      I genuinely don’t get why Labour doesn’t just run a campaign just repeating what these fuckers say they’re gonna do.

        He’s talked me out of voting for him, that’s for sure. Safety regulations are written in blood, and building regulations are written in rotten and collapsed buildings.

        Absolute muppet.

    ACT courting the asshole vote by promising to make things worse in every way

    This is the party proposing to remove the building act, that specifies building standards. We don’t need building standards in an earthquake prone country, because if the buildings aren’t good you won’t be able to get insurance so the market makes sure the buildings are still up to scratch. Not making this up.

    The only surprising thing about this party is that they have so many supporters. But I fully believe most of their voters have no idea about their policies, and instead are voting for them because people want a change of government and don’t like the current National party.

      Yeah, removing the building act is utterly moronic, I’m surprised their opposition isn’t making more noise about it.

      What a clown show of an election.

      It has form too - this kind of thinking is how we ended up with the leaky building crisis

      If they were in anyway intellectually consistent they’d also be proposing removing drivers license requirements - insurance would keep unsafe drivers off the road, and would totally be consolation for families of people killed by rich people

        You better hope they don’t hang out on lemmy. If they announce this as their next policy I’m blaming you!

          I can’t imagine anyone in Act hanging out on the fediverse - open, decentralised community run by volunteers? At best that’s a commons that needs a good tragedy, at worst that sounds like communism

            I dunno, a “free speech” type instance seems like just the place some Act voters may hang out. Free to speak their minds in ways that mainstream social media would censor.
