I wrote about this: HERE
I acknowledge that Luxon is a smart bugger and has been successful in business. Like Donald Trump though he has very little or no political experience and has very entrenched right-wing values. Why should he be given a free ride, bypassing the usual checks and balances that our politicians normally go through - an apprenticeship in fact. Helen Clark, Jacinda Ardern, David Lange, Rob Muldoon, Keith Holyoake etc to name a successful few came to the position after doing the hard yards.
Luxon didn't waste time after his nomination in attacking the underprivileged and needy in this country with a brutal assault on beneficiaries which is an omen of things to come. He revealed his Christian beliefs and associated entrenched attitudes to gay rights, abortion, euthanasia although he threw a veil over these by saying, in a mealy-mouthed way that he would 'listen' to his constituency.
We have been warned and so has that other mealy-mouthed National idiot Simon Bridges. I hope he's ready for when he'll be rolled.
