Did Luxon foresee the uproar the coalition documents' commitments regarding the Treaty would provoke?

If not, he is even more of an #nzpol doofus than I thought. If so, he looks mightily unprepared considering. Today was the tip of a very large iceberg.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says Māori protests against government 'pretty unfair'.

Let me fix that: wet, whiny, inward looking man playing at being PM cries like a spoiled baby because the people he's mean to are standing up for themselves.

Join your Union because they're coming for your wages, they're coming for your raises, they're coming for your breaks, they're coming for your sick leave, they're coming for your holidays and they're going to make it easy for you to be sacked. Unions fight, for solidarity! We are one from many.

Reminder that Chris Luxon tried to trademark "Kia Ora" when he was CEO of AirNZ.

Luxon wants us to cut him some slack? Seriously? Listen buddy - it is the morally bound duty of every reasonable citizen to make sure your govt of shitweasels, christo-fascists and cookers is flushed down the toilet at the earliest opportunity. Fuck this “too early to protest” nonsense!

Would you not expect protests in Wales if you replaced the bilingual Welsh & English road signs with English only?

Would you not expect protests in Northern Ireland if you replaced the bilingual Gaelic & English road signs with English only?

Why expect any different in Aotearoa New Zealand?

A conspiracy theorist, a fundamentalist Christian and a libertarian fascist walk in to parliament. This isn’t a joke, it’s New Zealand’s new government.
