‘Spend more, tax more’ and ‘deliver worse outcomes’: NZ PM on previous Labour government
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 май 2024
- New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says it was a skill of the previous Labour government to “spend more, hire more, borrow more, tax more” and “deliver worse outcomes” across the country.
Mr Luxon won the 2023 New Zealand election, forming a coalition with David Seymour’s ACT Party and Winston Peter’s NZ First.
“The reality is, I think, outcomes went backwards,” Mr Luxon told Sky News host Erin Molan.
“Despite an 84 per cent increase in government spending, 18,000 more public servants hired in our capital in Wellington, despite people being taxed more, borrowing went from $5 billion to $100 billion.
“It’s quite a skillset, to be honest, to be able to spend more, hire more, borrow more, tax more and deliver worse outcomes across the economy, across health, across education, across crime.”
Ardern will go down in history as the worst Prime Minister in New Zealand. Listing her mistakes is like drawing a circle.
You’re just a sucker of the smear campaign against her
He needs to sort out nz media asap. Still haven’t seen name changes sorted out.
what name changes?
Moari names on Government departments make it difficult for 90% of people.
You didn't actually think or believe that it would change!!!!!@
Notice other corporate media on YT have comments on yet NZ corporate media has comments off. This speaks volume.
Ardern has been the worst PM in my lifetime. She left NZ in absolute chaos. Right behind Luxon.
And the coward knew it, so ran away from her responsibilities.
Not true.
@@jasperhorace7147 Like National's John Key did in 2016?
Please share the specifics.
Rubbish
The last NZ government had to be the worst ever in my 38 years of being a voter - and I was a die-hard Labour/Greens supporter. Not anymore. The economic and social damage they did to the country has been massive. It's left a complicated political mess with inflamed racial tensions and rampant crime with gangs more powerful than ever. You can't just conveniently blame covid like they did - it was mind-boggling mismanagement at executive level with Ardern largely responsible who then arrogantly quit when the writing was on the wall. Luxon and co. have got a huge job on their hands to rebuild confidence in NZ and stabilise society. Best of luck to them.
What a load of bullshit!
Because of the good decisions from Jacinda both my parents survived covid!
Luxon is just tax tax tax and just shits on the working class nz
They will turn NZ round...be patient!
@patriciagraham222 already left NZ and got my son out of there - I hope to return to a more stable and unified home country sometime in the future
Nonsense , NZ did a lot better than most western countries during Arderns reign, very easy to check !
She left due to a hate campaign / death threats encouraged by this creepy Murdoch / Black Rock site ! : (
@@patriciagraham222 Joke ? ?
‘Spend more, tax more’ and ‘deliver worse outcomes’ = The Albanese Government in a sentence.
Ardern and Albanese were singing from the same hymn sheet
At least Luxon has actually held a job in his life time. Airbus Elbo has no clue, and doesn't care.
It will take NZ an awfully long time to fix the mess that she left behind
Like Victoria.
Certainly she was a horrible leader but I blame the people who were keep voting for her.
@@Barney_Rubble247and the way they are going the rest of the country.
@@Barney_Rubble247 Albanese is the worst.
@@Barney_Rubble247the way they are going the rest of the country.
We in Nz cannot afford another left wing government-ever. We need mature clearminded, practical people, not useless young activists like Ardern, greens, and maori party. These would economically and socially wreck our once prosperous nation.
They already have
You dont have that under leaderless Luxon and Seymour and Winston.

