🤖 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.

You need to be pretty horny to look at porn on your work computer.

I dont even go on this forum on my work computer.
Years ago I had a mate who got caught looking at porn on his bosses computer. Son of a reasonably well known/controversial politician as well. Def not saying who.
 
Unless you own the company. You are really risking it having porn on your machines nowadays. Companies if they are doing things correctly should be enforcing policies to control it. Staff are risking their employment.

Years ago I had my manager call me in as one of the girls in our department found a customers folder had a porn vid one of team had somehow copied there. Luckily it wasn't sent to the customer and she also raised with him and not to our head of department.

20 years ago in IT we had an Asia Pacific Director who also looked after IT, who complained about an infection on his device and pop-ups that he deemed inappropriate. His words, "I never want to see that on my screen again". Back then you

Also had quite a few people emailing their partner's work email address, describing what they will do to them when they get home. Must have some funny conversations when they got home. Either asking why they didn't respond or figuring out that the email never arrived and got stripped. It did mean the help desk guys gave them some funny looks.

The porn thing died off and people moved onto media. We had one guy we found who was hosting a media server. Globally, people would have loved it as it would be coming down off the high-speed corporate connection. It didn't go down too well when it came out how much it cost the company. Also experienced a lot of people laid off for hosting a media server internally at one large company.

Being in IT has been amusing sometimes.

It wasn't that it was simply porn in this case either, there's a criminal case being considered - images that could be deemed 'objectionable material' under the law....
 
Yeah the PC Porn is no good, but apparently the indiscretion goes beyond just affairs and objectionable material.

Was talking to a friend last night (who has been working in political sphere for years) about what they'd heard his alleged actions were that aren't being reported yet, and they are certainly of the "shouldn't do that as a grown adult in a position of power" variety if true.
