1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: The American President is doing a live presser today to

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: talk about his war will head to Washington before six

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: on that. The Australian Prime Minister has just wrapped a

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: live address to the nation on the oil shock, and

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: here our prime minister is making his own announcement about

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: a cabinet reshuffle. It's a bit of an odd time

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: to do it, if you're honest, but he does have

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: Letty and Collins leaving, so had to do it at

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: some point. I suppose the day before Easter Friday means

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: he wants to probably spray and walk away for the weekend.

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: The good news is there is plenty of talent to

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: promote the likes of James Meager Chris Penk, which is

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: in contrast to the opposition, where the pool is rather shallow.

14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: Water comes up to your ankles, doesn't it. For Luxon,

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: getting the right team around him is not just important

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: for running the country, it's his entire election strategy. His

17
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: pitch to voters is basically that he's the HR Department.

18
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: He prides himself on putting the right man or woman

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: in the right job. The fact he's doing it today

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: also suggests that he's not listening to the press gallery,

21
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: which is no bad thing, who criticized him for opening

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: Christ's new stadium. While Nikola Willis was left to front

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: oil crisis stand ups and presses in Wellington, He's doing

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: other stuff. Is luxon like reshuffles, Thank you very much.

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: In the stark contrast to leaders of other countries, we

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: like to compare ourselves to For more from Early Edition
