A good read and a little inciteful into the inner workings of the man.

I have to admit that when I read “Yes, he’s white, male, rich, bald and Christian. He’s even middle aged. But despite those sins ..” I almost called it quits. So suggesting that being white, male, rich, bald and Christian are sins gives an indication of where this woke interviewer’s mind is positioned.

The whole article was interesting and I think it gives the reader an indication of where Mr Luxon might take the country.

I suspect my voting preference won’t change after reading the article but I wish him well.

  Being bald is a sin? A tongue-in-cheek catalog of some non-charismatic features which probably won’t attract wokesters is the point here, rather than denunciation.

    I agree David which is why articles like this are interesting. Espiner would have loved to do a hatchet job but struggled to find the grounds for doing so. Much as many on here, myself included, would prefer a much more strident stance on many issues priority number one has to be winning next year and that means taking votes off Labour. He’s well and truly on track to do that.

  the constant labelling these journo’s/critics do of stale, white pale male is deeply concerning and controlling the narrative and setting the tone.
  Also reinforces the stereotype. So boring this article which is reflective of Espiner’s style – boring.

I dunno.. If the intro paragraph reflects Espiner’s real thoughts and paradigms it’s hard to take him seriously. “He’s white, male, bald, rich and Christian, BUT he’s also championed gender pay equity and the rainbow community, worked to halt human trafficking and environmentalists rate his climate change credentials.” Like they are typically exclusive.
Most, white, male, bald, rich and Christian guys I know are pretty supportive of pay equity (equal work, equal pay), support, or at least don’t have a problem with most of the gay stuff and want to look after the environment.
A couple of paragraphs in calls, white, male, rich, bald, Christian, middle aged, sins. I thought I was doing ok with the old ones… greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. But will have to have another go at it I guess.

    Luxon is bringing a knife to a gun fight. If Luxon and his insipid National colleagues are all we have, then it’s time to look for something else. More of the same is not good enough anymore.

      Exactly, voting for something that’s 5% better than Labour is voting for 95% of the same agenda, and stifles any chance for something better.
      
      In the US and Australia (partially), conservatives are regaining control of their party; in Europe several of the old establishment centre right parties are dead. I’m not settling for voting for people who hate me and my beliefs any more.

Luxon presented himself in a highly defensive manner, resembling agitation. “They don’t know me” “I don’t discriminate” Clearly on the latter, he doesn’t believe it himself. He unquestioningly judged hundreds of thousands of Kiwis based upon their personal vaccination status. And many others on their courage to stand for the NZ Bill of Rights. And label them with divisive, petty, disparaging names. I entreat the National Party to do the right thing here, to act in principal for NZ, and remove Chris Luxon and his deputy. The issues I’ve highlighted don’t bode well for our country, we need opposition who will oppose. Isn’t afraid of the hard stuff, and is prepared to represent us as a whole.

      We need a hardcore Christian nationalist to right the ship, not a wet noodle Christian hobbyist Luxon. I think that the worse secular society proves itself to be, the more fertile the ground becomes for a reactionary rolling-back of liberal dogmas. The Crusaders, for instance, or the Teutonic knights of the Holy Roman Empire were hardcore Christians and real tough men, and they did alright.

        The Crusaders failed, and fatally weakened Constantinople to boot. The Teutonic Knights mostly only fought Christian Russians.
        You know who did succeed? The Roman martyrs. Polycarp. Paul. Justin.
        And non martyrs who faithfully worked with their hands and lips to propagate the Gospel. Wesley, Spurgeon.
        And Jesus himself.
        
        You’re absolutely right that these fake, wet, wimpy Christians don’t glorify God, but you don’t understand what actually does, or why Christianity was such a success.
        
        You hate what the world has become which is great; you’re so close, all you need to do is repent and believe in Jesus.

    Casually disregarding the legislated personal rights of all New Zealanders, is hardly a trivial matter. I’m curious to know, which of our rights Chris Luxon actually supports. All of them, or just ‘some’ of them? One day you, or someone close to you, might need those rights. Under a Luxon led Govt, you’ll have a PM who has clearly demonstrated an unwillingness to respect your rights. As I’ve said, the prospect doesn’t bode well for NZ.

    Funny you assume I support Labour. I’ve voted National for thirty years. But I won’t be under the present leadership. The other parties in Parliament are no better. Changing of their respective leaders, who presided over the ongoing violations of our rights, will give these parties a fresh start. There is a huge bloc of stray votes out there, that need a home. Luxon won’t be getting any of them.

      I agree fully. The once meaningful political divide between the parties is now only apparent. Nobody will get my vote unless they do something substantial to earn it. Luxon and others lost my allegiance with their weak acquiescence to unjustified Covid policy and the accompanying arrogant dismissal of dissenters such as myself. Screw them, I owe them nothing whatsoever.

