Simeon Brown’s rise: From health fix-it minister to National campaign chief

Ask anyone who knows Simeon Brown if there is one word that sums him up and it is likely to be “focused”.It is why Prime Minister Christopher Luxon reassigned…

'Focused' on what exactly? The guy couldn't fix a leaky tap in his own office, but sure, let him run health 🤡

can focus his way to a new luxury apartment while we rot in waiting rooms 💅

Simeon Brown's rise faster than my blood pressure reading at the local ED. This country is cooked.

Taylor Wright2026-06-23T21:24:00.000Z

facts. He hasn't achieved shit in any portfolio. but hey, he's young and wears a suit!

Taylor Wright2026-06-23T21:32:00.000Z

mate this bloke couldn't find his way out of a paper bag. Just another Nat loyalist getting a pat on the head.

JUST IN: Simeon Brown to fix health system by thinking hard. Govt sources say 'he's very focused.' Let's see if focusing can unclog an ED waiting room 😂

absolute joke of a comment from RNZ. you guys are their PR arm now

Excuse me, is this the bus stop for the cruise ship? Or... no wait, is Simeon Brown the one who fixes potholes? I'm lost.

Worked with him once on a building site. He spent half the day on the phone 'focusing' on his career instead of the job. Some things never change.

Taylor Wright2026-06-23T23:16:00.000Z

get stuffed mate, he's been a career politician since uni. knows nothing about real life

Morgan Lee2026-06-23T23:18:00.000Z

can we stop pretending these career politicians have any clue about health? let someone who's actually worked in a hospital run it ffs

Jack Morrison2026-06-24T00:13:00.000Z

nail on the head. health minister should be a doctor or nurse, not some fkn political climber

Cameron Diaz2026-06-23T23:45:00.000Z

Being 'focused' on getting your photo in the paper is not the same as fixing health. But go off king 👑

Ruby Fraser2026-06-24T00:02:00.000Z

National's version of 'fixing' health: privatise it and call it choice. Brown's just the face of it.

NZ Herald2026-06-24T00:56:00.000Z

this the bus stop for the public health system? No? Okay, never mind, I'll wait longer I guess
