Chris Hipkins: Tax, crime, and whether Labour can deliver | Q+A 2023

That "..when you sent money to dead people" was gold 😂😂

Damn good point. Reduced prices for fruit and veg in the UK, and the supermarkets lapped up the excess, only passing on 1% to the consumers. Subsidies are not the answer; regulating supermarkets' dodgy practices is

Two interesting responses illustrate how the market deals with controls and regulation. Why those speaking 'for the market' insist controls don't work. Some truth. Which may mean 'forget central planning, central coordination' of any market sector of an economy. The counterpoint to that is 'how did we all get into this mess' ?

I'm no fan of Hipkins, but he did answer the question about ram raids. He said they're trying to change the culture. What do you expect? Maybe after awhile it won't be cool anymore to film becuase the youth learn from their peers that it gets extra conditions put on them and they don't want that. Really...Tame can be a bulldog over the wrong points with the wrong people at the wrong time.

[@DrippyWaffler]

Yeah same. I actively dislike labour, but he specifically explain that the filming of the ram raids was a way to gain street cred. If you have a harsher sentence for the filming, that lowers the incentive to do it. I like Jack's interview style but calling it a bad policy because it doesn't "solve" ram raids was pretty retarded.

So instead they just put out the "feel good" policies that deliver bugger all for their constituents. Not to mention all the failed policies due to poor governance and accountability.

National can't even make a tax policy to save their skin, going all Boris Johnson and ignoring our trade agreements with our biggest trading parties, China and Australia, isn't exactly a safe move and neither is a coalition with ACT 'privatise our schools and hospitals' party. I've got no love for Lab but at least what they're promising isn't nearly as dangerous even if it isn't good enough. We need better from both parties but that Nats don't have it: promising tax cuts they can't pay for during a global inflation crisis, that's a promise only someone desperate for power makes (especially when our own central bank engineered a recession to avoid an even larger one). Inflation is killing us right now, it takes all the funding from our schools and hospitals and police, our basic social services, their tax plan will only make it worse. Yes we need to help people who are struggling, the working and middle class, but tax cuts for the rich, for those with most properties, those best equipped to weather the storm, isn't the answer, especially when it comes at the cost of the essential services that make our country great over the long term, our children, our health, and our safety. I won't tell you who to vote for but unless they change their tune real fast I couldn't vote for National or ACT this time around.

[@jacobslovak7785]

⁠@@emmanuelorange1669agreed. It’s like history repeating.

You must be full of some good quality drugs to think the greens will benefit anyone in new zealand.
