🤖 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.

Question. How many of Rick. Wiz and frank are women? How many have a pay equity battle and have done for years?

How many know what they're talking about?


Answer. None. Thought so.
I’ve got a wife and 2 daughters.

I’m teaching them to work where they are valued and not play the victim.

However my wife and one of my daughters have chosen ‘lower paid’ careers specifically because that are more family inclusive. 🤷‍♂️

The whole pay equity debate fails because it reduced the value of work to simply money.

This is a fake claim because people choose to work at careers based on many other factors - flexibility, stress, physicality, responsibility, happiness, cleanliness, how rewarding, certainty of employment… and money.

Making a pay claim based on only one of many factors for why people choose where they work is why the whole case has no integrity and will be continuously mocked. Supply and demand sets wages.

People don’t have to work in these careers but CHOSE to knowing the pay rate. They chose it as an equal and equitable pay when factoring in all the conditions and employment factors. They knew all this when they take the job.

It’s simply a left personality politics play to divide us into voter groups and then favour them to win votes. And the lefts anti all woman push because the right won’t simply pay a group $13b more proves this.

But you lie so much wiz, proven time and time again
 
Cruise numbers projected to drop again next year after dropping significantly this year.

World leading cleaning requirements has really shown them who’s boss!

Cleanest, greenest place that visitors down want to visit and people living here are flooding away…

What industry can our regulations shaft next?

Just another attempt to reduce female accountability.

Chose a low paying career? Don’t worry we’ll simply redistribute wealth to make you feel better!
 
I see another 3 year old toddler murdered up North. Our numbers on this are extremely high. And although they have someone arrested, he gets name suppression.
Still no arrests in the Baby Ru case either. I can't really understand how anyone could function in normal day to day life knowing you had done something like this. And more importantly if you were a witness. Some strange loyalties out there for sure.
 
The latest NZ Crime and Victims Survey shows the number of annual violent crime victims in the year to February was 157,000 - a 15% decrease from October 2023, and a 27% decrease from the peak in June 2024.

Seems keeping more people in prison, cracking down on gangs and more police on the street keeps us safer than ‘defund da police’.

The lefts failed ideology being fixed:

As expected, the Reserve Bank has cut the OCR by 25 basis points to 3.25%. The major banks will most likely announce reductions in mortgage interest rates over the next few days.
Westpac have dropped most of their rates while ANZ, KiwiBank and SBS have dropped their floating rates.
