Hipkins gives the vibes of a politician that can't pick a drink without a focus group
He has no hope of winning the election, only the hope that National will lose it

Or he'll deliver a Labour government that stands for nothing, which really means they stand for entrenching everything the Nationals did

Sorry, I'm not trying to gaslight (really)
Articles like this indicate there was a sharp loss of altitude in an A320 which was what triggered the recall
I'm genuinely curious how this happened

"There is no policy too timid or incrementalist that the post election lesson won't be it was too radical" - Labour's Razor
Really.. 'too much ,too fast' was that really the last labour government's problem.
I remember it was more a self imposed fiscal cap & endless centrist incrementalism even before covid hit... it took them until their 6th year to bring in the fair pay act. #nzpol

Why, in such a life critical system, would there not be some kind of safeguard if the elevation is suddenly way off what it's supposed to be?
Why would it be allowed to massively alter pitch and not, say, alert the pilots, or double check against some other redundant data?

Are there any aviation enthusiasts that can explain why there weren't better safeguards against the A320 suddenly pitching down?
The way it's described in the MSM (so maybe there's more to it) is that the elevation data got corrupted and so the software suddenly pitched the plane down

Now that Luxons got the access and the title (former) PM, I'm sure sometime has pulled him aside and said the best thing for the party is to step down in the election year and I doubt he cares

I wouldnt be surprised if stepping down was part of the plan.
You can tell by his lack of leadership that all Luxon ever wanted was to shake hands with the rich and powerful and get the access and prestige that comes with being a former PM
