🤖 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.

Lame school yard bullying frank. Please provide proof of crimes including charges, otherwise you're just another far right homophobic moron repeating disinformation
what disinformation is there? an early childhood minister posted a photo to social media with their toddler son and a reference to boy pussy.

you just go in swinging haymakers to protect anything left.
if that was someone from the act party, you’d be screeching from the rooftops.

it’s not something to be protected, doyle should be made to address it, not hide away. there’s plenty of security at parliament, otherwise that weasel seymour would have been beaten to death already.

and that swarbrick should be ashamed of herself for gaslighting the public and trying to make it about windbag peters.

I'm not protecting anyone left. I agree with quite a bit of what you and a few others have said around the inappropriateness and presentation of what was in his instagram account and also how poorly the greens have handled the vetting side.

What I object to is a lynch mob mentality shouting paedophilia which is, until something factual emerges (which it hasn't), base slander and lies.

Frank being obnoxious is as Frank does, and me calling him on it is what I'll do.

The origins of the social media posts are clearly from those on the right of the spectrum and have since been amplified immensely, so let's not pretend the motives were pure either.

what would be your thoughts if i had your toddler daughter on my lap, legs open, and put a photo on social media saying pussy galore?
Again, please show the actual posts.



If actual criminality is established then absolutely, prosecute to the full extent.

But really, I doubt many posters on here have any contextual knowledge at all of a culture that sits outside of their norm, and as a result of the extreme culture wars being stirred up by the far right makes them an easy target.

Good to hear re: your culture Marv.

I went back and had a look.

As I've stated, given the origins on this forum of the photos that i've seen, Boston Boy, I'll wait for some facts.
