Analysis: Rob Campbell's linkedin Luxon comment

From Morning Report, 8:18 am on 28 February 2023

Rob Campbell's job as chair of Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand is on the line.

The top health boss has been on thin ice since letting loose on the business networking site LinkedIn describing National's Three Waters Policy as a thinly disguised dog-whistle on co-governance.

He went on to say: Christopher Luxon might be able to rescue his party from stupidity on climate change but rescuing this from a well he has dug himself might be harder. 

National wants an apology and  ACT wants Rob Campbell's head.

This morning Chris Hipkins told Morning Report he has broken the rules, but it's up to the ministers to deal with him.
