Mate, multiple media articles (both left and right) critical of him.

Honestly he’s hopeless at the media side of things. Chippy’s a pro and will make him look ordinary come election.

Luxon quits Breakfast slot: smart tactic or ‘running for the hills’?

The PM will no longer do his weekly TVNZ interview. Is he, too, a ‘lightweight’?

Had a herald one as well but it’s premium so deleted

So the the left leaning media that are fucktards as well?

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

100. There's a concerted campaign under way against TVNZ.

Not to mention the right and far right takeover of NZME.

There’s more going on at TVNZ (usual suspect) then has been made public yet

I'm not sure if you trolling or you skim read.

I said "The right lambasts Jacinda when she won't go on Hoskings but crickets when Luxon won't go on TVNZ."

The right. The right. The right...

Then you point to me left leaning articles and not right leaning articles that lambast Luxon.

Do the left lambast Jacinda?

Nope…

The left media now complaining after being silent in the past are just as hypocritical!

All a game really, each side backs their horse.

Because the left doesn't start it.

Find me articles that lambast John key first.

Your arguments are weak. Still complaining about jacinda after almost 3 years of this coalition that's made us weaker and poorer. Following American politics.

I see you can't back your political side nor criticize them. You can only attack the other side.

Very interesting watching q and a this morning and Wayne Brown obviously not on great terms with Luxon and openly talking about a change in government. Winston and Luxon don’t seem on great terms currently either. Q and an also critical of declined invitations, he seems extremely unpopular currently. I’ve thought this for some time but I think he will cost national this election

Hope so!!!

As the right must necessarily cannibalise itself this election given the far right economic policies of National, the far right party that is ACT, and the batshit crazy cooker MAGA imitation party that is NZ First (and let's just pause here to take those three in - and a reminder to those on here who call the left crazy and whacky eh? Right.) we will see more and more of this type of outright racist policy.

No doubt the treaty will come under attack again too.

I expect this from ACT.

Unpopular currently? More like forever! I will never begin to understand what Key ever saw in him.

If someone takes your property as an individual it is theft. Yet when the government can take our personal money as taxes this is seen a money tree by the left to spend with little care in the world!

I can see why the lefts attitude evolved into Gol shoplifting - straight up communist ‘what’s yours is mine’ mindset

He probably didnt actually know him that well. Just the CEO credentials swayed it all. And both being wealthy and sorted.

He’s been the worst PM of my life time at reading the mood of the nation. He’s actually terrible at it but responds defensively when called out on it. I think that sways the public opinion quickly.
The schtick of saying he runs the country like a CEO wore thin very quickly.

Bit bored on your Sunday trying to bait? Relish a Warriors win mate, never mind this carry on.

Yeah Labour don't know how to spend money. Maybe your wife should refuse the subsidies.

In New Zealand, large-scale government subsidisation of early childhood education (ECE), including childcare centres, wasn’t a single one-off decision—it developed over time—but a key turning point came under the Helen Clark–led Fifth Labour Government of New Zealand.

What they did​

• In 2002, that government introduced the “Pathways to the Future: Ngā Huarahi Arataki” strategic plan for ECE.
• This led to major increases in funding and subsidies for childcare centres.
• In 2007, they introduced “20 Hours Free ECE” for 3- and 4-year-olds, which significantly expanded subsidies to families using childcare centres.
