What a load of shit. Luxon acting like he actually gives a damn about the Pacific. Dude couldn't find it on a map.

Exactly. Clueless as always.

Ffs, we literally test missiles in Australia but when China does it it's 'incredibly unwelcome'. Make it make sense.

Kai Thompson2026-07-07T02:58:21.000Z

nah but still different cos they're our allies. China's not exactly transparent about their military.

Kai Thompson2026-07-07T02:26:21.000Z

yeah nah this is actually concerning. They didn't even warn the aviation authorities. That's reckless.

James O’Brien2026-07-07T02:36:21.000Z

Diplomacy is just a fancy word for begging at this point. What are we gonna do, send a strongly worded email?

Love how our PM waits till he's at Marsden Point with Willis photobombing to say something. Priorities.

Actually curious how international law works here. Is it legal to test missiles in someone else's backyard or nah?

Drew Parker2026-07-07T03:29:21.000Z

get stuffed mate. At least he said something unlike the last govt that just kissed up to everyone.

Noah Bennett2026-07-07T03:33:21.000Z

Lol any excuse for Luxon to look tough. Bet he googled 'South Pacific' after the press conference.
