🤖 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.

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest. If I see an antivaxxer / greenie / unionist / conspiracy theorist / wellness-influencer / nutritionist at a dinner party, I take a seat far enough away that I don't have to enter into a condescending conversation about how the've been enlightened, and any differing opinion from theirs is outdated and wrong

I can imagine if you add "politician" into that mix, you'd get the condescension on steroids = bullying

Oh yes that's right I forgot - all these things are the same antivaxxer / greenie / unionist / conspiracy theorist / wellness-influencer / nutritionist

Good to see that your people filters are finely tuned.

I was waiting outside the mall for my daughter and police came walking past with assault rifles. Then armed offfenders squad drove in with full armour on. Wondered what was going on!

They must have thought it could be a Sydney mall incident but just girls from my kids school.

Our kids friend was in the lift with the stabbers, still covered in blood. They didn’t know about the stabbing at that time. 😳
