Christopher Luxon’s interview with Mike Hosking on Tuesday the 25th of February has generated a lot of public attention, mainly as Luxon yet again avoided answering yes or no questions. Hosking initially asked Luxon about the government’s work in supporting the police to make progress on disrupting gang activity. However, the bulk of the interview was made up of a discussion around the resignation of National Party Minister Andrew Bayley, following a second incident where he displayed inappropriate conduct. Hosking repeatedly questioned the Prime Minister on whether he would have sacked Bayley, and Luxon, consistently referring to the fact Bayley had made the decision to resign himself, avoided acknowledging that he would have fired him if he hadn’t resign. This has got old Luxie in a lot of hot water, as the public voices their frustration at having a leader who avoids giving clear answers. Luxon has since commented on the interview saying, “maybe I could have got to a ‘yes’ much quicker”.
