Double Cabinet session as Luxon sets cracking pace
Cabinet will meet both tomorrow and Wednesday to firm up the coalition’s 100 day plan of action.
Ministers were sworn in at government House this morning, with Tama Pōtaka from National and Shane Jones from NZ First taking the oath in te reo Māori.
New Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says items like removing te reo names from state sector agencies and introducing ACT’s Treaty of Waitangi Principles Bill will probably have to wait for next year.
“Our number one job is to fix the economy. We have to reduce the cost of living, get inflation under control so we can lower the interest rates, we can make food more affordable, we can deal with lower rents, lower fuel,” he says.
