A spokesperson for Luxon said the prime minister had no meetings planned with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.
"We do not consider the cancellation of i-Rex to have an impact [on either the trip or the wider relationship]."
Arrogant amateurs, NZ's reputation is at risk.
What a fucking joke.
@chrisluxonmp in South Korea NOT addressing an unprecedented embarrassment
While dignitaries arrive from Thailand for the Kingi Tuheitia tangihanga.
Everyone in the world is laughing at you, Chris.
But hey, you do you.
Or make a TikTok...
NZ citizens will have to pay for Willis, her inexperience, petulance and dumb ass determination to play politics with NZ’s infrastructure. https://t.co/QPDDjtL6xE
Of course mycockskin sidestepping nicola Willis 2 txts as not newsworthy but had it been a labour or greens mp it would be feral meltdown of the unhinged.
Hello @President_KR
Warm greetings from New Zealand
We, the voters (who didn’t vote for Christopher Luxon’s Coalition govt) would like to apologise for the embarrassing, incompetent and disastrous cancellation of the Interislander ferry contract.
Please ask him why he did it.
I just put it to you, visiting a country & having to avoid speaking to your hosts about how you pulled out of a $2 billion contract with them by text isn't ideal. But the TikTok scenes are awesome & it sure beats having to go to the Maori King's funeral.

I dont think we can underestimate what a massive, bumbling, incompetent fool of a minister Nicola Willis is. This decision will blight NZ’s future for decades to come. Willis reveals almost criminal levels of incompetence and stupidity. And she is still a minister!
@ClintVSmith Just saw Luxon on TV1 standing in the demilitarised zone with HIS HANDS IN HIS POCKETS while facing the soldiers who were all standing to attention.
Moving around Brisbane today, with 4 walking/cycling bridges over the river, and hundreds of people using them, after catching the 50c train from the GC. Heaps of Kiwis.
@SimeonBrownMP's 'car only' regime is as obsolete as women not being allowed to leave the kitchen.
HDPA throwing a tantrum over a’secret’ deal between watercare & iwi. $1 million per year for 20 years so Auckland can take extra water from the Waikato. That’s 60 cents per person per year 🙄 it’s not about the money, is it ? But her rabid racist fans are outraged.
Most sane level headed people would agree with Maritime spokesperson's sentiment. A $billion is a lot to just throw away on an ideological whim.
Maritime Union 'disgusted and angry' ferry talks not on Christopher Luxon's agenda during South Korea trip https://t.co/CCw66xt5NN
One of the most reckless and stupid decisions made by a NZ Govt. Willis threw away a $billion and created a chasm in our transport infrastructure. Korea ferry cancellation talks were two texts sent within an hour of announcement https://t.co/5vEI53zo5O
