Christopher Luxon serves up burgers and takes on the benefit

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays

Christopher Luxon is taking a break from serving up policies today, to serve up burgers. He's going back to his first ever job, working a shift at Merivale McDonalds in response to the current low employment figures and worker shortages. New Zealand's unemployment rate is at 3.2 percent, with 50-thousand people on work benefits. The National party leader told Mike Hosking that the importance of a job is that it provides a sense of dignity. Luxon says National will cut benefits to those who are capable, but aren't actively seeking work. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
