National's new mantra? It's a lot like Let's Do This (The Spinoff)

Christopher Luxon looked full of confidence, but faces criticism for comparing crime in New Zealand with 'the southside of Chicago'.

That Cameron “Whaleoil” Slater and Simon Lusk, stars of National Party Punch and Judy psychodramas of the past, are involved is a mixed blessing for Luxon and the new party president, Sylvia Wood. As far as the rest of the year is concerned, meanwhile, the mantra is clear enough. The remainder of Luxon’s speech majored on the economy, and a pledge to be “single-mindedly focused on a clear set of priorities”. Luxon’s speech followed the announcement earlier in the day of what he called a “limited reshuffle”, and so it was. Another change of note is the return of an “Auckland” portfolio, with Simeon Brown adding responsibility for Super City issues to his existing transport role. In the last survey by Talbot Mills, completed in November, the number of people who thought the country was on the “wrong track” rose from 46% to 49%, with those picking “right track” dropping by about the same margin to 41%.
