Photo: RNZThe Prime Minister has told Newstalk ZB none of his Cabinet colleagues have told him to reconsider his future, saying "all of them" back him. Luxon told Newstalk ZB on Friday he was "absolutely not" considering standing down, saying he had the skills to lead the National Party and the country. Luxon said he has "not thought about" what polling level would be the threshold for him to step down as Prime Minister. "I have the full support of my team and my caucus." The poll came at the end of a week where Luxon struggled to communicate clearly on the US-Iran conflict.
