Are Luxon & Co now doomed to liquidation?\n\nGrant Duncan\n\n * 🌍 The global energy crisis is blamed on conflict involving Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iran, with disruption in the Strait of Hormuz impacting global trade and energy supplies.\n * ⚠️ Iran has resisted threats from Trump and restricted shipping routes, though some countries have negotiated partial access to ease the situation.\n * 🔥 The crisis is highly damaging for New Zealand’s government under Christopher Luxon, with falling poll numbers and worsening economic conditions.\n * 📉 Rising cost of living, healthcare pressures, and declining economic forecasts are intensifying ahead of the November election.\n * 📊 Economic outlook is deteriorating: growth forecasts have dropped, inflation is expected to rise, and unemployment may increase, creating a “stagflation”-like scenario.\n * 🛢️ Comparisons are drawn to the 1973 oil shock, a turning point that led to long-term economic decline in New Zealand.\n * 📉 New Zealand’s productivity issues are described as chronic, with decades of underperformance and no clear plan from major parties to reverse the trend.\n * 🏛️ All major political parties agree change is needed but lack solutions capable of addressing a crisis of this scale, leaving the government largely in damage-control mode.\n * 🗳️ Historical parallels suggest crises can trigger dramatic political shifts, as seen when Robert Muldoon defeated Bill Rowling after Norman Kirk’s death.\n * 🔄 A modern analogy suggests a possible populist surge, with Winston Peters potentially capitalising on instability.\n * 🧨 The crisis is expected to reshape the election, but any change in government is unlikely to significantly improve living standards due to global economic pressures.\n * 💸 Labour and the Greens may propose spending that the weakened economy cannot sustain, while no party offers a convincing long-term productivity solution.\n * 🔮 March is framed as a turning point in the election race, with Luxon’s political survival now more uncertain due to forces beyond his control.\n * 🕊️ Calls for de-escalation contrast with increasingly extreme rhetoric from Trump, raising concerns about global stability and leadership.\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
