🤖 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.

Standing aside the definition please give me your interpretation of the constitution as it relates to the leadership
It’s a woman and anyone else. Plus one needs to be māori. They must have 2 co leaders.

Both requirements are covered by Davidson so anyone (Chloe) would fit the second position.

Don’t know how the public would react to 2 females but they don’t seem to have a strong male candidate. Chloe step on up!

I reckon Chloe will be a vote grabber for the youth, Shaw was an effective and pragmatic operator but has the personality of Mr Bean let's face it. Whether it's a good thing for the country ultimately is a different question. Marama is too divisive for them to get very far with the general electorate anyway.
 
Never heard of the guy but checking up he seems a professional activist and protestor.

Chloe’s popular because she promotes a positive vision instead of being another whinging handbrake about everything.
I remember he was a Springbok tour protester, must have been a kid though. No shame in that, he was on the right side of history. If no one whinged they'd still have apartheid.

From wikipaedia:

He was the activist in residence at Massey University.

Tuiono attended the protests at the anti-Springbok tour protests in 1981.
[SUP] Prior to entering parliament, he organised protests for subjects such as GCSB laws, the TPPA,and support for Australian Aboriginal rights.[/SUP]

[SUP]Is there an activist in residence title at university or is that a wikipaedia piss take?[/SUP]

Does that mean he got paid for it? Has he ever had a real job? Starting to go off this guy. Doubt it's true though.

Probably some far right ACT-ivist from Atlas Network edited his Wiki


...anything to confess?
 

Going to be interesting how becoming a police officer is going to be made an attractive career path by this government. They’ve been quiet on how they propose to address the visible gang patches they mentioned there would be a crackdown on and adding a potential confrontation for officers for a person to remove a vest might not attract many?

Even Winnie this morning on TV said recruitment is not easy especially with the heavy recruitment campaigns be waged by Australian Police!!
WTF !! This has be going on for a few years now.
 

Interesting the not aware line. Usually means it’s exactly what’s going on but the leader plays dumb to ever knowing about it. Media have latched onto this and would expect much more digging to be done.
