🤖 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 mean apart from getting the much needed funding that will help deliver counselling for our youth?
You mean the counsellors quoted in the article as saying the scheme "not sustainable" & "poorly thought out"

Did the charity follow the right procurement processes or just beg a campaigning political party desperate for votes?

You mean the article from 2019 - over 4 years ago when Gumboot Friday started - where a counsellor says it's not sustainable because of a lack of funding?

They got a promise from a political party that was odds on favourite to win the election (i think you might be confused about which parties were desperate for votes) and not only did they deliver on that promise, all three in the coalition agreed on it.
 
Fancy a party of ex Tabacco lobbyist doing this straight out the gate. Very comprehensive alright.

Seriously what good does this do the general population?


Too predictable hey, tobacco and firearms.

What we need is more kids taking up smoking again, just when smoking rates were plummeting.

And AR15s in schools and gang pads.

We are at the mercy of these Trumpian Fascists.

These are dark times indeed for progressive advancement of this society.
