What I don’t get about Luxon saying he’d fly commercial instead of paying for the maintenance of the 757’s, is that doesn’t the airforce need to maintain the planes anyway? If we can’t replace them until 2030 is he suggesting we just don’t have them at all until then?

He has to make a statement and it has to reflect negatively on the administration. In this case it also reflects negatively on the country but he doesn't seem to understand that.

I hope he does deal to let another million come in to New Zealand from HK

I'm going to keep updating this once or twice a day as new stories come in so I've pinned it for now. If I've missed something, let me know.

By the way, if you want to make sure you don't accidentally gain access to those Herald articles behind a paywall (and a bunch of other sites), make sure you don't add this to the filter lists on uBlock

Great thing for NZ. Let's hope another 2 million HK can come to NZ!
