🤖 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.

Congrats to NZ on moving into the top 5 of child abuse rate in the OECD . Hard work moving from 7th to 5th. Might crack the top 3 on this trend.
We are already working toward the #1 ranking. Another murdered child delivered to Manukau Police Station this morning by someone known to her who has been charged with murder. Baby murdered in Hamilton a few days ago along with a sibling seriously wounded and their mother.
It will be the usual losers and the same worn out stories from their lawyers at trial.

Imagine if half the effort went into stopping people killing kids as it does into treaty politics.

It will be the same old tired neoliberal policies and austerity as the major underlying factors of the last 50 years as the generational foundation

So that only affects those that murder kids, what about the rest of us?
What about the decisions the individual makes, not their responsibility?
Keep blaming neoliberal politics , someone else's trauma and colonisation.
 
or imagine if there was effort put into equitable social outcomes within a long term vision of unity and community instead of the greed and entitlement we see today
Agree. When’s the māori party organising a hikoi about this. I would join in. māori are MIA being part of the solution.

55% of people in prison are māori. 61% of victims of crime are māori. māori are victimising māori.

It’s not up to the Pakeha’s to come up with all the solutions… it needs to be māori led.
 

Looks like Musk won’t be funding Nigel Farrage political campaign as was floated in uk politics
Farage is too anti Israel for Elon and Tommy. UK is getting what it deserves anyway. The Muslim rape gangs are an absolute stain on British society
