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 issuesālike Wellington's water crisis and the dental school staffing shortageāwere 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.

The light rail would have definitely brought regeneration. Ironically prices along the rail corridor would have shot upJohn
Someone has to find a way to āurban renewāā Mt Roskill
Thereās a lot of grotty substandard old houses in Three Kings Mt Roskill
I would have thought the now stopped light rail on Dominion Rd would have a planning change allowing new apartment buildings to replace all the dumps on Dominion Rd
And who would you have replace private landlords? The government department whose debt is so large it will never be able to pay it off?Hahhahahaba. Fuck me. Anything for a chance to ride the gravy train huh.

Thatās right, you suggested that NZ should invest in production like South Korea and other S-EA economies. Yet, nine of the twenty countries with the worst housing affordability in the world, including South Korea, are from S-EA.
Brilliant idea of yours.ā¦..try and fix housing affordability by following the examples of some of the worst countries in the world.
Please, try again.

If you canāt back up your claim that New Zealand shouldnāt speculate on property but would be better of investing in businesses (supercharging the economy) and not housing, thatās your problem, not mine.My god, this is probably what passes for intellectual conversation in New Zealand.
Tell us Miket12 why would a country with a high population density have high property prices? Ohh it must be anti business govt legislation.