Thanks for being neutral. All NZ media tilt against luxon and it's easy to see.
neutral ? joke LOL : )
@@DANCEGARAGEPUNK haha closer to neutral
@@businessantony2404 No ! ! : )
So they should tilt against Luxon as he’s destroying the country just like he bankrupted Arizona NZ twice
Public debt. He misquoted the figure. 2009 to 2017 large increase in public debt 50 billion ( used for earthquake and income tax cuts) 2017 to 2023 used to fund wage subsidies during covid19 ( save small business and others , increase spend on road maintenance compared to 2009 to 2017 . Increased education building spending to name a few. Look at hansard) .
Meanwhile Luxon‘s coalition of chaos makes it worse for everyone.
Lies upon lies - wait till his three years are up to see how bad this corporate sell out really is.
It's actually going really well, they've been doing all the things they promised.
Super happy considering the absolute disaster the pathetic last 6 year of failure from Labour.
@@guyl9208 No they haven’t - crime is still going up - six months ago they said it would stop.
They haven’t put one more cop on the beat since they took office - they haven’t fixed one pothole in that time.
Highest unemployment, highest job insecurity, highest interest rates, highest food prices, fuel prices going up, rents going up, rates going up, water going up, power going up…
Will they blame the others for the full three year term?
I bet they will.
The only ones better off are the landlords and the big corporations.
Not sure what's good about it seeing that they've not done anything yet...
Holy crap! This guy has been in business and is now PM!!!
Huh????
Aren't the best PM's those who grew up in social housing, and then spent a lifetime in the union movement and politics?
That’s probably why we’re in the shit we’re in.💩
He was CEO at Air New Zealand he cut services around the country, he is a slash and burn man no idea on how to grow a business or an economy, he is a weak OM and Winston Peters is running rings round him.
He wont last and the polls are already going against him.
I hope that one day some of us kiwis can move home. Lot's of us are stranded overseas working in countries we dont like because wages are so bad and the cost of living is so high in NZ.
Probably be no jobs left here mate. They are slashing jobs left right and centre and blatantly stand and say it's to pay for the tax cuts they promised the high end earners. And that's not all they're cutting. This country will be left in ruin if they continue in power. It's simple math, jobs pay tax, the tax keeps the govt in funds to run the country. No jobs no money to run the country. Who will be working to pay the tax to cover their expensive tax policies, only the rich will be left to pay their own tax cuts. The poor will be homeless.
They are also giving themselves a 10% pay rise. Everyone is falling for his fast talk. Ask for details and you'll get a route response. Luxon is just a voice piece. The real devil in this 3 way set up is Seymour. Winston has lost the plot. Sorry, don't plan on this lot to make a good place to come home to, unless you have alot of money. There are alot of upset people here presently, and there will be conflict to come.
@elahhale9057 what another load of bollocks . We have been put in a mess by a liberal self righteous government that followed the wealthiest corrupt corporate manipulators this world has ever seen , and you're complaining about the present govnt ! Wake up !
@@elahhale9057
What bollocks!
Thanks for actually listening to our PM and doing a good concise brief interview. Nothing rude or sensational like the so called interviewers here in NZ ❤ Keep it up Luxon, we’re all rooting for you, Winny and David. Long road ahead of us 😅 G’day to our Aussie neighbours too. 🇳🇿🌿🇦🇺
Well said & from Australia I followed closely the Adern govt and its stunning how fast a socialist wokey apologist govt can take a country to its knees. We are in the same boat here in Australia and we’d Take Chris’s approach and sensible governing right now /
Totally agree... one of the worst things Ardern did was buy out the MSM and ensure they were staffed with fellow communist and extreme opinionated activists who have pushed Labour's ideology for 6+ years now and took her payouts ... Now because an overhaul of the media is threatened they are doing everything they can to discredit the new hard working Government... a new Government which has already implemented some great changes and working on more changes. The NZ public holds the media in very low regards and do not support them... hence TV3 news has gone and we are working on seeing the same happens to the state funded TV1.
Well you have no idea the damage this 3 headed monster are causing, nothing they promised to make things better has been started, all they have done is spend more on giving money out the landlords, the Tax cuts are unafordable so they are cutting back services to try and find money so they will have to borrow.
A good prime minister and we all need to be doing more rooting to get us through winter.❤😂🇳🇿
@@JamesBarry-um8su Low cost/ free form of entertainment we don’t have to budget for 😂
Glad to have him in charge. Fixing the problems will take time. I hope my fellow NZers understand that too...
Luxon is not in charge, he has John key holding his hand and its Winston and Seymour that is calling that shots.
@@louiethered479 Newshub would be highly interested in your story.
@@louiethered479do you have proof? We wanna see facts! Anyway, Arden was more popular and that's all. And for that, she just borrowed more and more money n put nz in debt n she did it with a smile, and now I'm paying for it. So, My children n grandchildren inherited the Ardens Holes
I fully understand mate. the problems the previous government left behind are big, they will indeed take time to fix up. glad I voted for him and had the honor of meeting him a few weeks ago.
The great sellout has already begun.soon nz will be owned by maori and foreign investers
I wouldn't call National conservative.
More like disatrious.
Bill English was borrowing 87 million a week for years under John keys national goverment. People have short memories and are naturally biased when it comes to blaming the other side. NZ needs to live within its means and restrict immigration, follow Norways model with regard to oil and introduce capital gains tax.
Great interview, good to see Luxon smiling and proud of our great country!!
Was great until he started destroying it
20,000 people out of work & $3 billion handout to landlords ? ?
It`s a con LOL : )
Labour gov. Always put countrys in massive debt
Not true. Under Labour, NZ had one of the lowest debts in the OCED, despite the global pandemic. Willis and Luxon have proved to be liars and will have to borrow billions for their tax cuts to the rich landlords despite its slash and burn of front-line services.
And Nationals always think about the rich n run things down n sell off shit resources health schooling education doctors nurses police
Wrong
Facts show it's National that puts NZ into massive debt. For instance, the Key, English National govt incurred more debt. Under the Ardern Labour govt, for example, NZ's debt was one the of the lowest in the OECD, despite the global pandemic.
National was the one who changed the new zealand pounds to dollars in the lates 60s
New Zealand is beautiful, please fix it
Unfortunately many people in NZ are lefties and for this reason they were kept voting for the women. I think to be able to fix NZ he needs many people to stand with him and give him the majority.
Agreed get rid of this idiot coalition.
@@philipjackson5818 That's what we did last October when we got rid of the clown Labour/Greens coalition.
@@maverick214 no just look at the latest polls, it's clear people now realise they made a huge error voting this lot in.

