🤖 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.

My eye opening moment from last night:

Seymour and the female ACT woman flanked by 2 security guards the whole night.

There have been serious threat against ACT…

We’ve never had that in our politics in NZ. Even the DPS we’re giving the main parties leaders a lot of space!
Jacinda Adern was threatened multiple times and is still at high risk because of her Black Rock UN world order plan.

I joke not, there are nutbars on this site that believe that shit.

Most divisive government ever, combined with people under increased financial and societal stresses has broken down the fabric of our society.

Farmer vs city
Rich vs poor
Business vs employees
Multiculturalism vs biculturalism
Rights vs responsibilities

Hopefully we can move on from the government picking winners to one that enables us all to succeed.
 
His new partner is a woman if that is what you are referring to.
I don't know, I just heard a nationally known journalist say "gay not gay partner" so read what you may into that.

Also according to Google's Bard, Chris Hipkins is openly gay.

Why I would feel sorry for him if he is gay and has come out that is a very difficult thing for him to do in his position.

He descries his wife as his best friend, so if he has a new squeeze that sounds interesting to say the least.

To me it doesn't matter what he is
