'I'm sick of it' - Luxon wants action on competition, RMA

If you could talk economic growth into existence, Christopher Luxon's NZ would top the OECD. Tim Murphy reports on the State of the Nation speech
The article from Newsroom discusses Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's frustration with the lack of progress on competition policy and Resource Management Act (RMA) reforms in New Zealand.

He highlighted the government's commitment to reducing bureaucratic hurdles that stifle business development and innovation. Luxon's comments come in the context of ongoing debates about how to effectively reform these areas to make New Zealand more competitive globally, with critics arguing that the government's approach might be too aggressive or not well thought out.
