🤖 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.

You are completely missing my point.
No I’m not at all, you might be missing mine. Right through a time where budgets have been affected by middle to lower incomes who can least afford it, things have been subsidised, sometimes to the detriment like roads in poor condition because taxes are left off petrol, but it’s in order to subsidise lower incomes in a tough economic climate. With all the extra revenue through the likes of scrapping the clean car subsidy as just one amongst many being scrapped, this to me seems like an area where continued support could be committed for multiple reasons I’ve stated in multiple posts.
 
I’m not arguing that. Whatever the real cost is though, needs to be paid for under user pays?

Real efficiencies will be if technology delivers driverless public transport. Real lower cost for users rather than hiding the true cost through subsidies.
lol right wingers who are against publicly funded public transport crack me up. Guess what’s cheaper to reduce congestion; pt or more roads?

Guess what happens when everyone else takes the bus but you?
 
yeah agreed!
and so strange there’s no word from her herself yet either. i’d want to put it to bed the second i arrived back in the country if i were in that situation.
Exactly. I have been thinking there's a very strange outcome on the way.
Don't really give a F one way or the other but strange 🤔
 
What I fucking hate is this drip feeding that is a pattern of those dirty politics fuckers.
Didn’t I say this was how it was going to happen this way…

She’s gone burger. It will keep coming out until she resigns. Next will be footage from the stores if she doesn’t jump.

Honestly, who needs entitled MP’s stealing from shops!
