  1. The laughable thing is go to the height of lockdowns ( especially pre Omicron) and National despite all the bleating we’re not that much different in their proposed response. From memory the vaccination target was lower for National, and they actually wanted to build a massive isolation hotel near Auckland airport.

    Who are all these fearful people? Are they the ones that sold out Eden Park or Forsyth Barr stadium? The gates are open at the airport. Lex is now calling kiwis wimps?

    He was rather general with his comments saying everyone has moved on ditched measures. Singapore might be moving on but they have plenty of measures in place according to a friend who just returned. You would also hope Europe is getting to enjoy the fact that it is the height of summer and like nowhere near flu season! Muppet.

  2. Luxon is a treacherous scumbag and arse licker who has prostrated himself before the US and British imperialists to attack our country and government on the world stage.

    The biggest Right Wing British Prime Minister and supporter of British and US imperialism of all time, Winston Churchill, who hated the British Labour Party and government with a passion, couldn’t bring himself to sink so low.

    “When I am overseas I make it a point never to attack my country’s government. I make up for it when I get home.”,/b> Winston Spencer Churchill

    1. Luxon’s like dreadful John Key, the archetypal nouveau riche boys, clueless and classless – too dim to know.

  3. Hairless idiot. Our lockdown was constantly cited overseas as a successful strategy, even if geographical isolation also played a part. He needs a testosterone shot to help him stop his pathetic whinging when he has more buffers than many of us navigating pandemic issues. Where have all the real men gone ?

  4. We are getting our deaths now, all “we” (sacrifice primarily made by private sector business and employees and those who wouldn’t/couldn’t be vaxed) did was delay them.
    Luxon is correct, we are bordering on a frightened basket case of incompetence and government fear propaganda, it’s all they’ve got.

    1. Of course he’s correct , he’s right wing, right? Private sector taking part in the corrupt taking of government money( wage subsidy).
      The only fear is your anti left, pro right propaganda.
      Martyn was correct right wing trolls will always be negative.

      Martyn was correct right wing trolls will always be negative.

  5. He’s desperate for relevance. He’ll support any topic one week and then be against it the following week if he believes that will get him closer to being the PM. The quintessential $2 Shop Gold Rolex Watch.

    1. Seymour is gaining all the attention and sucking oxygen from the media, Luxon needs to be relevant.

  6. He is cut from the same cloth as Sir John, thats for sure. Sir John made some of his millions betting against the kiwi dollar when he traded in currency at Merrill. Now Luxon is running down his own country internationally, at the same moment that Jacinda is patching things up with Biden+Boris+Albanese+Nato+pacific forum and getting an EU FTA deal done …….quite the contrast.

    1. Biden+Boris+Albanese+Nato+pacific forum don’t have to sleep rough now do they because she has failed them badly. A fake smile is worthless. She has ruined NZ.

    2. “He is cut from the same cloth as Sir John,”

      Well that’s almost an understatement! He had Keys endorsement, so that’s a death knell..

  7. Martyn I have to agree albeit reluctantly and as well I have personally observed a growing trend amongst traditional National supporters to go with the New Conservatives, NZ First, or even the Greens while Luxon is leader of National. You also have to observe his Deputy Leader, Nicola Willis, who, while says she is up for the role, clearly is not.

  8. Well RB I hate to break it to you but gang violence and murders have been around for “ages” in NZ. Death by shooting is not new either but a house being shot is not the same thing if you are talking about actual death. Theft? You get the idea.

    Crime is unacceptable sure but don’t give me some 1ZB shit that Nat/ACT come in and it goes away. You would need police on every corner and at every shopping centre if police are to be the sole answer to crime prevention. We have seen historically that despite the bluster National would not fund that.

  9. We are dropping in every statistic of a first world country.
    Child poverty, education standards,economy,productivity ,health, housing and race relations
    Labour have been in power for 5 years. They need to own up to their stuff ups and not blame the Nats

    1. Yes Tribal the child poverty rate has dropped since the 2018 baseline. That’s a positive thing

    2. “Child poverty, education standards,economy,productivity ,health, housing and race relations”

      Yes all these things were fantastic under the National coalition. Amazing how they changed so fast.

