On today’s episode, we dive into the recent political drama as Christopher Luxon offers a surprising invitation to Labour’s Chris Hipkins: support oil and gas exploration again to help tackle New Zealand’s energy crisis. After Labour banned oil and gas under Jacinda Ardern’s government, Luxon is pushing to lift the ban—but Hipkins has firmly rejected the idea.Is Luxon trying to bind Hipkins politically, or is this a serious attempt to find common ground on energy policy? I break down why Hipkins’ outright refusal feels more like political theater than pragmatic leadership, and why Luxon’s move, despite some clumsy timing, signals a shift towards addressing the real-world energy challenges we face.
