Christopher Luxon delivered a sledge on Aussies on Wednesday in parliament, as he defended Paul Goldsmith against ham-fisted accusations by opposition drop-kicks but while good it could have been so much better.
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is returning serve after Prime Minister Christopher Luxon made fun of New Zealand’s transtasman cousins in Parliament.
Yesterday, Luxon responded to questions from the Opposition about how Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister Paul Goldsmith told his staff to “simplify” an invitation sent to his Australian counterpart for Matariki celebrations by removing “Aotearoa” and “tēnā koe”.
In the House, Luxon quipped, “It pays to be incredibly simple and clear and use English”, when talking to Australians.
