So Wolak says Labour’s policy will reduce competition, increase costs and increase teh risk of power shortages. And this from the man they cite as the rationale for their policy. How humiliating.

Electricity
Why you need a balanced power supply
The other part to overlay on this is spin up and down time - once a shortage is impending how quickly can a given source ramp up. And that speed will be very different for standing start versus already generating

Clowns
Massive fail for Labour and Greens
The only people more moronic than these politicians right now are those that still believe they are competent to govern

NRT jumps the shark
Who wants to pay more for power simply so beneficiaries can have another kid? Put like that, I doubt even Labour party supporters would support it.
Except they're most likely the ones paying the more exorbitant amounts of electricity anyway. NRT seems to forget most people hadnt realised until now they were being taxed via their power bills so are now just as pssd at Labour for their gouging as National for privatizing.
What will be interesting to see is how many realise it is the partial privatisation that gives the best chance of stable prices.

Not housing unaffordability
Is it reasonable to expect to buy a home after one year working?
This is pure unadulterated expectations above ones station.
An interesting side point is whether it is everybody's absolute right to have children to the (current) point of society bearing the cost of allowing that right to all.
Minimum wage discussion
Part that seems to be missed in these debates isn't what happens to the jobs directly affected by the rise, but what happens to those that aren't?
If they all also rose, then the change has achieved nothing except pure inflation. If they don't rise then what happens to the motivation of those that had through education, longer service, and better performance produced a margin above the base...?
