That, I think, is why some of the attacks on Swarbrick feel oddly objectless. The danger isn’t just what she might do as Finance Minister. It’s what she might reveal about the people who have spent 40 years telling us the money is all gone. andrewdicksonnz.substack.com/p/chloe-swar...

A vote for the coalition in govt is a vote to keep things as they are or worse. It's a vote to tell them you're OK with your corrupt approach & continual punch down on the most vulnerable in this country.
