COALITION TALKS DRAG
Christopher Luxon is gearing up for yet another round of negotiations today, as he and his would-be coalition partners continue to spar over the last few details.
The incoming Prime Minister says there are just three issues left to negotiate ... and he’s confident he can find agreement with Act and New Zealand First.
He says all parties have differences of opinion on some matters, and there are trade-offs needed between all of them.
But Luxon won’t say what those last three sticking points are, other than to say they’re all committed to trying to resolve those issues.
