🤖 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.

Humour us and link to it.

It would be fascinating to see the dark corners of the internet you inhibit.
You’d be surprised to know I don’t follow any of the main people involved. Algos are algos though.

The one featuring pictures that Doyle had posted have been removed as they identified his partner and child. This is one of the “bullying” allegations.

When I come across it next, I’ll link you.
 
Doyle is not homosexual. He's using queer like teenage girls use queer. Its a performative allyship pin they wear to be part of the cool club.

He's s straight white man in a relationship with a straight white woman.
Frank aside from your normal performative macho bigotry, please provide some facts for once, and factual sources. E.g. actually talking to Benjamin Doyle.

Mate, them is wearing a pink shirt in the bottom picture so just because them is with a woman and child it doesn’t tell us anything.

We need facts only… only published academic articles are acceptable as fact on here 😉




Well actually I’ve supplied research papers before on here but sometimes black is still apparently white.

IMO, just as some Insta photos doesn't make Doyle a pedophile in the same way that chats between a Spokesperson for Children and some kids seen by their parents doesn't make Chris Bishop a groomer.... it does show them both to be idiots when it comes to social media though.

Montoya should have just called himself a they/ them over the Feldt incident and said it was just part of his culture and the NRL are bullying him…
 
COVID, combined with the internet, set us on this really weird path of socialital civil war.

We were pressured into self identifying as 'left' or 'right' and then given an arsenal of quips and stereotypes to be used as a way to pave over the cracks of poor leadership.

Don't forget the reality of our situation at the moment. Politicians use you to set their own bank accounts up; no matter what side of the coin they claim to be.
 
Different world that we live in compared to Bill Gates. He's decided that each of his kids will only receive less than 1% of his net worth in inheritance. But, don't feel sorry for them.... before an inheritance tax kicks in, each of them will be receiving over $300 million USD each. How will they survive?
 
In case you think the banks aren't passing on all the reductions in fixed term interest rates compared to the OCR, think again. Interest.co.nz have a series of charts which track the interest average interest charged by the banks (as at 5.00pm every Friday). The highest average for a two-year fixed term was 7.05% on 24 Nov. 2023, as of last week, the average for a two year fixed loan was 5.08%.... a drop of 1.97%. Over the same period, the OCR has gone from 5.5% (Nov. 2023) to 3.5% (yesterday's drop).... a drop of 2.0%.

Cunning trick with stats because the OCR has dropped 37% but the interest rates have only dropped 28%

I will always find a way to say the banks are ripping us off 🤣
