Luxon's wealthy, get over it | Raw Politics | Newsroom

- In this week's episode of Raw Politics: the Prime Minister declares himself wealthy and sorted, Darleen should say goodbye even though she's Green, plus a bad retweet.
Chris Luxon can't win. When he owns seven houses he's a capitalist rack renter. When he sells some of them he's exploiting Government policy changes and saving on tax.
Newsroom political editor Laura Walters, senior political reporter Marc Daalder and co-editor Tim Murphy ask if the political risk of the selldown, now, of the Luxon housing portfolio is as bad as the Prime Minister's response to media queries of: "I'm wealthy and I'm sorted".
The panel also discusses if former Green MP Darleen Tana should leave Parliament of her own accord before her ex party is forced to act hypocritically and have her removed as an MP. Either way, the damage to the Greens will be transitory and all but forgotten at the election in two years.
Our reader question asks how Labour MP Damien O'Connor could get away with retweeting an indefensible tweet on Palestinians and Israel. We wonder if the returning Labour leader Chris Hipkins might take another view.
Finally, the panelists recommend something to read, listen to or watch on the weekend ahead:

It started well before Feb. It started when he blocked a KO complex in his electorate "to protect our house prices", actively making the most vulnerable homeless for his wealth. Just like sacrificing our health system for his landlords breaks. After all, he refuses to answer if HE'S put his rent down like he pretended landlords would do because of them due to those breaks. That's not mentioning forcing the kiwi taxpayer to pay for the MOST EXPENSIVE MP's office in the entire country, in NZ's HISTORY, getting kiwi's to pay off the Mortgage on the house instead of renting a office space like every other MP does - for hundreds of thousands cheaper.
@@tanepukenga1421 How can we expect Luxon and his people to do the right thing by NZers , they have skin in the game, with property investment. Luxon has the audacity to claim accommodation allowance for living in his own property. Little wonder politicians,including Luxon poo poo a CGT, they're making easy money.
I think a leader should lead by example, unfortunately Luxon appears to be morally bankrupt. Just plain greedy.
He's the most arrogant prime minister we've had in my lifetime. And that's saying something.
"We will continue to be your sole source of truth"... try again.
@@simplygreen5832He has no bite tho. The other 2 are taking liberties with him aaaaaand his cabinet ministers. If your a national supporter be worried the middle are getting fucked off with the feet dragging and fingerpointing.
Yes agree, he had reputation as being arrogant and full of unwarranted self confidence. So long as he and his are doing fine, all is well.
Worst PM in living history .
@@tooxtalivai0690 That was a Jacinda quote. The most arrogant PM NZ has ever had, including the current one.
Truth be told, I don't support any NZ party, they're all useless far as I'm concerned. Show me a party with a net negative immigration policy and I might be interested.
Nope. JA gets that top spot.@@Kelvinpaul4
Thoroughly enjoying Raw Politics, perfect balance of good journalism and humour. Deranged or otherwise. Keep it up team!
Its not the money clowns its principal and exactly when hes cutting everything so not impressed with this discussion
Being wealthy is fine being out of touch with average folks struggles etc while giving wealthier folks big tax breaks (eg landlords) is another matter entirely.
All the king's horses and all atlas's men couldn't put luxy together agein😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As said by Mark Twain " all you need to succeed is arrogance and confidence " that says it for Luxton.
vance lied all the way
A poodle on Seymour's chain ,his lust for power makes him weak. Two deputy prime ministers ,woke and weak.
Changing the rules prior to selling off your investments is pretty much insider trading.
He makes John Key seem like a great RW PM.
Damien O'Connor issued a statement saying he removed the retweet.
Trouble is, he didn't explain why he retweeted it in the first place. Hmmmmm.................
He directly benefited from changes his govt made to tax deductability for landlords on his rental propeties n shifting brightline test to avoid capital gains on those sold. Shud ask his tenants if he reduced their rent... accordingly.
Big hole in a fair tax system, NZ being the only one of 35 OECD countries w no CGTax.
@@howardmarshall3110 It's a conflict of interest , at least, if not corruption. It has to change, if NZ is to improve it's economic performance and development, for the betterment of NZers.
@@Kelvinpaul4 Agree, very like insider trading - changing something within your power to directly benefit yourself, this govt is very much following the mistakes of Neoliberalism that left the UK in such a big mess.
After what has happened throughout the last 8 to 10 years, no matter what party the individual is with, have lost all 'trust chips'. The 'trust chip' stacks are empty.
All words and phrases have been used up. Only actions remain.
@@oliverbailey4204 True, my first disappointment with Labour was Jacinda's statement " No capital gains tax under her watch" when I heard that I new Labour was not alot different than National.
In the words of Dexys Midnight Runners, "c'mon Darleen!"😄
Thanks guys. Marc is funny - 'this is the future Simeon Browne wants for us' (speeding through restricted zones) ... 'derangement' ... and last week I laughed out loud when he described the (hypothetical) police coming and shoving him onto a train to get him into work (on the work from home issue ...). 💐💐💐
We are watching. The end of America . Two clowns .
I won't be holding my breath waiting for Chris Hipkins to make any bold decisions regarding O'Connor or anything else!
That is my biggest problem with him; nice guy but too wishy-washy. He will still be weighing up a CGT when he is in his rocking chair.
I have lived through a few crap Prime ministers , Muldoon then Lange and the fish and chip gang (founders of the ACT Party) and now we have "" Buzz Lightyears "" (Luxon).
I find your comments on the whole Palestinian-Israel conflict and Damien O'Connor FAILS to recognise all that Palestinians have suffered in the last 76 years since the people who established Israel slaughtered, evicted, sent into exile and since then have levelled apartheid on the Palestinians in Gaza & the West Bank.
hey Tim sounded like hate him
Your claim on capital gain for the Wellington property, is probably wy too high. You have forgotten about the cost of renovations, and the agent's fee.
Could you guys grow up!
Hi Rod. Listening/watching is not compulsory. The podcast is both serious and with a bit of a light-hearted take here and there.
Why don’t you go get some real News and get over your jealousy of wealthy people. NZ Media are so pathetic.
Best government we've had for ages. They are working very well together. Luxon is showing himself to be an excellent leader,steering NZ through a difficult situation. Peters and Seymour are also performing well in their roles. Under Arderne and Hipkins, NZ was on the brink of disaster. Capable Kiwis leaving in droves, the health system a shambles and violence out of control.
Surely, nobody in their right mind would want another term of a Labour, Green, and Te Pati Maori coalition.
Have to disagree. Feels like there making nz worse
your kidding right?
What is it that you think is being achieved? This government has already been responsible for some of the most reckless, unprincipled and short-sighted decisions we have ever seen. And the constant blaming of the last government is lazy and does not bear out in health, taxation, education, infrastructural, the environment and local government. All fart and no shit. It will come home to roost in quick order.
Coalition of chaos. Wrecking my country! Lyin Luxon is worse than Trump.
Blue tinted glasses. All perception and no substance. Good politics perhaps. And don't think I have red tinted glasses, I'd rather be blind.
This podcast is so sadly woke. Vomit
@patu5798 no one's forcing you to listen it mate.
@@yesterday1396 - - Don't worry, he wasn't listening not really he lets the words run over his ears and then angrily repeats what he already believed with no regard for factual accuracy or even any correlation to reality itself.
you touch kids
