Heather, good on Chris Luxon for ditching his regular spot on breakfast. It's a good move. That's from Tina. 5.25. I disagree with Tina. I don't think that Chris Luxon should have given up on breakfast the way that he has today and pulled out of his weekly slot. slot there. I mean obviously I say that it is his prerogative to do it and the truth is that we actually in New Zealand and our media have more access to our prime ministers than any other countries or than many other countries. I mean loads of other prime ministers, think even Australia, do not take the number of questions after press conferences that Chris Luxon does. They do not turn up for the same number of press conferences as often as he does or Jacinda did or Helen did or John Key did. I mean some countries like Canada can go a long time. time between drinks of talking to their prime ministers. Truth is Chris Luxon is not good in media interviews. A lot of the trouble that he has faced has come from stuffing them up. You had Tova with the how many Māori ministers do you have stuff up recently. You had Mike Hosking last year with the will you or will you not have fired Andrew Bailey stuff up and then there was the I don't know how to be any clearer with you guys about a round bollocks which happened earlier this year as well and there is just this long list of him just making these mistakes in media interviews. So if he is not good in media interviews on balance probably he is. He is better off not doing these interviews in an election year. The trouble is people will see this for what it is, which is that he is running scared or, as Mike Hosking said of Jacinda when she didn't want to appear on his show, running for the hills. He is trying to get away from situations he can't handle very well. And those situations are media interviews. Now, because by the way, it's not just Tova O'Brien on Breakfast, it's Jack Tame on Q&A as well on TVNZ. Now, I don't look... Look, I don't think that he can credibly blame the Mikey Sherman door knocking situation or the Benedict Collins perceived bias for this because these are different programs. That is the Press Gallery which reports to One News. This is TVNZ Breakfast. They are different. But I don't think people are going to care. I mean, I say this to you having analysed the situation. Most people out there are just not going to care. They hate the media. So they're going to say fair enough. But this is what Jacinda started, right? When Jacinda did it, I said watch because this is going to start a thing and it's going to... And it's going to happen all over the show afterwards. And if you didn't like Jacinda doing it, have the same standard. You can't hate what Jacinda did and then love what Chris Luxon has done.
