Luxon Fires Self, Re-Hires Self as Consultant

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has terminated his current employment agreement and immediately re-hired himself on a consultancy basis, according to documents seen by The Satiriser.

The documents, released following an application under the Official You Wouldn’t Read About It Act, reveal the changes are the result of a recent restructuring decision by Mr Luxon. Under the terms of the restructuring, the role of Prime Minister will be disestablished and a new role of ‘CEO of New Zealand’ created.

The PM’s communications team explained the restructuring in a written reply to questions from The Satiriser.

‘Spending of taxpayers’ money must come down. The Government has moved boldly to rationalise the public service workforce in order to create savings, and in this case is leading by example. The disestablishment of the position of Prime Minister is the sort of blue sky thinking that will lead to a significant reduction in the public sector payroll.’
