"I haven't seen the stories. In fairness, I need to be able to have

Here's Guyon Espiner grilling Luxon on his government, setting aside
$216 million to cut taxes on Heated Tobacco Products by 50% despite
there being no solid evidence that they help people quit smoking.

saying it's easier to be on a benefit than it is to go and do these
other things and you don't know that basic piece of information"
8. Penny Simmonds signing off on sudden cuts to respite care for
families of disabled people
"Luxon replied that he was unaware of the changes prior to them being
made."
Disability funding: Chris Hipkins calls for Penny Simmonds to be
sacked over 'absolute debacle'
9. Ministry of education rehiring staff as consultants
"Consulting firms are now asking some of the MoE staff being made
redundant to work for them, essentially doing the same work but at
double the price the ministry would have paid."
Luxon said "I'm not aware of that."
10. Allegations of his mentor and close friend, John Key's insider
trading
"It's not something I'm aware of, I'm unaware of what's been going on
there."
Asked about the John Key insider trading allegations, Luxon fluctuated >between "I've read the reports," "it's not something I'm aware of," "I
read the statement that he released yesterday" and "I'm unaware of
what's been going on there." So which is it?
11. Abuse in state care report
Luxon fronted media where he conceded he had not yet read the final
report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in State and
Faith-based Care.
PM On Defensive After Minister Admits Not Reading Interim Abuse Report

create some stock images."
National Party uses AI in attack ads: Christopher Luxon 'not aware'

Luxon said he was "completely unaware" of the "very serious
allegations".
Prime minister 'completely unaware' of ex-minister's child sex abuse >allegations

"What emerged last night was a new series of allegations that I was >completely unaware of."

subsidised
"[Public transport] can't be subsidised or underwritten" Luxon

over whether National supported the clean car discount, and then the
clean car standard. And earlier this year, Luxon appeared unaware that
public transport was heavily subsidised.
20. Specific details about his policy
Not only does Luxon repeat the phrases "I'm unaware", "I've not been >briefed", "I've not been advised" ad nauseam, he regularly gets
details wrong.
When challenged on one of these errors, Luxon said: Whoop-de-doo >"Whoop-de-doo" indeed.
Health Minister Shane Reti faces growing pressure over Health NZ
finances
Layers of management: Reti and Luxon stood by their claim there was 14
layers of management at Health NZ.

that's how organisations tend to measure," Luxon said.

"So you're arguing it's maybe 13 not 14, well whoop de doo."
