How do you feel about Prime Minister Luxon using a back entrance to avoid protesters? Was this a practical decision for safety, or does it suggest a lack of courage in leadership?"

He's a spineless coward

Yeah I dunno. I don't think this was about safety, just didn't want to talk to them.

I did take a second look when I saw he was arriving at the "Class Act Awards", but it made more sense when I saw the awards were for students not politicians.

There is something funny about him just bypassing them, to be honest.

I'm surprised that someone who's opinion of them self exceeds their ability would miss the self aggrandising spectacle of using the front door.
