🤖 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.

TBF Mr B. there's two sides to this sort of stuff which I have no time for either.
You only need to look back a few years ago to see what I mean
Not confined to just one side of the political spectrum
I was only taking the piss. What actually annoys me is people accusing others of misogyny when they dare question the capabilities of a female. It’s bullshit. There was one fuck knuckle who did it all the time on here a while back when Jacinda was in the depths of her incompetence. Same bloke threw racism & bullying at anyone who dared challenge him on anything & then got banned for some awful posts. Hypocrite of the highest order.

Thanks Mr B.
 
Great work Greens. Hit those oligarchs where it hurts.

Why is the govt entitled to this money?

Tax has already been paid when the money is earned, what right does a govt have to steal tax paid wealth/ inheritance etc.

Fundamentally I believe, as free citizens our money is our own - the greens seem to think they have a right to as much money as they want from us serfs.

Simple communism.

You really should move to America and help them resurrect their manufacturing base.
 
Manufacture a crisis, run it into the ground, sell it off, lie about it, enrich the rich and put us all at risk and in debt with substandard healthcare

Quite frankly, I think the healthcare in my experience is not too bad here. I've been in the public system and waited the obligatory 90 days (back then) but then used my health insurance to get in quicker privately. The next time I had surgery (was retired then and dropped the insurance) it was relatively serious and the state sent me to the same private hospital with the same surgeon. Only a week after diagnosis.
These guys have the ability to float between employers (state/private) depending on what they want to earn and where they want to operate.

I recall the nursing manager telling me the biggest problem they faced was the amount of elective surgery being called for. I can't remember the percentage versus life threatening but but it was high. I notice the articles don't use the words life-threatening, just common old surgery.

Gotta have those taxpayer funded bariatric surgeries.
