🤖 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.

Might be just some grub that likes to jerk off over his recordings? Interesting story emerging though with police saying they were looking into the brothel through the pm press secretary’s recordings and the pm knew nothing about it?
These sort of things the ‘team’ make sure the boss knows nothing about it so he can plausibly deny all knowledge.

Just some perverted little grub that could be any MP’s employee 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps that’s the fallacy they try to create with the “team”, but to most people it creates a thought that the pm really isn’t across all that you’d expect to be kept in the dark by police that his press secretary is recording prostitutes in a brothel at their request
 
I’m not sure anyone is overly fearful, subdued perhaps, things are just tracking along the bottom still but not that far below cyclical highs that were reached when the cost of debt was quite a bit lower than where it’s likely going to get any time soon.
Damn… Buffet never said anything about the realities of being greedy while the worlds in turmoil… 🫣

Does it matter? And more to the point does it make the offence any better or worse than what it is?

What's interesting about it?

Are the police charging him or the brothel without a licence? lol

Just the old optics thing again, nothing to see here.

The pm promising to have better vetting practices probably indicates it does matter. Odd again that here the police seized two of the guys phones over complaints, but Luxon hears nothing of it? Whether nothing or not, the old optics thing is everything in politics

Whether he's a lefty Stuff journo or a soulless National shill, I hope they check his hard drives too.

Yes optics for sure but my point is I guess, that the media and us to a certain extent should have more important things to focus on like the the number of child murders for example that still continue to happen in this civilised country
As for vetting practices, Luxon could get a few tips off the Greens, they set the standard for MPs.
