Well …. that was a tasty Onion I just ate.
The opposition Labour party expressed its strong distaste, protesting the Government’s move by putting out a statement entirely in te reo. Luxon’s office said he couldn’t respond to Labour’s criticisms, as he was unable to read them.Labour leader Chris Hipkins, when asked to explain what his party’s statement said, drew a blank. “Uh… hm… well… uh…” he demurred, staring down at the printout in his hand.
Love it
This is a joke, right
Yes, satire ‘news’ site, hence being posted to The Onion.
As with all good satire, there’s a very tiny kernel of truth at the bottom of it.
Good news then. As a stupid American whenever I see some right-wing bullshit going down in NZ I think “AAAAaiiighhh! No! Not New Zealand!” and this article was a little to spot on for me to detect (until the end but still. Here the right-wing is so batshit insane anything’s possible).
