🤖 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.

Me either now you mention it haha. Sticky's outraged at how Kyle Flannagan is being bullied, what a hypocrite.
Sticky’s just passionate, my favourite player of all time but geez he can lose the plot in a post match press conference! I liked the fact he stood up for Flanagan, he hasn’t been that bad this year, media just want to leverage off the nepotism narrative.

Agree there Brownstone, he still did more or less the same thing to that weak gutted dog though so I can't take his earnestness too seriously.
 
Peter Jackson has a crazy project to bring back the moa!

… and the greens don’t like it and say the money could be spent better elsewhere.

Do the Greens realise it’s not their money? It’s his. It’s not their place to decide how he spends it, it’s his. Their arrogance is breathtaking, they really believe that what’s yours is theirs and they know best. Anyone that votes greens is really a closet communist!

Go Peter Jackson, chase your dreams and don’t let the anti everything Greens hold you back!
