The three C’s: Covid, Cost of living, and Christopher Luxon.
Three Gals One Beehive
The gals have a really useful discussion to break down all the jargon politicians fling around about the cost of living - which is front and centre for us all right now. Are Christopher Luxon's tax cuts going to help with it? And did his State of the Nation Speech hit the mark?

National's accusing the government of scaring the public with projections of the future size of our waterbills.Local government minister Nanaia Mahuta yesterday announced she wants to create four new water entities to better distribute the gigantic cost of improving our water infrastructure. She claims that if the government doesn't do this, households could pay as much as $9,000 a year for water by 2050. Christopher Luxon, National's local government spokesperson, told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he's got serious reservation with the proposed models."I can't see how the scale benefits are going to be achieved by putting a whole bunch of unconnected towns together into a ribbon."LISTEN ABOVE

Peter Dunne: Christopher Luxon warned to avoid repeating failings of David Shearer and Don Brash
The Weekend Collective
Christopher Luxon "tested the waters" this week with his maiden speech in Parliament. The former Air New Zealand CEO turned Botany MP told Parliament: "It seems it has become acceptable to stereotype those who have a Christian faith in public life as being 'extreme', so I will say a little about my Christian faith."It has anchored me, given my life purpose and shaped my values – and it puts me in the context of something bigger than myself," he said.His faith had a strong influence on who he was and how he related to people."I see Jesus showing compassion, tolerance and care for others. He doesn't judge, discriminate or reject people. He loves unconditionally."Former Minister Peter Dunne told The Weekend Collective that Luxon handled the issue well in his speech. "In a way, that's a little bit of signalling to that evangelical Christian base in the National Party that he's one of them, while flagging to everyone else that he's not a threat." If it means that he is looking to make a go for National's leadership, Dunne says that his business experience will tell him not to make an attempt until he has the numbers."That means make sure you have the numbers in the caucus, and make sure you can win the election."He says that David Shearer and Don Brash are two examples of former party leaders who were promoted too early based on promise and crashed - so Luxon will need to get some experience under his belt first.
