🤖 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.

Here's how the government are reducing emergency housing numbers - by not actually allowing anyone onto it

A lot more private rentals available, a lot more govt housing becoming available.

Emergency housing should be a last resort as it isn’t a good place to live as occupants (high crime, lack of support, social issues, drug use, etc)

Rotorua is 100% better without the explosion of emergency hotels and there aren’t (more) people living on the streets …
 
Indeed. I look forward to the equal coverage and lack of hypocrisy

i assume you mean tory whanau?
this is a completely different scenario and a total non event.

he owned it straight away and said he should have kept it to himself. plus everyone already knows he’s a bigot and a cunt.

she got shit hammered, abused staff then pulled the old “do you know who i am?” refused to obey rules and even laws about drinking on the street afterward, then denied any of it ever even happened over and over until the person released the video of it.

then she decided she had ADD and a drinking problem so it wasn’t her fault.

we wellingtonians found the hard way that she’s also a cunt.

haha, most of this city feels the same way.
i think we can all agree if it were a man who behaved the way she did then made the mess of a mayoralty she has, we’d all call him a cunt.

just because she’s female, it shouldn’t make her immune to criticism or accountablity for her failings.

What’s it all actually about?

Did he crash a car drunk, flew the scene and resist arrest or something relevant like that to be in the news?