  10. So Luxon seems to be thinking that as to appear important on the world stage he is happy to demean and denigrate NZ, NZers and now NZ businesses.
    There is something very errant with Luxon’s ‘logic’, In fact he seems to lack integrity, credibility, ethics or any sense of consideration of NZ and NZers whilst he does a speal at a function on the other side of the world.
    But my thoughts about Luxon is now why didn’t he say these VERY things here in NZ? Why chose some obscure ‘meeting’ in London to demean NZ and NZers?
    If this is the way he operates then I would say he doesn’t merit ANY votes at ANY election.
    The guy lacks morals. But then that is what probably attracted him to the NZ National Party in the first place. That and keeping John Key involved in National in some form or another.

    1. Well said JustMe …my thoughts exactly..
      Seymour and Luxon …tweedle dee and tweedle dumb.
      Those guys, like Key, are all tared with the same brush… bull shit and bravado backed by big money.
      They don’t need , or have to have, any worldliness, social conscience ,advanced general knowledge and a deep understanding of Global culture.
      No …. they can just lie with impunity and talk themselves up in such a naive way that people of a certain persuasion and financial status actually believe them.
      It tells you a lot about the human condition and despite modern Homo sapiens now being on planet earth for well over 250,000 years, they, in some way, have learnt very little and as gullible as ever to stupidity if it is said with enough confidence.

    2. JustMe. In context, he’s just the leader of a dubious political party in an isolated little country at the bottom of the world. That’s all. He doesn’t see his own place in the scheme of things. Could be touting for a job, who knows. I gather that he used to head Air New Zealand, but the how nor where nor why aren’t quite in the same category as the gorgeous hirsute King of Holland still actually flying aeroplanes for KGLM.

      The ‘big pebble in small pond’ phenomenon should have diminished a bit with globalisation, but Luxon could be more isolated than other people, he’s a bore, but the slimy skunk certainly shouldn’t have slagged us off like that.

  11. What kiwi could actually say that NZ is a better place to be now than it was 5 years ago? The only people who can genuinely say this is people like Luxon that own multiple houses. NZ is becoming a violent swamp.

    1. Nurses and teachers whose salaries are/will be far greater than when National left office, that’s who.

  12. NZers sacrificed to fight Covid and we are living with that sacrifice right now with the extra economic cost, but let’s be very clear here, Jacinda, Labour and the health experts saved this country from almost 3000 extra deaths!
    3000 extra deaths! Imagine the tsunami of grief that would have washed over us if we hadn’t implemented the measures we have now. Yes our death rates are picking up now, but that doesn’t mean the lives we saved and the measures taken to save those lives were somehow worthless!

    We should mention also that there would have been a huge cost in monetary terms to NZ from the
    extra illness, deaths and lockdowns with armed police in the streets which would have become common for enforcement purely from necessity because we were desperate and putting the country further into turmoil. (Happened elsewhere !) So Dr Bloomfield and his phalanx of thinking, practical medicos and elves and PM Jacinda and her advisors worked out a creditable approach that prevailed and got us over the worst before crumbling under pressure from hard business and trading reality that couldn’t be ignored plus fat cats bereft of their pussy treats at regular intervals.

    Luxon is one of the National fat cats and we all know they look after themselves well and don’t expect to do ;much to earn their meals, just rub your legs, purr, and not poop in the wrong places.
    A lot of politicians follow the fat cat method for sure, but National are particularly wily and adept.

  13. Martyn, you say the right bloc vote has stalled yet there are bloggers here saying that it is growing daily. Can you shed some light on this?

  14. Baldrick is not a very skilled politician to state the obvious–the exodus of National MPs, stuff ups, and scandals during the 2020 elections was something to see. He is a media creation, promoted beyond his ability and unlikely to cut through.

    Boag, Woodhouse, dick picks, Judarth, Mr Muller, Mathew Hooton, any with some talent left or were booted.

    1. Jack Marshall was last decent National party M.P…the rag tag bunch of today are an embarrassment to the New Zealand politics..
