Good on this guy.

Cool to see the safe areas coming into effect around abortion services too - as a Christchurchian I've often seen the anti-choice/forced birth people outside the hospital by the park. I'm so glad they won't be allowed there with their stupid signs anymore.

I love that random bypassers were supporting him, especially the road crew donating gloves.

National wouldn't have done this. Luxon is a evangelical.

Be interesting to see if they try to unwind it once they get in, I somehow doubt it, will be extremely disappointed if they do

Luxon is already on thin ice with a lot of people because of his beliefs, I doubt he would give them ammunition like that.

Personally, it would make me reconsider voting for either them or ACT.

That is a bold assumption about his competence as a political thinker..... His record does not look great in this regard.
