Politics live: Incompetence not sabotage behind Health NZ issues, Christopher Luxon says

Christopher Luxon is playing down the Tax Payers Union's latest Curia political poll that shows both he and his coalition are losing support.

On Monday, Luxon said he was focused on Kiwis - not the polls, as Labour's Chris Hipkins overtook him as preferred Prime Minister.

The prime minister played down the latest results, saying polls were "bouncing around a lot".

Luxon said it was a "tough time for Kiwis" and the government's job was to focus on what New Zealanders want, and "that is all about us fixing the economy".
