Absolutely right Peter it was an entitlement and he should not have backed down. Was he claiming an allowance illegally … no. Luxon has to realise that he will be a left wing media target for some time to come and be strong enough to take it on the chin without flinching. He will win no respect by being a whimp and succumbing to pathetic issues such as this, Strong leaders have courage to face criticism and that quality is essential in any Politician elected to be Prime Minister!
