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.

Hope they’re all safe, must be an eerie feeling knowing they shared the lift with those that inflicted that. Feeling fortunate too that they didn’t stab them also. The crime seems to have ramped up in the last few months to very violent. Lots of attempted abductions and abductionsBayfair mall, Tauranga.

UK had a stabbing epidemic pre-covid, I think we're just following general trends a few years later.Outside of politics:
Is this a short term flow on from covid - stress, pressure within families, financial issues, inflation, etc?
Or is this a long term societal change that’s slowly been happening over time? Lowering of morals, standards, respect for each other?
Is the trend the same in all countries post covid?
Being safe is the first thing you need to build a healthy society off (Maslow)
