New poll from 1News/Kantar

Potentially but if it was crisis then it is an apocalypse now.

Ardern was caught badly by Luxons comments in a Cost of Living Crisis.  She couldn't admit it was or it makes the government look bad but then she went the other direction with denial which made her look out of step.  Luxon backed her nicely into the corner.

Well I can't disagree, it is never a good look when politicians deny the reality that people are living...  Let's hope she learns from this in the remaining time until the next election...

There is a video of a recent interview of her by Ryan Bridge circulating on social media where he questions her about the cost of living but specifically the amount of tax the government takes from the price of a litre of petrol.
One question was: do you know how much the government takes in tax from a litre of fuel?
She didnÔÇÖt.
It was not a great interview for her, full of stutters, stammers umms and aahhs and lots of denial and deflection and the usual blame Covid.
A Prime Minister who realises she is in trouble big time.
