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.

Just like you being sanctimonious on countless topics you write screeds on solves nothing...And? normal people dont want to ride with stabby people on PT. Being sanctimonious about it wont solve it, and neither will holding hands and singing kumbaya
You have the ability to not engage in you own motor vehicle, not so lucky on PT, which is the entire point.More people die from road rage incidents than incidents on public transport so it's by the by.

Seems like Seymour agrees with you. Interesting that he cites the reason as it’s good to identify who the idiots are. That’s been many people’s view on a ban on gang patches
So you don't support any form of hate speech censorship?I don’t really care about Seymour’s view.
I just don’t believe the government should control what comes out of peoples mouth.
Or who they salute? AC/DC would be up in arms if they had a ban on those about to rockI don’t really care about Seymour’s view.
