Christopher Luxon sworn in as New Zealand prime minister, says priority is to improve economy

Christopher Luxon, leader of New Zealand's conservative coalition, was sworn in as prime minister. Luxon's top priority is to improve the economy. He plans to finalize a 100-day plan and hold his first Cabinet meeting. Luxon aims to deliver tax cuts, train more police officers, and cut government bureaucracy. His government also plans to repeal tobacco restrictions. Luxon said he needed to get a Treasury briefing on the state of the government's finances. Chris Hipkins, the previous prime minister, wishes Luxon well and plans to remain in Parliament as opposition leader.
