One cool thing about being Christopher Luxon, is that if his house suddenly became an underwater eel cave following a climate catastrophe, he still has 4+ other homes to choose from, and they’re all insured. Wealthy & sorted, better living New Zealand. 😎🙄 #WealthyandSorted #nzpol #OneTermGovernment
