Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is speaking from Parliament after his weekly meeting with Cabinet.
Last week was a busy one in politics, with road-user charges foreshadowed for all light vehicles to replace petrol tax and criticism of the Government over unemployment figures.
This afternoon, Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced the Government was weighing up its position on the recognition of Palestine as a state.
At the weekend, Luxon also met with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Queenstown. The two leaders spoke about “geopolitical tensions, issues of trade and economic relationships, and conflict in the world”, Albanese said.
