Luxon Insults Struggling Businesses Instead Of Fixing The EconomyChristopher Luxon has once again shown how out of touch he is, telling struggling business owners to grow up, instead of taking responsibility for a weak economy under his watch. "Businesses aren't asking for a patronising lecture and a handout from the Prime Minister, they're asking for an economy that works," Labour finance and economy spokesperson Barbara Edmonds said. "Rotorua businesses told Christopher Luxon confidence is freefalling, customers are disappearing, and costs keep rising. "Christopher Luxon promised to fix the economy and now he says, 'who cares what the Government will think or do?’ Small business owners deserve a government that listens and has a real plan to help them succeed,” Barbara Edmonds said.
