Mr LUXON is however the head of our Government. Having been in occupation of business positions where assessing people can make or break a career
June 27th a very old and cognitively impaired man supposed by many who should have known better to be entirely competent and still the acknowledged leader of the perhaps not so Free world, was dropped on a very large stage without a teleprompter.
The death throws ensued and 23 days later Biden gave up his already doomed bid for re-election.
Over the subsequent days, slowly, sometimes as reluctant as a Crow considering baits in a field, the Democrat machine swung into line and by the 26th July Obama joined in and the Harris candidacy became fait accompli.
Mid way through the at times excruciating 30 days between Biden being thrown to the lions and Harris getting the de facto nomination before her Democrat Party Convention even met, a slowly diminishing stream of people continued the denial that the old man was fine and chipper and the Debate disaster when scales really began falling from eyes was merely the result of “jet lag” (he had not flown sufficiently to justify that rubbish cloak for weeks) and a head cold? The Prime Minister of Our Country had an admittedly very brief encounter in Washington with Biden and afterwards continued with the charade that Biden was not at all impaired and with somewhat fulsome praise continued the Fraudulent status quo.
Now Luxon has no recognised qualification in assessing neurological decline, however he has allegedly been managing high level teams of managers in areas where some ability to recognise whether someone remains capable of delivering from their allotted job description or not.
He could have suggested The President was in good form and left it there but he went on to imply there was nothing from his meeting to induce concerns, five days later Biden quit by an electronic message.
Mr Luxon really does need to learn his lines to give wriggle room or more diplomatically “Plausible Deniability” as he became to his voting public a boot licking crawler in being nice at any cost and buying into perhaps the greatest fraud in covering the failure of a political leader since “Downfall”.
Yes the shine has gone off Luxon.
Basically a competent mid level manager. Air New Zealand was a challenge, leader of the National Party , and New Zealand, a step too far.
Interestingly Foran, CEO of Air NZ, while sideling other costly cost centres doesn’t appear to have had the balls to kill off Luxon’s little pet Maorification project, Safety videos.
Even as leader of the Opposition forward planning and strategic thinking was not his forte.
One only has to watch the National Party Face Book posts celebrating minor achievements such as removal of the Akl fuel tax, filling pot holes, sucking up to Maori leadership, ad nauseum, etc to realise that fact.
His failure to act against the Governor of the Reserve Bank, the Ceo and Chairman of NZTA, further examples of his weakness.
A band aid on maths when any person with intelligence and longing for a future for our country can see this is the wrong tack.
As for the Biden gaffe, embarrassing doesn’t even cover it. More on the fuckwit scale, than the embarrassment and humiliation scale.
While I hate to say it perhaps Shane Jones is Prime Minister ship material after all…he seems to have a better grip.
