Trevor Ammundsen’s latest column reads like a love letter to the National Party and PM Luxon, blatantly ignoring reality. Luxon’s abysmal minus 5 approval rating speaks volumes, while Labour leader Hipkins has a plus 13 favourability rating (recent 1News Verian poll).
Why such a stark difference? Let’s examine Luxon’s highly unpopular policies.
Axing vital classroom upgrades, leaving our children in overcrowded, damp spaces. Ditching Three Waters for a convoluted 10-entity mess, with unaffordable rate rises already evident. Undermining successful affordable housing initiatives, because who needs a roof over their head? Cancelling new ferries, with a much more expensive and less efficient alternative. Embracing higher speed limits and tolls – genius move.
But wait, there’s more! Swapping nutritious school lunches for subpar alternatives, because malnourished kids learn better, right? Embarking on yet another healthcare overhaul, because what the system really needs is more chaos. And let’s not forget snuffing out life-saving anti-smoking efforts, because who doesn’t love preventable deaths?
Yes, Luxon will go down as the most significantly incompetent and unpopular PM. New Zealand deserves better than this circus act masquerading as leadership.
