Hipkins Lacks Empathy

The problem with PM Chris Hipkins is he has difficulties being comfortable around strangers, talking small talk and being relatable. This assessment came from a leading political commentator.

In contrast National Party leader, Chris Luxon has no issues in this regard and is more along the lines in acting personable as a John Key or Jacinda Ardern.

I first saw Hipkins in person some 12 years ago just before a general election when he brushed past me and my Corgi, Taylor when we were fortnightly meet-the-residents visitors at the Heretaunga Retirement & Rest Home.
He was campaigning but ignored me and Taylor as if we were both not potential voters and it was an everyday thing to see a Corgi in the lounge of such a place.

Whilst Hipkins won't be mainly responsible for Labour losing quiet soundly in the 2023 elections, his awkwardness and inability to resonate with people individually is a handicap.

Huge crowds of commuters are stuck in Wellington train station as emergency services respond to an incident on the Hutt Valley Line. As of 5pm, hundreds of people are queuing at the station.

According to police, the incident was reported around 3.45pm.

Those waiting were told a "police incident" had closed the line and that replacement buses would be provided, although no timeframe was given.

All services on the Hutt Valley Line, between Wellington and Taitā, have been suspended, according to Metlink.

“Bus replacement services are incredibly limited.

“Please expect delays to your travel and seek other transport where possible.”
