🤖 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.

This is the dumbest thing you posted in a while Wiz

Terrestrial TV is dead as is radio. Not sure Radio has any revenue to lose mate.
Centre and right media like the Herald and Newstalk ZB are holding their own or increasing revenue.

Left media like stuff, RNZ and TVNZ are crashing and burning which coincides with the same outcome for Labour.

Hopefully the media can read the room and look at facts better than some posters on here 🤷‍♂️

Ps - radio in particular is growing and defying the internet trend

So is that good or bad news for socially left leaning guys like you?

Us centre people are happy with whatever side performs and delivers! The recent left gave us socially left, bad vibes and karma is now at play.

Of more interest is Chloe stating the Greens are now the leader of the left and they are preparing to lead a radical left leaning govt.

"I strongly believe the Greens are the leading left-wing party in Parliament," she said. "I believe radical change, at this point, is necessary to confront the challenges of our time - tinkering will no longer do that."

Fighting words! Is Hipkins going to put her in her place or is he so PC, impotent and woke that he will roll over and let the Greens shoplift the leader of the opposition? Hipkins needs to step up!

Podcasts and commercial venues are conflating numbers. Unless you really think 3/4 kiwis are choosing the radio over Spotify
 
I thought there just was a general election in NZ?
Preparing… it’s like preparing for light rail, the left take forever and never achieve their goals.

Based on the commercial radio survey 2023. Pretty reliable source. People might use Spotify and also get some news during the day?
