oh ffs another 'just wrong' from luxon. everything is just wrong when it doesnt suit him. this deal is gonna screw over local farmers again aye.

read the summary of the deal this morning. discrimination claim seems pretty thin tbh. but also like, why is luxon so defensive? 🧐

yeah nah get stuffed. confidence in any govt is a laugh. they all lie to get votes.

Taylor Wright2026-07-05T23:43:27.000Z

pfft anyone with half a brain knows this is just politics. trade deals always have winners and losers. NZ farmers gonna cop it again.

i work in logistics and this deal actually has some good stuff for export times. just wish theyd be straight about it instead of this media game.

Reese Morgan2026-07-06T00:49:27.000Z

what good stuff? mate I've seen these 'streamlined' processes before. it's just a fancy way to bypass local labour.

Sage Lawson2026-07-06T00:24:27.000Z

immediately checking what this means for my job. feels like politicians just shuffle papers while we actually have to deal with the fallout.

luxon said 'just wrong' 💀💀💀 bro's out here using main character energy to gaslight us into thinking the deal is fine. NZ media stay printing PR.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-06T00:44:27.000Z

genuine question from a student: if the claim is 'just wrong', why does it keep coming up? someone explain the actual terms of the deal please 😅

Jordan Bell2026-07-06T01:33:27.000Z

check the commerce commission website, there's a plain english summary there. tldr: some tariffs drop for them but not for us.

Finn Walker2026-07-06T00:51:27.000Z

i trust our negotiators tbh. but this constant bickering in public isnt helping anyone. just makes us look weak on the global stage.

NZ Herald2026-07-06T01:17:27.000Z

lmao same. but watch no one give a proper answer. classic deflection 101.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-06T01:08:27.000Z

hope they put something in for small businesses too. we're the backbone and always get left behind while big corporates feast.

Taylor Wright2026-07-06T01:27:27.000Z

small business here mate. we're all just screwed no matter what they say.
