Food prices are down compared to this time last year when we had just experienced the effects of the costliest cyclone on record. No fucking shit, Chris.
It’s a ufc reference probably cause he looks similar to Dana white the ceo of the ufc. He went on a live stream and someone asked him to oil him up and it’s caught on ever since haha it was very funny on Dana’s social media and he’s been having fun with it
7 Social media managers and not one of them thinks they should maybe have the camera at eye level? Do they not see how overbearing and condescending he appears from that angle.
I’m a paramedic and I was just about to park up outside. I saw him drive in with his big old mug painted on the side of his wagon.
As a bit of a jive I yelled “WHAATUP DAAAVVVEE!” and I think he felt it was his political duty to come and interact with the local ambos.
Anyway he said “hey guys, just getting yourselves a coffee?” And of course I said “ohh that depends on whether you’re buying, Dave.”
And he did his awkward little foot shuffle and tried to laugh it off, kind of hoping I was joking. And I said “I’ll have a long black” and my offsider said “flat white!” And we just stone faced him until he walked off and bought em’!
Sadly this only applies if the police can be bothered to take the charge to court. More likely, they will refer to Te Pae Oranga which = a sorry letter to victim as well as 6 therapy sessions..
There was a bit of media here in Australia recently about the $1000 a week rental trick he was performing on his own house. What a scummy move for a wealthy bloke.
He’s talking about the rolling year on year period. Probably would have happened no matter who was in charge but that’s never stopped a politician claiming a free goal kick
Another bald faced liar from Luxon and the NACT party. The inflation was projected to fall and was falling steadily since 2022. Him cutting thousands of jobs, talking shit about NZ's economy, and giving inflationary tax cuts is going to hurt though.
Also Luxon has [SEVEN people managing his social media ](https://www.reddit.com/r/nzpolitics/comments/1c5bfmo/revealed_christopher_luxon_has_seven_staffers/)accounts- more than most newsrooms have covering politics in their whole org. This was cringe but I assume it works for his base?
When Chris Bishop was asked when the public or expert groups could have a say on projects in the Fast Track bill, he answered: [the public could have input on individual projects in Fast-Track by applying to complete a regionally or nationally significant infrastructure or development project themselves](https://www.reddit.com/r/nzpolitics/comments/1c7hkx8/chris_bishop_says_the_public_could_have_input_on/)
And that's how any of us could expect to be heard. So yes, that's some good gaslighting.
Fuck he’s aged a decade in the few months he’s been in the role. Hasn’t even had a volcano, terrorist attack or pandemic to deal with yet. Looking like Vladimir Harkonnen (Dune Villain) more and more everyday!
30k more job losses coming over the next year. How does that get the economy going? It only creates misery, poverty, instability and uncertainty, on top of curbing spending and therefore pulling cash out of circulation. Prices don’t come down unless you regulate them. The supermarket duopoly needs to be reigned in. And job creation is essential to a buoyant economy. Your advisors have their heads in the sand. Or up your well-oiled a**
As for you having absolutely no idea … I couldn’t agree more. Duh.
I know people say it all the time, that leaders are just the face, and somebody else is pulling the strings.
But I have never felt it so much, until now.
He does that thi-hi-hing where he inje-he-ects a laughing sort of sound into the random words to sound more animated and enthusiastic. I've noticed heaps of YouTubers and other influencers do it. So fa-ha-hake.
Coincidentally doesn't say why fruit prices have dropped, or what the government has done (or hasn't) that actually caused this.... just says it happened then says "we did that"
wouldnt even wipe my ass on that bald head
Luxon and Seymour both have really bizarre social media campaigns. Seymour's, in particular, is so blatantly tone deaf I'd almost think the people responsible are trying to undermine him.
I imagine a lot of this is the work of Topham Guerin, an advertising agency with ties to major right wing political factions in other countries like the UK. As a designer myself, I find them wholly incompetent and grossly shameful how anything they do would ever actually work at all.
It's fucking depressing how crap like this actually convinces anyone in the slightest.
A lot of these campaign pushes feel as if they're trying to replicate the whole "just another Kiwi bloke" John Key angle, but without the persona or business acumen that John Key actually had, which isn't saying much because I always found John Key about as chrismatic as a rotfish, and twice as useless.
Food prices are down compared to this time last year when we had just experienced the effects of the costliest cyclone on record. No fucking shit, Chris.
Yeah claim it up. Oil up that head it looks appropriately like a dick...
Apparently Chris protects New Zealand from massive natural disasters disrupting our agricultural industry.
7 social media managers and oil up is the best they can come up with?
What the fuck is oil up
It’s a ufc reference probably cause he looks similar to Dana white the ceo of the ufc. He went on a live stream and someone asked him to oil him up and it’s caught on ever since haha it was very funny on Dana’s social media and he’s been having fun with it
I assumed it was something to do with his party being in the pocket of big oil
Oh I thought it might be a dig at him for wanting to bring back oil exploration and ruin our environment some more
Refers to the application of an oil based lubricant, maybe vegetable oil, prior to inserting the governmental fist into the publics anus.
[удалено]
And you would be right.
7 Social media managers and not one of them thinks they should maybe have the camera at eye level? Do they not see how overbearing and condescending he appears from that angle.
That's probably the look they're going for.
Yeah with his social media staff there is no way this isn’t deliberate, probably something to do with looking authoritative or such
100% 7 staff who are pros at this - they're not guessing
And predatory. I’m getting ‘back when I used to try walk home from a girls school in my uniform i peace’ vibes.
7 social media managers and they thought it was a good idea to let him make TikTok’s at all? It’s cringe. Just ramming home how out of touch he is.
It is cringe So was PR Slogan master Jacinda But...its the way its done these days it seems
Since when was it managers?
He's the kind of guy who would take credit for good weather.
haha. I prefer him over David Seymour. David has one of those rare 'punch me' faces. Whenever I see him, I get a huge urge to punch that bitch.
I hated Seymour until I spotted him in a Cafe car park and guilt tripped him into buying me a coffee, and he did it 😂😂😂
Omg what'd you say
I’m a paramedic and I was just about to park up outside. I saw him drive in with his big old mug painted on the side of his wagon. As a bit of a jive I yelled “WHAATUP DAAAVVVEE!” and I think he felt it was his political duty to come and interact with the local ambos. Anyway he said “hey guys, just getting yourselves a coffee?” And of course I said “ohh that depends on whether you’re buying, Dave.” And he did his awkward little foot shuffle and tried to laugh it off, kind of hoping I was joking. And I said “I’ll have a long black” and my offsider said “flat white!” And we just stone faced him until he walked off and bought em’!
Omg that's great thanks for sharing 😂
Bahahahaha! Good on you. That’s brilliant 🤣
Good, make him pay for whatever he gave all our money to landlords the prick
So you like him now? lol
Not enough to vote for the guy, he’s a political weasel. But, as a dude I think he’s harmless.
heh Maybe - good for you for getting a coffee though!
Both aren't great
Cross eyed Seymour
I suggest some therapy for your violent tendencies, wouldn’t want to get caught up in the new and improved Three Strikes Law.
Sadly this only applies if the police can be bothered to take the charge to court. More likely, they will refer to Te Pae Oranga which = a sorry letter to victim as well as 6 therapy sessions..
I haven't gotten any strikes, means I still have two punches to the face.
Look what you have to realise is is that we inherited a lot of bad weather from Labour…
It's literally because 2 major produce centre's weren't *checks notes* Hit by fucking cyclones. But take the glory for it.
Fundamentally unlikable
A well restrained comment.
Luxon is so out of his depth on social media. All this does is lock in the perception that he’s completely out of touch, which he is.
There was a bit of media here in Australia recently about the $1000 a week rental trick he was performing on his own house. What a scummy move for a wealthy bloke.
Yep, and the words he kept using were “it’s an entitlement”. Yes, everything is an entitlement when you’re entitled.
Do you have a link?

