🤖 AI Summary

📝 Summary:

The thread centers on New Zealand's upcoming election, primarily debating the economic management and policy differences between the center-left Labour government and center-right National/ACT opposition. Key criticisms target Labour's fiscal stewardship, citing ballooning government expenditure #7#272, housing unaffordability, and unfulfilled promises like KiwiBuild and dental care expansion #16#12. A user #7 highlighted Labour's annual 9% spending growth versus 1.5% under previous governments, arguing this fueled inflation. National's tax-cut policy faced scrutiny over funding gaps and legality, with user #215 questioning Luxon's reliance on "trust me" assurances.
Leadership competence emerged as a critical theme, particularly in later posts. Luxon drew heavy criticism after a contentious interview where he struggled to defend policy details #194#199#211, while Willis faced backlash for her economic credentials. Hipkins garnered fleeting praise for articulation but was ultimately seen as representing poor governmental outcomes #45#119. A trusted user #308 presented expert economic analysis contradicting Treasury optimism. Infrastructure issues—like Wellington's water crisis and the dental school staffing shortage—were cited as examples of systemic mismanagement #235#12. Notable policy debates included road-user charges for EVs #220, immigration impacts on rents #299, and coalition scenarios involving NZ First #182#258. Early fringe discussions on candidates' rugby allegiances gave way to substantive policy critiques, culminating in grim Treasury forecasts discussed in posts #271#304#308. User #168 also revealed concerns about Labour rushing regulatory changes to entrench policies pre-election.

Grievance is demanding the other party to an agreement honour it? No. Grievance is bitching and crying when you're asked to honour an agreement.
Uhm yes in legal terms that's precisely what a grievance is. To someone who seems to be a strident support of the Treaty ideals, I would have thought you would place very careful consideration on the meanings of words.
 
Theres a lot more irrational chat in this very thread with all the commenting while exhibiting a pretty shocking understanding of any detail of the treaty.
For how forthright the views are it's pretty cringe.

Naturally people are not going to trust a government that allow lobby groups to literally write government policy for them

You are aware of what Hobson's Pledge is? and how antagonistic that is to Maoridom?
Just because people dont agree with you doesnt mean they are ignorant of anything. Anyone between 30-50 probably spent 20 years of schooling learning about the Treaty. I know all about the breaches and grievances and who signed what and still hold the view I do.

What exactly is your view?
 
You're literally doing everything you've accused me of with this post.
I agree, he does. However I don't think he was referring to you. Perhaps a good example in that sometimes you find that what's written and what's meant aren't necessarily the same thing.

Note: I gave you a thumbs up rather than a laugh. Just mixing it up a bit
