husband in person and said, in New Zealand, there are “relatively few mechanisms for getting information out”.
“I actually feel as though New Zealanders are somewhat given a disservice. The information that comes up is quite a selective piece of information,” she said.
“It’s chosen by people, and we believe what’s been given to us is the full story. We believe it is the correct story, and we believe it is factual and doesn’t have an agenda or bias by anybody.
“But I can sometimes go, ‘were they at the same thing I was at?’ because in fact this was a really great event or a very great occasion, but what’s reported is this tiny little you know, petty sort of thing on the side, and New Zealanders miss out.”
She was speaking after a Taxpayers’ Union Curia poll in March showed the National Party on a historically low 28%.

No, no, no, no ‘Manda.
It’s not that we haven’t seen enough of your hubby in action and thus have the wrong opinion of him, we’ve seen plenty of him and appreciate he’s a privileged rich prick Christian, who has changed capital gains laws and then personally benefited from it while pursuing a deeply flawed right economic agenda while allowing ACT and NZ First to pass culture war revenge fantasies as social policy.
We’ve seen your hubby, and we fucking loathe him, love!
It’s not a miscommunication, we’ve seen him, we don’t like him.
This isn’t selective coverage — it’s Christopher Luxon popularity collapsing
As for this…
…I’m no theologian but I’m pretty sure Jesus would have hated all of the Prime Minister’s policies.
The problem isn’t media bias — it’s the hypocrisy
He’s not only an entitled rich prick, he’s a hypocritical Christian to boot.
Christians like Luxon don’t honour Jesus — they use him as cover.
People of character and morals the Prime Minister and his wife, more than can be said of others.
How are they people of morals? Luxon calls poor people bottom feeders. They only rule for the landed gentry. So because they are wealthy they are morally superior? I think Luxon lacks morals and character by punching down on people less fortunate than he is. He went to my high school and is just another white privileged male from East Auckland. Yawn.
Dear Amanda, of course you love your husband and can only think positive thoughts about him, however the reality is that he has done “stuff all” for NZ and its voters. He should never have been elected as PM – he is not PM material so needs to return to a job that is more fitting. So please don’t be dismayed. He will be back home for good very soon.
The personality of the country’s leader is less important than the job he or she does. Churchill was unpleasant but saved England .Stalin was a terrible person and caused the death of millions but he saved Russia and perhaps the World . Luxon was on the brink of turning the economy around but the World has been changed and I am afraid the Party in power will get the blame for the country’s bad shape .
You were doing so well until you said Luxon was on the brink of turning things around, that’s pure nonsense on your part, thankfully over 70% of the country know your comment to be false.
On the brink of rescuing the economy? Please elaborate. You are living in an alternate reality to most other New Zealanders bro.
Bob has set the moral bar very low to match his intellect. The country has witnessed Luxon the moron and he wont last until the election.
