Luxon counting wrong numbers says Ngarewa -Packer
Māori Party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer says National leader Chris Luxon has bigger issues to deal with on his path to power than the Māori Party.
Chris Luxon has ruled out working with the Māori Party even if it holds the balance of power after October’s election.
Ms Ngarewa-Packer says with poll numbers even lower than previous leader Judith Collins’s pre-election count, he needs to find a better strategy than anti-Māori Party rhetoric.
“I call him out as well. I think this one person, one vote is dog whistling. He knows it. We all know it. And when you start to get that desperate and that low it’s normally the swansong. We’ve herad it from all all previous leaders, and there’s been so many since I’ve been in there the last three years, but yeah, yeah, he ha,” she says.
