Reviewing this kind of policy change is literally the point of the Children's Commissioner. Not sending them this document when they specifically asked to be included is more than just an oversight. It reeks of a deliberate attempt to avoid the normal level of scrutiny.
Luxon caught in a lie after saying he "hadn't been briefed" on the use of force in boot camps, despite Cabinet (which he is the head of) already agreeing to it.

Everything we think we have will collapse as the planet destabilises. Kings and Queens, Prime Ministers and Presidents, Art galleries and museums, film, theatre and music. When food production collapses it's game over. Even now we refuse to act on what we know is approaching https://t.co/QjbD8MGNvk
Customer Reviews of @chrisluxonmp as PM, and his 'frikken' outcomes. 🧵🧵🧵
Luxon called us 'customers'; he justified that by saying that the Corporate World is 'where he has come from', hence his language choices.
