🤖 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.

Theres literally not one question in 6am post.
You still on about that?

It was a mild post. No emotionally charge wording. Just raising a potential outcome post election that’s a rumour going round. It was a single post that was put out and then forgotten about by me 🤷‍♂️

I don’t see what the problem is?
 
Human rights are a rule of law. What are you on about?
I agree. So you support the Wellington protests?

Peters was trespassed from parliament for attending due to it being illegal with all media, politicians and public banned from protesting.

… don’t really want to open that can of worms again 🤣

The problem was you were quoting stupid rumours that you read god knows where, wanking on about another media conspiracy all the while demonstrating you don't really understand MMP.
 
Nurse banned for a year for spreading misinformation, with an aggravating factor being they are a respected member of their community. Spreading misinformation is professional misconduct.

Wonder what Hipkins will get for spreading misinformation that “National want to cut benefits” last night. False statement as benefits will go up every year under National by the rate of inflation.

I feel sorry for the poor beneficiaries being fed misinformation that could really freak them out. Very negative campaign of deliberate lies.

In relative terms benefits will be reduced

You can’t have a policy you are investing in and label the opposition who aren’t matching it as cutting it when they are still increasing it but by a different amount. Prior to Labour benefits were always tied to inflation as National is going back to.

By that warped logic Labour is cutting doctors because they are not matching the increase in doctors National are proposing (even though Labour aren’t decreasing them). No decrease - relative terms or not.

Misinformation. Beneficiaries will be freaking out being told their benefits will be cut - because it’s not true and deliberately been said to be divisive and scare them.

I dunno, shall we ban Luxon for spreading misinformation...

That a family would get $250 in tax relief?
Or in the debate that he only spends $60 on food?
Or that Labour sacked 5 minister?
Or that all health outcomes have gone backwards
Or that National invented "by māori, for māori"

The change in the indexing of benefits does mean a tangible difference to those on long term benefits

Just like the change in interest deductibility will have a tangible difference to the wallets of landlords and the property market.

Pretty twisted way for a party to campaign given the current situation in NZ - probably why the Nat's have made such a mess of an election that was pretty much unloseable not long ago.

All this weak media conspiracy, misinformation ranting is a cop out - you are the one posting stupid rumours you read from some nut job's you follow on social media.
