Post by TonyPost by Rich80105NZ PM Luxon calls business leaders on Labour-led delegations as
?tagalongs? and ?C-List?.
There you are - that is another lie. He did not say that.

He was referring to the entire delegation., Rich was specifically
referring
to
business leaders. A typical political tactic by Rich.
I only said that because of what Luxon actually said - he referred to
business leaders, and in consequence so did Jason Walls the Newstalk
ZB journalist.
Post by TonyPost by David GoodwinThe business leaders in the delegations being referred to as C-List by
luxon?
Luxon seems to be considering the entire delegations C-List *because* of
the business leaders that were in them. I'll admit the audio is fairly
poor - Luxon isn't talking very loudly for whatever reason. But this is
"I felt a lot of our delegations ... the few that we did do in the last
six years compared to when I would go with Key on a few of them um had
just got very watered down to sort of the C-List really and this is why
I want the A-List being there and I want businesses that can do business
in Japan and have interests in Japan and its a key part of their
business strategy going forward, being on the trip not just um tagalongs
Let me repeat. I agree, and have already stated, that Luxon is referring to the
entire delegation.
Listen again - Luxon repeatedly referred to the Business delegation,
and also said that he wanted business people that could get immediate
results from their inclusion. Now you may think that he was referring
to the politicians (himself?) or to the public servants, or to the
journalists, but none of those are expected to secure business deals
while on the trip - just listen again, Tony; and you may then wish to
apologise.
Post by TonyRich only mentioned business leaders who make up only "part"
of the delegation. That ploy by Rich is a deliberate attempt to deceive and is
typical of him and other amateur political hacks.
I have mentioned before that my English tends to be precise, some might say
literal - well I am not going to change that, it is a strength and not a
weakness. Rich meant to deceive and seems to have achieved that with you, with
respect. I called him out and you fell for his deception, mayhap!
No deception - I cannot hear any implication that the politicians,
journalists or public servants on that trip were "C-listers" as you
imply.
You are lying still. The context is clear to all except political idiots like
you.
