No doubt Christopher Luxon will slam himself into reverse gear about that statement, just as he's done about many other statements. National's "Mr Gaffe man" is an Olympic-level back peddler. Do National support Matariki? Will they cancel Labour Day or any other holiday? Or was he, as he told us, just being facetious? Now, at least with Judith Collins, we knew that if we could look at her eyebrows, we could tell if she was joking. With Mr Luxon, I presume we have to look at the luminescence of his head to tell whether or not he is joking. From wanting to stop subsidising public transport to calling those on income support "bottom feeders", to scrapping the Māori Health Authority, how do New Zealanders actually know what Christopher Luxon and the National Party stand for, when every day there is the screeching tyres of the black Mercedes in reverse gear?
