Why Luxon manages to screw it up every single holiday
The fiasco over whether Luxon was actually working over the Summer managed to become another minefield for the Prime Minister to navigate.
His missing in action routine quickly followed up with a claim he was working from home triggered two issues of hypocrisy, but there is also a background problem Luxon has managed to trip every holiday.
First the two hypocrisies.
His missing in action over the holidays occurred after the Political Right in NZ had been bitching about the length of time Kiwis take off over the Summer Holidays AND after the Government had attacked public servants for working from home.
After shitting on workers for taking time off AND for working from home, the Prime Minister was then off for the Summer holidays AND working from Home.
It’s good for the PM, it ain’t good for everyone else.
Those hypocrisies aside, Chris has never dealt with Holidays well because of his extreme privilege.
Remember when they tried to claim he was in Te Puke when he was really overseas at his Hawaiian mansion…
Christopher Luxon’s social media suggested he was in Te Puke – he was actually overseas on holiday
…remember how he was taking the housing allowance and kept saying he was ‘entitled’ to it…
PM Christopher Luxon’s allowance saga raises questions about politician entitlements
…remember how he gained personally from changing the rules on capital gains…
‘I’m wealthy and I’m sorted’: PM makes no apology for capital gains on Wellington apartment
…remember how he took the Tesla EV subsidy…
Christopher Luxon heckled to repay $8k Tesla subsidy as Government ditches ‘ute tax’
…remember how he managed to get a rates rebate on his Waiheke holiday mansion…
Christopher Luxon gets rates relief after challenging luxury Waiheke property valuation
…remember when parents complained about the poorly cooked slop ACT had denigrated our school lunches into and his comment was ‘make them a marmite sandwich”.
Remember all that?
Political commentators keep saying Luxon misread’s the room which is utter bullshit!
They all misread Luxon!
He sees his privilege through his prosperity theology paradigm where he has 7 properties because Jesus loves him – his accomodation allowance is a prosperity given to him by Jesus – that’s why he took so long to u-turn!
It’s like Abraham’s blessings but on meth.
It’s what Bishop Brian Tamaki believes in.
The Bish has a huge gold watch, beautiful houses and expensive motorcycles because God loves Brian ever so much he is publicly blessing him with prosperity to bring more souls to Christ.
Hiding your prosperity when Jesus has given you the wifi password to heaven is considered a terrible shame.
For Luxon, him having 7 properties is proof positive that Jesus loves him, and hiding any of the prosperity and privilege that comes with being loved ever so much by Jesus is sinful.
Chris dug his heels in over his EV subsidy and paying himself $1000 per week to hire his own apartment while demanding brutal austerity for everyone else because Jesus loves him dammit!
If Jesus wants to give Chris all these privileges and benefits, then Christopher fucking Luxon deserves everything God wants to give him!
All hail baby Jesus!
If NZ was Air NZ, Luxon only cares about First Class, Business Class and considers joking with the Pilots as working class.
Those in cattle class are the middle classes & those who work outside the plane are the Bottom Feeders who never get to fly.
They exist to maintain the privilege of those who are flying.
This is the new class system of NuZilind.
The shock by almost the entire Press Gallery at how poorly Luxon handled the Accomodation subsidy highlights Luxon’s tone deaf entitled evangelical prosperity theology privilege.
I love how easy it is to read Luxon.
He is a gut politician, his first response to any social issue is a really weird and tone deaf statement that always exposes how genuinely Old Testament conservative Christian he really is with all the fake sincerity of an Air NZ safety advert masquerading as a corporate diversity virtue signal.
Before he was PM, he would walk these statements back in 24 hours, now he is PM, they’ve sent him to an expensive CEO weekend retreat on learning to be dominant to butch him up because Seymour, Winston and the Corporate Interests are having a field day playing him like chump.
That’s why we’ve seen him stick to robotic CEO KPI language and when challenged, simply repeating the same talking points but louder and with a stern look on his face.
The excitement he shows at publishing his Spotify playlist should make us all cringe.
Luxon manages to screw it up every single holiday because his values of promoting his wealth in praise of Jesus leaves him looking as hollow and shallow as Brian Tamaki grifting for a new gold watch.
This is the leader we elected, this is what post Covid bitterness has mutated us into, this charmless rich god freak who sees his well being as heaven ordained.
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.
“wifi password to heaven” lol
Luxon is a law unto himself. [My money is on him being in Hawaii or on another overseas’, jaunt and if so he’s a liar too!] He doesn’t give a hoot about NZ or New Zealanders. He is another arrogant “all about me” person and will never change. He is the epitomy of a TOP FEEDER, getting all he can, while he can, with not a care for those genuinely hurting. He is no better than the other con-men out there like Tamaki and Trump. However the world has gone too far this time and must change for the masses to survive. If it doesn’t,it will be the undoing of all the despotic, vain, arrogant narcissists. Luxon is ON HIS WAY OUT the door! It is astounding to think anyone out there can even consider voting for him and shows a severe lack of common decency and judgement.
