OPINION: Prime Minister Christopher Luxon sometimes can't escape his own corporate instinct for evasion, and in what should have been a soft interview with ZB's Mike Hosking, Luxon unnecessarily "made a meal of it", to paraphrase Hosking.
It was farcical and all too common from the PM.
The Hound wonders if new terminology will enter the NZ lexicon: 'Doing a Luxon - (v) meaning to waffle on, talk gibberish, churning out buzz words and corporate speak in volumes equal to what the average cow emits after a big feed'.
Luxon's inability to speak off the cuff in language the average person connects with is a problem for his minders.
Is he not taking advice?
One commentator suggested it would be easier to teach a dog to play golf than teach Luxon to speak the language of the people.
