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.

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