COLLAB: Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has joined forces with New Zealand First and said he is open to adopting some of their “anti-woke” ideas.

Luxon said he had tasked minister Judith Collins with overhauling the Public Service Act to ensure it was a “meritocracy”.

He said he would look at New Zealand First’s bill to see whether any of the proposals could be incorporated into the refresh.
