Christopher Luxon joined Kerre Woodham for an hour of talkback, taking questions from listeners and delving into their plans for the upcoming months. 

The Prime Minister says our housing development has been running like it's 1975.  

The Housing Minister is today announcing planning changes agreed by Cabinet in an effort to address the housing crisis. 

It will reform council powers on urban boundaries, liberalise planning, and require councils to plan for 30-years of growth. 

Christopher Luxon told Kerre Woodham that he recently opened a great build-to rent-development in Auckland's Sylvia Park.  

He says we've ended up in a crisis because we haven't evolved laws to unlock those kinds of developments, or to encourage investment in build to rent programmes. 

With politics heating up all over the world, Luxon is keeping his thoughts about major overseas elections to himself.  

Democrat US President Joe Biden and former Republican President Donald Trump are facing off again on the 2024 election campaign trail.  

Meanwhile, people vote today in the UK on whether to support Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservatives or flip to Labour and Keir Starmer.  

Luxon told Kerre he can work with either Biden or Trump.  

He says it's his job to advance New Zealand's interests, and he will do the same in the UK with Sunak or Starmer.