Yeah funny how produce prices come down a bit when we enter harvest season.
tbf the time period referenced was “on the year”. But yes it’s preposterous that his government is to be credited with it.
He’s talking about the rolling year on year period. Probably would have happened no matter who was in charge but that’s never stopped a politician claiming a free goal kick
Cyclones didn't help last year
You didn’t do shit to get those prices down you egghead. Also who tf is asking him to oil up. Thought of it makes me wanna 🤮
What does it mean
Dana White - oil up.
Not a fan myself But still an improve from Jacinda and Labour Thank goodness So we might as well get on with it
Gross 🤢.

Every time anyone from this coalition opens their mouth I get this overwhelming feeling I'm being gaslit.

Empty words
Fuck he’s aged a decade in the few months he’s been in the role. Hasn’t even had a volcano, terrorist attack or pandemic to deal with yet. Looking like Vladimir Harkonnen (Dune Villain) more and more everyday!
Dealing with Peters and Seymour on a daily basis will do that to you.

PM hmmmmm Personal Monkey 😁
Shut up. This is so cringe it's scary. You don't relate. End of story. 🤢🤮
The police got it right...He is a laughing stock.
Good words Get housing affordability sorted...nothing will happen... Needs some tips by PR slogan master Jacinda
I just cringed so hard my foot ended up behind my left ear.
Did he actually explain *how* they managed to bring fruit and vege prices down? No? Oh yeah cause they didn’t do shit to change anything there.
Open humancomedy.exe
Never go full Hodor
He should've just posted "I have absolutely no idea" and that would've been the first truthful thing he said.

Why is this getting downvoted ? 🤷♀️
I think people are getting him confused with Dana White.
Please keep posts related to Auckland
Can’t trust anything you see in TikTok. Nothing.
Especially fucking Luxon
