Waffle Man

OPINION: In what world does old mate Christopher Luxon live?

He can't remember how many Māori are in cabinet and when pushed gets it all terribly wrong, then he ignores two new ministers who were about to get their ministerial warrants from the Governor General.

Sure, it was a stupid 'gtocha' question about the Māori members, but the befuddled live performances from Luxon must be concerning his handlers.

If he can't remember who sits around the cabinet table, what else can't he remember?

In an election year, this is serious.

Would Chris Bishop make such a blunder? This old mutt doubts it.

It will be interesting to see what impact Luxon's ongoing blunders and management waffle speak have as the media pressure - and the 'gotcha' media tricks - intensify in the run-up to the election.
