Luxon’s only social media posts this year have been to wish the country a happy new year, and a video from December’s press conference announcing that free trade negotiations with India had concluded.
Asked by RNZ whether Luxon was back at work, what he was doing, and where he was working from, a spokesperson said the Prime Minister was in Auckland working from home, planning for the year ahead.
Parliament will resume sitting on January 27. It will sit for one week before breaking for a week-long recess, which will include Waitangi Day.
Before Parliament resumes, Luxon will deliver a State of the Nation speech, and National’s caucus will meet for its annual retreat.
While it is possible Luxon will announce the election date at one of those events, a Cabinet reshuffle is not expected.
