🤖 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.

Nothing going on at all....nothing to see here.....nothing..... https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/politica...ill-slammed-as-dangerous-call-for-alarm-bells

And any number of other bits of factual information I've posted.

Honestly? I just hope that over the coming months and years of this open authoritarianism and fascism around the world, and through our very own Act and National, that the actions can be seen as they are - naked grabs for power and wealth, of the rich, by the rich for the rich.

Up to you guys really, always is, always will be, each to their own etc.
So you are hoping for a Labour, TPM and Green coalition I take it? Because if National lose, this is what we will get.
 
Both state owned. Not MSM, which you haven't defined.

Mike Hosking anyone?
Mike Hoskings yes I will admit is right wing, but did you hear him grilling Luxon the other day in his first interview back? Gave him absolute shit, when was the last time Forbes, or any of the state owned msm gave Hipkins shit ? Ffs even the Hikoi was lead by a person from TPM as a big recruitment drive, imagine the uproar if Seymour did that?
 
You are a conspiracist, devoid of any balance.
In your opinion.

Mine is, sure it's a conspiracy, but it's actually being enacted in front of your very eyes. So, I think quite balanced really, especially as it's factual

I’ve been told otherwise, by a surgeon that was directed by te whatu ora’s non medical staff, to reprioritise his surgeries based on their race-based rankings. Overriding his rankings, which were based on medical needs
Well he's giving you false information if he was indeed talking about the picture you posted.

It is literally the order it is categorised in if you have multiple ethnicities ticked. that's it, nothing more.

He wasn’t talking about that picture. But given his anecdotes, and the way the govt denied it happened, then accepted that it did, then Te Whatu Ora’s website, and hearing from others with first-hand experience of being treated quite differently in the health system when they were a higher-priority race than the other patients, I have drawn my own conclusions. The priorities of each racial group is consistent with the logical thread

After all, you can only manage what gets measured.

In any case, I think I’ll be rediscovering my racial roots

Good on you. I am only commenting on that photo that you are attempting to misrepresent.
 
I couldn’t even watch the game - went to turn on Sky for the first time in about a month & it said to contact the bastards because I wasn’t subscribed to the sports channel anymore!

But back on this thread - why are people giving this bloke oxygen, Luxon is a prized muppet but aside from his hopeless leadership there’s nothing overly sinister going on.
That sounds like cancel culture to me! From the right, who knew?