If it weren't for the lovely Kiwi accent, I would think Prime Minister Luxon was talking about Canada under the Trudeau Liberals!
People don’t want to be ruled by who or WEF Luxon.You best not go with them
so why are you on here - funded by the WEFs Black Rock LOL : )
It's so bad kiwis are going to Aussie which isn't doing great either
We don’t need government to solve our problems. We need government to get out of the way.
This is, of course, straight out of Murdoch's playbook. Half truths being pushed to an unthinking audience.

Jacinda had a devastating effect on NZ
Quite clearly you have the mental capacity of a flea. What had the devastating impact on NZ was the Covid pandemic but everyone seems to forget it.
Ffs
Worst leader Nz has ever had
@@SeaBrownieNZ wrong
Health services ! I can recall since 1970 at least the hospital system has never been ahead on waiting times.
You are miles behind in healthcare?? Inflation?? Crime.
A political commentator said if you are PM it gives you and automatic 10% support as PM . He is 26%, and the leader of the opposition is 16%.
? ?
We have faith in the LUX Govt !
An empty car pulled up outside the Beehive and Luxon stepped out.
2017 Winston Peter's decided Ardern and Robertson were better than English and Joyce. The rest is history.
Ardern's installed replacement.
Luxon believes he can deliver better outcomes, so far all he has delivered is job cuts and a plan to take NZ backwards 30 years. He seems to be focused on trying to put policies in place that have been tired and failed previously.
Good luck with repairing the mess left by Arden.
Good interview, don’t see interviews like this in nz media.
Because our media for the most part aren't Murdoch stooges that say and do what they are told.
this is fox trash media LOL : )
He fell into the right bed
Every one leaving to go Australia.
Wow. A neutral reporter.
Labour stuffed new zealand.
God save nz from this dictator
He'll never do it
Why do we still have to look upon the face of evil? I thought this parasite was long gone! They tell us they are leaving but in reality they just go behind the scenes.
Jarbiden…. She was a joke
Same here with Labor, having to deal with slowmo's legacy he left behind
Keep on your course to provide more prosperity for New Zealanders . Don’t stop for every barking dog just put in place prudent and sensible policies to lift up NZ in Education Health and incomes . The failing of the previous Labour led Government was they were led by the nose by minority groups who shouted the loudest with weird and wonderful ideas .
That does not describe the chaos thats unfolding under Luxon, Seymour and Winston.
Oh it sounds like a normal LIEbor trait then.
shuxx luxx,
in Oz talking schmuck too..
Correction Prime Minister. People do not want you to solve their problems. People want the opportunity to solve their own problems. "Government always knows best" solutions is what got us into this mess.
Love the Kiwi's sorry they had to put up with Adern..
Who elected her ?
@@stgnsw the same people that elects all politicians US...
@@Mcklusky12341 that's my point , they elected her , why do you feel sorry for them ?
@@Mcklusky12341Yep not all sheep in NZ have 4 legs! It's the sheep that get to vote that were the problem.
Well, our brothers and sisters in Oz are having their own 'Adern' moment with albosleazy and HIS crowd of clowns! Good luck, Make sure he does NOT get another term.
It must be tough to govern a bunch of hunter gatherer tribes
They could always fuck off back to where they came from

