    I had not known that Luxon's apartment is literally across the road
    from Parliament - no wonder there was a little derision when he used a government limousine to be delivered such a short distance to
    Parliament following the election!

    More desperation from Rich. No real news, nothing of value or substance - just petty personal attacks.

    Better talk to Winston then. He used to live on Mulgrave St (near
    Thorndon Quay) and insisted in taking taxis to and from Parliament. It
    would have been a 10 minute walk. The taxi took 20-30 minutes in
    week-day mornings in peak-hour traffic. He also insisted that the
    taxi reverse up the drive to his front door (there was no turning
    room), and Winston did not do 20-metre walks from his front door to
    the footpath.

    Indeed. One recent Prime Minister used to get his haircut in Central
    Wellington - a bit further away than Mulgrave St; I think it was in
    Ballance St), and always took a Crown limo which annoyed people by
    double parking while it waited . . it was explained as necessary for
    security reasons - perhaps the same applies to Luxon and Peters; do
    you think?

    Sure thing. Just look athe massive increase in the shooting, stabbings and using a car as a weapon to kill. All an afterflow from Labour.

    The amount of security for the last two PMs was increased significantly compared to previous ones.
    Anyway, this is the silliest topic in months.

    I doubt if John Key was affected by that - the real security threats
    came when Ardern was Prime Minister from disinformation campaigns from
    the far-right.

    There is no far right in our politics fortunately, the real threat to Ardern came from left wing elements who were upset at her deceit and lies. Disinformation is unfortunate but not dangerous, it is something that a liberal society like ours has to simply put up with - Ardern never understood that and neither do you.
