🤖 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.

Look I wasn’t being serious, however when I see the school kids protesting about climate change I do wonder why they aren’t at school.
Hey, if you have the same attitude toward the Groundswell farmers' protest, the School Strike for Climate, and the 2015 TPPA protests, then more power to you. I just feel like I mostly hear those kinds of criticisms when it comes to protests with a majority Māori representation. That said, I recognize I have my own selective biases, so I’m asking the question rather than making any kind of accusation.
 
How about this for an off-season game, we all post our DNA results on here so we can profile each other's agendas and examine our prejudices, can you organise it @Wrighty
I'll happily organize it, but I feel like we also need credit card numbers (including the CVV), full names, and addresses to better understand our socioeconomic factors. Feel free to PM me those details anytime, people 😉. All for the sake of good discussion and maintaining forum decorum, of course.
