🤖 Thread Summary

The discussion centers around New Zealand's infrastructure policies, particularly the defunct Three Waters reform and energy sector privatization. defensivebomb #210787 defended local democratic control over water infrastructure assets that ratepayers have invested in, arguing against centralized management and using Wellington's dysfunctional water network as an example of council accountability. miket12 #210795 provided detailed analysis showing that Green Party wealth tax projections are unrealistic compared to international examples, noting that Spain and Norway's wealth taxes generate only 0.25% and 1.6% of total tax revenue respectively, while the Greens claim their version would raise 13.5%.

The energy sector debate intensified around privatization concerns, MaybeTop8 #210771 criticizing rising power bills as evidence of neoliberal policies benefiting the wealthy at public expense. MrFrankWhite #210751 offered a more optimistic assessment of New Zealand's energy infrastructure, suggesting the country could maintain relatively stable energy costs if it avoids offshore wind and leverages its hydro resources effectively. The conversation also touched on Treaty of Waitangi interpretations regarding co-governance, with participants debating the extent of indigenous rights in infrastructure management and the practical implications of kaitiakitanga principles in modern utility systems.

The coalition following the far right tactics of the us in attempting to exclude voters in new zealand, which will end up favouring right wing parties.
Why should you be entitled to enrol on voting day?

100,000 did it last election and the booths ground to a halt. Logistically we have to get people to enrol early in an orderly fashion. Or else next election we might get 1 million turning up to enrol and vote on the day and the system will fall apart.

The logistics of taking the easy route and enrolling and voting at once just doesn’t work.

Being incompetent and incapable of enrolling early is a left feature? Sorry you feel that way about your fellow incompetents 😉

Plunkett is a shock jock that’s irrelevant. He represents the fringe that should be ignored on both sides.

Now I hope your not using Plunkett to deflect from the actual logistics of same day enrolling and voting?

He and the Platform have a substantial right wing and far right wing following.
