The Prime Minister says he wants to ensure there's trust and confidence in public institutions. 

Christopher Luxon's announced the Public Service Commission will investigate allegations of data misuse by Te Pāti Māori at Manurewa Marae. 

The Privacy Commissioner, Electoral Commission, Police, and Stats NZ are already investigating.  

Luxon told Mike Hosking that it's about having an all of Government response. 

He says he wants to know if the agencies did the right thing in managing conflicts and the data appropriately. 

Chinese Premier Li Qiang is visiting New Zealand this week, and the Prime Minister says he’ll agree to disagree during meetings. 

He says that New Zealand and China cooperate where we can, particularly on trade. 

But, he says, we'll never see eye-to-eye on every issue. 

Luxon says New Zealand and China have different political systems, cultures, and histories, and therefore have differences of opinion. 

But he says we also have differences with all other countries as well.
