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.

The state is the Jungian devouring mother/father archetype, is that what you're sayingThe devouring mother. We are so determined to protect everyone, that we will literally kill them.
We will burn western civilisation to the ground before we see people accountable for their actions.
Look around. No one is accountable for anything. Wants are labelled as necessities. Safety over freedom.The state is the Jungian devouring mother/father archetype, is that what you're saying
One man's freedom's another man's lawless anarchy. I quite like the idea of safety and living a long life. Anyway, Jung was a nutbar who believed in the spirit world, I don't trust him.Look around. No one is accountable for anything. Wants are labelled as necessities. Safety over freedom.
So why willingly destroy the entire system so a handful of people can pretend life is fair for a couple of decades? Will your kids get to enjoy the same? What about your grandkids? Not a concern for commies of course, they hate babies.I quite like the idea of safety and living a long life.

5% is those actively looking, actual unemployment is much higherYeah but how many of them are there really, 5%? Don't think focusing on that is solving the problem, there are checks and sanctions now anyway for that small cache of chronic malingerers.

Can still recall making comment of page 666 and that was before the Turks run off with the blueprint to save the world. Would have bern the ideal page for the death of Ozzy Osbourne, but I guess 911 is accurate from an American perspectiveThis is page 911 of the politics thread
Us and them. The haves and have nots. And a divided society.What's the answer to 50% of voters getting their primary income from taxes then sarge
I remember the blueprint now, it was the Logan's Run solution. Rick was right, when you turn 42, Frank White's unit shoots you in a pit. Pretty sure Frank came up with it.Can still recall making comment of page 666 and that was before the Turks run off with the blueprint to save the world.

Pretty sure I recognised some of the posts from that era floating around online. They’re under daily jisms of the jizardI remember the blueprint now, it was the Logun's Run solution. Rick was right, when you turn 42, Frank White's unit shoots you in a pit. Pretty sure Frank came up with it.
Actually, we're quite lucky the Turks stole it.
We are by allowing it. Think about the voting implications. Once everyone is addicted to crack, who is going to vote to cut off the supply?What do you mean by destroy the entire system? Who's doing that
I don't see how 30 million people in a concentration camp run by a god-king is relevant to western society, unless you're suggesting some other god-kings are trying to turn us into that too. Is it Elon and Darth Peter?We are by allowing it. Think about the voting implications. Once everyone is addicted to crack, who is going to vote to cut off the supply?
You know who has 100% of people relying on the government for income? North Korea
You serious can’t be this obtuse? You are asking what the downside is of 100% of your population being 100% financially reliant on the state?I don't see how 30 million people in a concentration camp run by a god-king is relevant to western society, unless you're suggesting some other god-kings are trying to turn us into that too.