Yip….Luxon is a ‘c’ minus grader god- bothering anti abortionist, with an inexplicable ‘a’ grade ego, whose ‘d’ grade street smarts, chose an ‘e’ grade cabinet, that took a well performing economy, with a low unemployment rate, and driven, by ‘f’ grade economic illiterates, straight off a cliff, thus creating an ‘f’ minus grade economy.
Whether Luxon is rolled or not…it’s all too late…the damage is done.
It’s a hopeless case of the blind leading the blind …without a white walking stick in sight.
If N.Z. has any hope of salvaging this terrible clusterfuck of a situation the whole lot need to be gone….for good…the ‘ a’ grade adults need to be back in power this year… otherwise we are screwed.
Please tell me who these A grade people are .All I see in the Opposition Ranks are the wankers that got thrown out in the last election and no policies to go forward.The Coalition have done the hard yards and got is going in the right direction they deserve any 3 years at least.
‘Please tell me who these A grade people are:’
Tom, Dick, Harry, Andy, Bob, Dave Annie, Belinda, Debbie, Jane, John, Gus, Gail, Wayne, Frank, Gisella, Naomi, Harriet, Irene, Ian, Lenoard, Chris Smith, Wang.
These are just my neighbours – I invite TDB readers to include others.
I could pick random people off the street and any of them would be finer citizens than you or that self serving bunch of tossers.
Yes …it’s just sooooo hard to drive an economy straight off a cliff…
The party of supposedly “no policies going forward” had us returning to surplus by mid to late 2027 according to Treasury
and new ferries , to keep our state highway 1 open, reliable, and safe , arriving as we speak…
F grade National and the Coalition of hopelessness now, with their brilliance, have us , possibly , back to surplus by 2031 and inferior ferries not arriving till 2029…
Oh…but that’s only the tip of the iceberg..
It’s easy for them to be dunces when ignorance is bliss!
On planet Trevori there is blue everywhere, corruption is rife and pedophiles reside there. Thats how warped Trevor’s life is.
No problems he has ticked the box and that is it and he just wanted to be able to say he was the prime minister of NZ.
100%
Anyone who votes for Luxon is as thick as he is. Remember a vote for Luxon is a vote for ACT and NZ first and another 3 years of right wing dominance and even mor capitulation from Luxon to keep him in his state of political arousal called power
Thanks for being authentic
Our Prime Minister is an honest person a man of honour.
Aha so you are an Aussie bot
If that’s honorable, I’d hate to see dishonorable.
If you think he gives a damn about you, you are not getting it Btf.
He has always spoken of NZders with contempt and disdain, and he feels exactly the same about you, as he does about me and the rest of us. You are not in his league, I’m afraid. You are dreaming.
Compared to many, I may be ‘sorted’ myself. I assume you are too. That doesn’t make any diff to Luxon. He is still a greedy little hypocrite with no real world skills apart from sucking up to psychopaths.
He does that because he’s a hollow man with no moral or intellectual heft at all. He has no original thoughts, a useful idiot for foreign elites. Are you a foreign elite? If not, he doesn’t want to know you. Your support for him is wasted and unappreciated.
That’s a bit mean Joy.
Not mean, just true. Isn’t it? We are here to be realistic not dreaming in La-La-Luxon-Land.
Ah, the long-licking tongue of BTF!
He was hard at work figuring out his next list of entitlements .Then working out his rates cuts on his other properties and tax cuts for the top 10% .Next was planning his move to USA after the next election .He is so deluded he probably thinks he can run for president .
Luxon is a deviant has been caught lying on multiple occasions and thankfully will be gone after this year’s election. He has never once been a prime mister. This has been evidenced by his insular comment ‘I’m wealthy and I’m sorted’. Most of the country will celebrate his demise this election.
” They all misread Luxon! ”
Probably but knew deep down he was going to reveal his true self.
And had the opportunity to remove him but didn’t. Luxon represents the view of National MP’s and their constituencies. His entitlement is also theirs.
Despite how bad he and life is for many they will vote to reelect him in November.
Yes he will win in a landslide.
Remember he thinks NZ is CLOSED till February so his single cell brain is waiting for the alarm to go off on the 1 st .
He will be replaced before the election and National will rightfully lose in a landslide.
Yep, he’s crap, but remember, the job of the New Labour movement is to make the right look good. How long did it take them to come up with a decent CGT policy (instead of a deliberately stupid policy designed to be so unpopular that it was bound to fail – who taxes property over 5 acres in a country with a huge rural population?)
Labour don’t care about workers.
National don’t care about the nation.
Greens have prioritised identity politics ahead of the environment.
NZ First put foreign companies before New Zealand.
Act are just that.
Seems to me the rich and powerful have things running just how they want it.