It is
Yep take more The government will pay the bill.
Haha lol. I like that that's funny 😅😂❤
Click bait for angry people.
How did that channel get on my feed? I can’t be bothered with sycophantic interviews that kowtow to politicians like Trump and Luxon!
Oh, thought it was AU PM. SameSame current AU. LuvULongTime.
Ok ok but wat have done so far mr lux? 🤔🤔 let me think jack s###
I remembered Prime Minister Ardern delivered when it mattered and saved lots of lives chances are he ain't going to go through his term with a world wide pandemic occurring. I also think other countries should keep their noses out of our problems just like you Australia.
Every PM has to deal with some sort of issue, that’s part of the deal. No one is disputing Ardern saved lives, however at what cost? She destroyed the very fabric of New Zealand. Caused untold harm. Look at the kids who missed school, the explosion in mental health. Lost businesses, and cost of living crisis. And colossal debt our kids are straddled with. Not to mention social disharmony. These are all byproducts of Arden’s bad policy.

Yes let's hug everybody and it'll all be okay
After only 5 months in power Luxon`s popularity has gone down fast ! Mainly due to reversing popular policies of the previous government, along with 1000s of job cuts which have increased unemployment, & new laws favouring greedy landlords : (
Last time Luxons party were in power one USA resident owned 200 Auckland rental properties, & one China resident owned 150. Ardern`s government helped young home buyers by blocking foreigners from buying rentals here, & had popular policies to restrict tobacco use.
Luxons new pay rise for politicians means he will get an extra $50,000 a year, bringing his yearly pay to $520,000. He owns 7 properties, which made him $4 million last year alone,
On top of that Luxon has found a spare $3 billion in the public purse & is already giving it All to landlords ! LOL : )
Luxons government is now 6 points behind the opposition in the latest poll - the worst result ever for a new NZ government ! !
New Zealanders want a government for the people, not for rich yuppies -
Too much Greed - Most Kiwis want Luxon Out ! ! : )
What a load of trash!!! Most Kiwis are just glad the last trash has been dumped !
Can you please stop showing this person please. We are very happy she is gone and plans to stay away.
Christ we just got rid of Adern and now we’ve got another John Key back what’s the world coming to.
NZ has had some terrible prime ministers but ardern took incompetency to a level never seen before . The woman had absolutely no idea and really her level of ability was probably more nearer to being on a board of trustees at her local school . Just woeful beyond belief !
Ineptitude which is all the lefties are capable of .
Stick to it Christopher Luxon .

Ardern governed through a once in a century pandemic. Luxon performance so far has been far far worse. $3bn in tax cuts for landlords for a start.

And why are a record nzers going to australia ! Because nz is going backwards under national !

I voted against this women because of the way she handled the covid protests. But I have to admit that she got NZ through covid BETTER then any country in the world.

Born 1970. Oil criss 1973, think big policy ( big debt), high unemployment late 70s ,1981 Springbox protests, labour party free student loan scheme, etc.
Statehouse support ( labour social policy continued by National).
Im very skeptical of the latest political poll. People are getting what they voted for, reform.
I think national will do well considering the sh*t they were left with. Our green party currently have issues with personality disorders so thank f**k they are not running the country!
Latest poll as usual run by MSM and only sheeple bother with them anymore. And they only represent 1/4 of NZers
What a stupid thing to say that you have to be privileged or have money
He ran air new Zealand into the ground
What are you talking about? Air NZ was in one of its strongest periods when he was in charge. During his tenure, the airline was consistently identified as having the number one corporate reputation in NZ and Australia, shareholder returns rose around 275 percent, customer satisfaction at seven times the industry rate resulted in a slew of awards, and employee engagement was in the top quartile of global companies.
Why is Jabcinda not in prison?
For same reason that Luxton isnt
Why should she be??
Our country that is bitching about the current government is too used to handouts that's why and I'm over the moon that Luxon is hammering down on all the people that use our beneficiary system as a life line when they could just simply get work. It's sad to say simply too but it's the reality of the situation
Bullshit ! He`s just got rid of 20, 000 jobs, unemployment is rocketing & we`re the ones paying their benefits ! : (
❤ well put.
Spent sometime in NZ. What Ardean has done to the country is unbelievable. Again another person who was promoted to level of her incompetence.
Hard on the workforce to rebuild, and it will come right just in time for labor to get back in power to have a big spend up again on god knows what.
Taxing more is a good thing
I hope Luxon locks Bicinda ardern up.
Good summary. Should have a Public enquire on adern and how she stuff nz
Adern recklessly threw the 5 million piece kiwi Jigsaw into the wind, its going to take all his skills to put it back together again.

The previous Labour government completely failed NZ.
Ardern was an immature, idealistic, dictatorial so-called leader who had never had a job in the real business world. Sadly she and others in her team have set back NZ many years which should never be forgotten.
