Christopher Luxon’s communication problem
About this episode
The episode discusses Christopher Luxon's communication issues following a controversial breakfast meeting with businesspeople.
Follow At Large with Toby Manhire now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. The prime minister got a shock when he saw the media coverage of his breakfast meeting with Rotorua businesspeople – it talked of him scolding them about a “parent-child mentality” in government-business relations, urging “adult” behaviour and recounting his own attitude in Chicago corporate life. So his office issued a transcript of the exchange, which didn’t much help. Duncan Greive, founder of The Spinoff, joins Toby (with a cameo from Claude AI) to discuss the PM’s communication challenges, and his ongoing struggle to take any grip of the narrative. (Since this podcast was recorded, Luxon has apologised for the remarks.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
