Finance Minister clarifies Luxon's ‘customers’ reference following latest interview

The Finance Minister says Chris Luxon's description of voters in a recent sit-down interview was a 'slip of the tongue' as part of his corporate background.

In a new episode of 30 with Guyon Espiner, the Prime Minister referred to voters as 'customers' - and defended claims that he was out of touch with New Zealanders 

Nicola Willis says Luxon is focused on delivering results above all, and he knows New Zealanders are New Zealanders.

"I reckon New Zealand has bigger challenges than whether or not the Prime Minister describes people as customers."
