Chris Luxon, New Zealand's Prime Minister, outlines his government's priorities: fixing the economy to lower living costs, restoring law and order, and using economic growth to fund health and education. He emphasizes focus and a managerial approach.
Fix the economy so that we can reduce this cost of living. For me my mantra is really simple, right? A country is very complex. It's definitely not like running a company. There is differences, let's be clear about it but some of the principles are similar. But for me I've just got to be ruthlessly focused on we're there to fix the economy so that we can reduce the cost of living. We're going to restore law and order and because we've got a strong economy we can then make sure we can have better public health, public services like health and education and so that's what I'm fixated on. Yes, there's a lot of other issues and don't get me wrong, I've got views on all of those too. But when you ask me when I leave this job if I'm successful what will it be that we want to we've left behind stronger economy, restored law and order, better health and education.
