We have imperial preference now thanks to Brexit, slightly less valuable than in the past though.

The convicts are showing us both how it's done. It's a shame because we had so many men/women of quality in our ranks; ie only the best lords, knights and dames.

Luxon's says previous business delegations were "C-list".

In contrast to his high calibre team which has a dame on board (!), Air NZ ceo and the fonterra senior leadership team.

Seems pretty accurate description to me

Lets hope they do the talking.. can't afford to have the success of the mission depend on luxon's warm character and charm.
I look forward to the list of tangible results from this business minded PM.

Even Charles doesn’t want to set foot in NZ right now!

QE2 was 76yo when she last visited NZ (in good health). KC3 is 75yo.

An excellent summary of why NZ is well & truly stuffed and why any youngster with drive, ambition and intelligence who wants to get ahead in life should head over to Australia st the first opportunity.
Advise your children and grandchildren not to be the last person with intelligence & drive to leave NZ. By then, it will be too late to leave Aotearoa, the land of parasites, losers and beneficiaries.

This is unfortunately so true and the crux of our "problem"
Look no further than the green rabble, even the likes of the next potential labour leader Kieran McAnulty. He cant even win his seat but the list sends him back to power. The system is broken.
Random half-whits with no mandate from the voting public, our parliamentary system is literally a circus.
Just look at Germany for the evidence.

The old FPP system is used in the UK. Just look at the awful (Johnson, Truss, Sunak) PMs they have had based on a landslide majority of seats for the Conservatives, but only about 44% of the popular vote.
