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 got my vote Miket12.Just read this to my wife and she nearly wet herself laughing. Then she suggested EmperWah Mike instead.
Hard to say yet but consecutive days with a māori element in what’s been perpetrated suggests it’s something to keep an eye on.Definitely disruptive. Targeting schools, hospitals, places of worship and now museums, hotels, treaty grounds. Fairly disingenuous for any one to try and claim that it's a racially motivated attack against māori isn't it?

Further 'concerning' emails sent to organisations - police
Police believe emails which contain bomb threats - sent to more than 70 organisations - have been sent from overseas.www.rnz.co.nz
Could just as easily be Atlas Network trying to divide, destabilise and demoralise. Actually it sounds more like Active Measures by Putin's boys.Hope you were equally outraged at people attacking the English version of the treaty in Te Papa?
Just more left divisive politics coming out:
Rich vs poor
Employers vs employees
Farmers vs city
Car users vs cyclists
Landlord vs tenants
Immunised vs unimmunised
Etc, etc
Really hoping if everyone’s treated equal and the government backs everyone instead of picking winners, we have a more harmonious society.
We don’t want me sorting out the Russians, increasing their productivity and actually getting their act together do we?You got my vote Miket12.
One stipulation is your first appointment is Wiz as foreign diplomat to Russia.

Careful what you wish for!
Not even sure it was a burglary, potentially someone who’s drunk too much piss?Did the teen know it was Luxon’s house or just a random burglary?
Simeon?? Popping in to see the boss after a big nightNot even sure it was a burglary, potentially someone who’s drunk too much piss?
It's something to keep an eye on but not because there was a māori element to it. This is turning in to a COVID conspiracy type nonsense.Hard to say yet but consecutive days with a māori element in what’s been perpetrated suggests it’s something to keep an eye on.
Just coincidental at present, very disappointing if any racial motivation involved.It's something to keep an eye on but not because there was a māori element to it. This is turning in to a COVID conspiracy type nonsense.
Yup, if you ignore the fact that schools, hospitals, places of worship, museums and hotels have been targeted with threats then clearly racially motivated.Just coincidental at present, very disappointing if any racial motivation involved.
Hard to ignore how the potential of a referendum has stirred up tensions though to the point where māori decided they needed to protest to show their dismay. Hopefully the authorities give it the attention it deserves with coincidentally 3 different elements in quick succession with māori graves smashed, a phallus sawn off a monument and a bomb threat at ht home of the treaty. They wouldn’t be doing their jobs otherwise.Yup, if you ignore the fact that schools, hospitals, places of worship, museums and hotels have been targeted with threats then clearly racially motivated.
Don't forget there was a shark spotted close to people at Papamoa beach as well. I understand there was a couple of māori families just a bit further along from there. Seems a bit coincidental.

I always thought Jaws 3 an impossibility, but you could be right.Don't forget there was a shark spotted close to people at Papamoa beach as well. I understand there was a couple of māori families just a bit further along from there. Seems a bit coincidental. Something to keep an eye on.

Aerial photos show shark just metres from people on popular beach
Experts say these sighting are common this time of year.www.nzherald.co.nz
Equally as plausible.I always thought Jaws 3 an impossibility, but you could be right.