Everything is framed through the journalists identity lens but only for some.

I’ve never saw Ardern or Robertson labelled in a headline by their skin colour and their physical flaws, or their bank account.

I couldn’t give a rats about his hair or lack of it or Jacinda’s looks. But I do think his attitude during the mandates was appalling. He failed to stand up for people’s civil rights and their right to bodily autonomy. And climate change….sigh.

I came away from reading this like I had just had an encounter with a wet dish rag. This guy seems to want to have a bob each way. Imagine having to put up with him at a dinner party.
At least he’ll have the intention of wishing to do no harm but don’t expect any reform by rolling back the welfare state from this guy. PM will be another tick on the CV.
I’ll still be voting Act and hopefully if in tandem with National it will be able to bring some change.

Where is Luxon on the burning issue of the day – equal franchise and co-governance? This is a glaring gap in the interview. Does he support the modern interpretation of The Treaty as a partnership or does he believe that the Treaty established a democracy of one people, equal before the law, with equal rights?

Maybe he agreed not to go there in an interview with the state broadcaster. If so, that’s a worrying harbinger for the future.

I worked for Unilever myself for over 25 years, including where Luxon started his own career. He was a genuine person not up himself & interested in how the whole business worked together, not just Marketing (in recent decades the business became much more silo’d).

While Espiner sneers at deodorants: it should be remembered that Unilever is a Euro 50Bpa business with 400 brands in nearly 200 countries serving 3B consumers daily (over half in emerging markets) with 150k people (a third of the NZ public service. A company where failure wasn’t an option.

For 5 years we’ve lived in the Jacinda personality framework where faux kindness and shallow slogans are meant to be worthy substitutes for competence and hard work.

I have no desire to “like” our Prime Ministers or know about their religion or sex life… just as I don’t have any great desire to enquire deeply into the inner workings of my Dentist’s/ rubbish collector’s/ car mechanic’s life.

I just want them to be competent and carry out the job I’m paying them to do to the best of their ability.

  Those are not the words of a leader. A real leader delineates himself from others (necessarily excluding people and ideas) and then convinces people to follow him. Luxon seems to just want to follow what others want. If he is just going to follow someone else, then that someone may as well be in his position. His indistinctness makes him redundant.
  
  Why have tolerance and compassion for people who hate you, based on your faith? Madness. Jesus brought a sword to the world, after all. If he is not willing to discriminate and reject people and their ideas, then this shows that he has no principles. If anyone can be X and X is a fluid concept, then X is a meaningless designation.

    That’s not Christianity. Jesus’ sword is a metaphor for division, not violence. In that same passage, he describes conflicts between family members, describes the one sided persecution of Christians by the wicked, and then commands his followers to take up his cross and follow him, followed by telling his disciples that whoever saves his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will find it. The preceding passages in the same discourse are directly on the topic of persecution.
    
    See Matt 10; you read Dostoevsky, I’m sure you can correctly interpret a straightforward Bible passage in its local context.
    
    You are rightly reacting to compromised liberal Christianity, but what you’re replacing it with is equally unmoored from the Bible and the teachings and example of Jesus, who will return and judge the living and the dead, and execute perfect justice. Even as a secularist, you must appreciate that wilfully denying a clear, repeated Bible teaching is a denial of the truth of the Bible and fatal to any claim of internal consistency.
    
    Christians need to be utterly uncompromising on breaching God’s law (unlike that cowardly woke capitalist Luxon), but in all other regards are clearly mandated to return good for evil and die to self. When we compromise in either direction, the church dies.

Until a manifesto appears with firm promises to keep those values it is just all words.
Then the integrity or otherwise of the leader and his party becomes crystal clear ,sadly, usually only after election.
Won’t give many examples but both Bolger and Lange are proof of the above!
Mr Luxon does not have a political record yet so we have to wait,first for the manifesto and second for actions
Where is the “binding “ manifesto “?

Sounds like a soulless establishment type to me. I’d rather vote for a piece of cardboard

    Never. She’s far more dangerous than a piece of cardboard.

So here is the problem with Luxon: far too Woke.

Last week the Maori Party presented some petition to parliament to change the name of the country to Aotearoa.
When media asked Luxon for comment, instead of using it as an opportunity to lay siege to the government for their lack of action on all manner of things, he began discussing the premise/merits or otherwise of a referendum on the subject.

Isn’t this basic politics 101? When given an opportunity to hammer a completely incompetent and out-of-touch govt. you should take it.
Nobody cares about a distraction of a name change when the country is circling the drain.
