You should say will try to fix and you should qualify by saying if they become the next government.

Opening the borders, and addressing the housing shortage are mutually exclusive esp under a National govt.

I don't think anyone should care about staff shortages when the average NZer is doing well.

Unless it's to do with exports or healthcare.

Plus there are plenty of fakers around..

And herein is the difference between Labour and National. Labour's goal seems to be to destroy whole industries and eliminate private small business ownership. They're doing a good job of it.
National on the other hand supports it and understands its importance to our economy.

Labour's policies now seem to be to facilitate an exodus of people from NZ to free up houses that the Government can then pay for and use for emergency housing. A stroke of genius.

How? Tell us National's specific policies to 'fix' all these things, or is this just another airy fairy Hallmark card ?

The estimated cost of fixing NZ's water infrastructure is $185 Billion, just to maintain critical services. Wouldn't you want that debt/cost spread over all taxpayers rather than just the ratepayers?
National reduced the Police budget & closed many community stations, including the terrible decision to close the Fort Street station in Downtown Auckland city.
Nursing problems can be solved by further raising their pay (more than Labour already has) but that means higher taxes.
National put a lid on the Health budget for 9 years, effectively meaning it went backwards all while hospitals were having to put off maintenance & repairs & the population grew by another million or so people.
Labour has given the Health budget the biggest increase in funding of any govt. We now have funding for Cancer drugs which were not previously funded under National.
If you get Cancer, you are a hell of a lot better off under this govt than you were under National & that's a fact.
Do you have any idea 161,000 homes have been built since Labour came to office, over 41,000 homes in the year to June 2022, under this Labour govt 20,000 more homes built in 5 years, than in 9 years under National.
It's been a seismic shift, by far the largest addition to housing stock going back to 1991
Kiwibank estimates we will have housing surplus in less than 12 months.

Sure there's problems, but since National lost all their decent MP's & just left with an inexperienced 1st term MP as leader & few who have had any ministerial experience, and no new policies, and half of the caucus seriously hate the other half, & people like Luxon, Simeon Brown & Chris Bishop are flirting with extremists like the Freedom Party which must make Hipango & a few others happy, & they are so unrepresentative of culturally diverse NZ & no one really knows what they stand for, etc etc they are not ready for government.
