Listen "Christopher Luxon talks economy, Māori relations, Hipkins, and 'corporate speak'"
Episode Synopsis
Christopher Luxon believes his so-called ‘coalition of chaos’ has defied the critics. The Prime Minister is spending the remainder of 2024 lauding his government’s achievements – inflation is under 3%, a 30% increase of cops on the beat, 26 new cancer treatments, tax relief just to name a few. But he’s ending the year facing criticism over his handling of the Treaty Principles Bill, and for his corporate way of talking – and poll results show a deadlock between the left and right coalitions. So, with a promise to get the country ‘back on track’ and a focus on rebuilding the economy – can Luxon turn around the public criticism? Today on The Front Page, the Prime Minister, joins us to discuss the year that’s been, his hopes for 2025 – and if the new year could see the government up the ante when it comes to welcoming foreign investment.
