This is one of the most tone deaf things Luxon could say... The people complaning and active in politics probably can make their own kids lunches. But they see little sarah going without at the school and think "she deserves to be protected by a government she cannot yet participate in".

Sarah's parents arenot going to hear this. Sarahs parents are already struggling to hold down 2 part time jobs to ensure Sarah has a roof over her head.

Just because kids cannot vote National dosent mean you can not forgo the simple step of protecting them and feed them at least 1 good square meal a day.

All this because Luxon cannot see past the silver spoon in his own mouth

Yeah, there's a reasonable chunk of the population that are either working insane hours to keep their heads above water, or dropkicks that can't make their kids a sandwich.

He really isn't a natural politician.
