Everything Christopher Luxon said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Luxon: Top CEOs are often B-plus students with even emotional temperaments
“I think when I've sat down with, you know, I remember sitting in Chicago where I lived for a long time with a bunch of quite high powered CEOs and realizing that actually academically, maybe they were all B plus type students, you know, smart enough people. Bu…”
Luxon: New Zealand offers a three-year residency pathway for NZ$5M
“That's why we've just launched actually what we call the active investor visa. You know, if you want to put five million dollars New Zealand into investment in New Zealand there's a pathway to residency in three years.”
Luxon supports extending New Zealand parliamentary terms to four years
“Yeah, I mean, I personally am a supporter of extending our terms to four years. I mean, obviously here in India, you have a five-year term. The UK has a five-year term. Australia and New Zealand, I think, are one of the few countries that have three year terms…”
Luxon: Bureaucratic solutions often roam around searching for undefined problems
“Governments don't do problem definition well and therefore the solutions are often roaming around in search of problems to attach to.”
Luxon: Global order is shifting from economics and rules to security
“But you are seeing a shift from rules to power, as I said at Racina, you're seeing a shift from economics to security.”
Luxon: Pure disruption and pure incrementalism both fail in leadership
“And actually if it's all provoke and stimulate change, turning everything upside down, that never works. But if it's also just more incrementalism and more of the same, that also doesn't work. And I think the task of a leader, whether you're a CEO or prime min…”
Luxon: Voters are harder to deal with than corporate shareholders
“I think without doubt, the public. I mean, you're dealing with much more substantive issues about whether they're getting a dividend or return.”
Luxon: New Zealand might achieve net zero six years early
“And obviously we've got a big commitment to, you know, net 20, 50. And in fact our latest plan, which we have legislated into our parliament you know, even since we might even get there six years early.”
Luxon: Being a CEO does not mean someone will make a great politician
“There are many businesses that are very badly run with very bad CEOs that actually don't do a very good job at all. And therefore just because they're CEOs doesn't mean they're going to make great politicians.”
Luxon: 2025 India trip delegation was largest ever for a New Zealand PM
“I brought the biggest delegation of any prime minister on any visit that we've had from New Zealand, and I had a big business delegation, and also a community delegation, and also our indigenous Kapa Haka, our team, performing arts team with us as well.”
Luxon: Tying your identity to a job title shatters you eventually
“If you put all of your identity into a title, ah, and into some perceived status, that then will come and go, and if you put all your identity into that stuff, ah, rather than actually who you are as an individual or a person and what kind of person you're bec…”
Luxon: New Zealand candidate campaign spending is capped at NZ$26,000
“I think, ah, in an electoral campaign, you can't spend more than 26,000 New Zealand dollars, ah, where every member of parliament, every candidate is allowed to spend up to that amount, but you can't legally spend over that.”
Luxon: Peter Beck made New Zealand fourth-biggest space rocket launcher globally
“You think about someone like Sir Peter Beck today, who's now made New Zealand the fourth biggest launcher of rockets into space after the US, Russia and China.”
Luxon: 107 organizations with $6.5T in capital visited NZ investment summit
“Actually just last week we had actually a 107 organizations come down from 16 different countries with six and a half trillion dollars worth of money to invest to make that exact case to them.”
