Chris Hipkins pops up after a long absence and claims National are not prepared for the incoming oil shock.

Given the IMF's warning that the fuel crisis is likely to lead to a global recession, Hipkins seems close to the mark.

Luxon responded, that was why the government was "focused on avoiding the mistakes seen during the Covid response."

Pardon? Is this somehow Labour's fault?

It seems bizarre that Luxon isn't considering options like carless days and working from home, as many other countries are already doing. Especially when NZ is right at the far end of the supply chain.

Please... take a moment to appreciate this classic gobbledygook from Luxon as he tries to think on his feet.

"What I agree with is we want this resolved as quickly as possible. We want the parties negotiating, I know ceasefire negotiations, you know, we want ceasefire will remain holding, we want the parties negotiating a negotiated settlement."

It's embarrassing that this inadequate man leads our country.

Still relevant I reckon, it was Gaza then, it's Iran now.

Iran has openly accused #NZ of acts of aggression in what legal experts are calling an illegal war complete with what appears to be documented war crimes.

The facts do seem to support this as New Zealand is physically providing intelligence that enables and assists US Israeli strikes on Iran.

We have the capacity to stop this.

We haven't.

The only ethical, moral and legal decision this #Luxon #NZPol government should be making with regard to the illegal and immoral war against Iran in defence of the child molesting, genocidal #Epstein Empire is to advise #Trump and his rogue state to either surrender immediately or be isolated from any alliance with #Aotearoa #NewZealand.

In the meantime if this government had any sense it would be making arrangements to buy its oil, fertiliser and any other commodities that need to travel through the Strait of Hormuz using the Chinese yuan.

Sadly, this govt seems determined to support NZ being taken down with the failing US dollar.

Trump has just threatened to attack Greenland if NATO doesn’t help him in his illegal war with Iran.

With NZ coward in chief Christopher #Luxon supporting the pedophile president is he not only abandoning international law but also NZ’s European allies while backing blackmail as a legitimate tactic?

#NZPol

It is really easy to understand why #Luxon likes #Trump so much when you understand they're both con artists.

In case anyone is wondering who gave #NZPol PM #Luxon the idea that being more like a chilled out entertainer than a Prime Minister would be popular, we have our answer.
