Jack Tame is crying a river of tears because Prime Minister Christopher Luxon won’t go on his weekly lefty-drivel show. Morning Report at Red Radio is likewise miffed because ACT MPs prefer not to prostrate themselves before lefty shills.
On Sunday, Tame – the best political interviewer on television – said his show had received “many messages” in recent weeks and months “about politicians who are prepared to be interviewed on Q+A”.
“It’s now more than a year since Christopher Luxon was last on the show. He’s actually never been interviewed on Q+A in his capacity as Prime Minister. We’ve requested him many times. We’ve asked his team what dates would suit. We’ve tried to work in with what is obviously and understandably a busy schedule but so far he hasn’t appeared,” said Tame.
“Just for the sake of context, we went through our records and the last National Prime Ministers, Sir Bill English and Sir John Key, were interviewed on Q+A more than four times a year on average. During her time as Prime Minister, Dame Jacinda Ardern was interviewed on Q+A twice a year.
“We think there’s democratic value in putting questions to politicians of all stripes and we hope the Prime Minister agrees to be interviewed soon.”
