A non-story
So what - doesn't Hipkins have any staff?
Does he expect to be waited on by the government.
And yet he judges the approach from the PM as not being serious, what?
Get a life Mr Hipkins.

To be fair, if the situation is as reported by Stuff;
https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360839142/hipkins-read-letter-luxon-after-it-was-made-public
Then the letter was made public about half an hour after Hipkins
office got it. How the hell Luxon expected a favourable response to
allowing offshore oil and gas exploration - the exact opposite of
Labour's policy going into the 2023 election, baffles me.
Sending a letter to Hipkins like this seems no more than an amateur
attempt to snooker Hipkins and Labour. If Luxon was genuine he would
have waited at least a day for Hipkins to respond before making it
public. That is what any leader with an gram of political judgment in
this situation would do. What Luxon did was attempt to snooker
Hipkins on their past (but not necessarily current) policy.
No wonder Hipkins thought Luxon was not serious. Luxon is
demonstrating again his lack of political judgment and my bet is the
Winston is laughing at him behind his back.
A Labour/Greens/Maori Party coalition should not be electable. Luxon' stupidity is making them seem more electable.

change it back again" approach is not going to sit well anywhere.
The letter would have provided some clarity. The voters could take this into >consideration, the mainifestos would be written with this in mind.
Writing the letter was the right thing to do, but the timing of it is a >classic blunder. No there will be a great media storm over the letter but >very little of the contents itself.
It is a pity because the matter of energy supply and security is something >which needs to ne debated.

Luxon was a useless moron before he was voted in, and he'll be a
useless moron after he's voted out again. Same with the "Fianance
Minister" who knows absolutely nothing about finance. :-\

Your evaluations are fair, but ,interestingly, it seems to be a case
where "useless" is actually useful. The left-wing parties are so
appalling that anything that keeps them out is useful, even if it is a useless thing doing it. Luxon is certainly anodyne. The Stupid Party
is evolving its stupidity, but the Evil Party remains starkly evil.
You know the contry is in deep septic tank when the only member of parliament who seems to be showing any remote sign of intelligence and common sense is Winston Peters. :-\
