🤖 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.

Actually you dont, you need to incentivize domestic capability or you lose your ability to be self sustainable. Has allowing mass immigration for these roles lowered their critical nature?

We should be incentivising our people to train in these roles. What do you mean "has mass immigration lowered their critical nature"? They'll always be critical roles someone has to fill.

It’s whackamole lawmaking

The government, and police, should just be better focused on enforcing / punishing antisocial behaviour, of which the nazi salute is an example of

As someone with some Jewish heritage I'm not offended by mongers chanting seig heil, because they do it purely to be as antisocial and offensive as possible without any nazi ideology or intent, and probably with no knowledge of the history, cheeky fullas.
Disgrace to the criminal fraternity, Ashkenazi and nazis alike, get Mossad onto them.

Up until a few years ago I would have agreed with you. Not anymore, they are very, very aware of the ideology and intent. They read mien kampf and listen to Hitlers translated speeches. Jeez they are even crowd sourcing Holocaust revision.
 
I know councils are under a lot of scrutiny but sometimes get the feeling they can't win either.

Criticised for not accomodating the disabled on one project and then criticised for the cost on another which includes a ramp for the disabled that is being questioned if it is needed
