Christopher Luxon: Prime Minister and National Party Leader on party's fiscal plan, election campaign so far and fuel prices

Were you tempted over the weekend to rip the cover off the 300 horsepower motor on

Mark Mitchell's boat? Well, it's actually, yeah, Mark Mitchell and Darren Shields, we went out spearfishing it.

That's why I got a bit sunburned, actually.

I put the sunscreen on in the morning, went out spearfishing for two hours in the morning before we did this announcement on the Hauraki Gulf.

but um oh it's great out there because i've done a lot of fishing from the surface but i actually hadn't been spearfishing below and so when you get down and see what's like underneath it's quite so

you dived yeah dive with this with three shots with a

spear gun spear gun what sort of

fish did you get

uh perori did you really were you

aiming for them or did they just happen to be going past these

sound like so incredulous that i sort of like

i just don't see were you like in a wetsuit i was in a

full body wetsuit i can show you photographic evidence if you want to see i don't want to see that i don't want to see that something i mean it's quite a sight to behold when you say i didn't Mitchell, Mia, McClay, and Tama Potaka.

Who else

Watts, Simon Watts and Grant McCullum were sort of out there.

All underwater? Yep, yep, all underwater, yep.

I was the

I'd watch all his videos on YouTube and stuff over the years, so it was pretty good.

Okay,

so you went spearfishing before you...

I want to see

your visual image of it, because I just think it could be quite a nightmare for you.

I didn't know that
