Well brutal may be a bit over-the-top but nonetheless Dunne makes many
valid points:

It is not a cakewalk to victory at the election - Ardern's resignation
changed all that. National and Luxon in particular will have to work
a lot harder than simply repeal 3-waters, but it should be doable.

One aspect that National could emphasise if they have the requisite
skills to frame this discussion properly, is that Labour are the party
of academic career intellectuals whereas National are the party of
career for-profit leaders that have moved on to Parliamentary
representation. There are exceptions in both parties but they are a
small minority.

It's a bit worrying Crash. at this point in time I'm not sure if NZ could survive a Labour/Green/Maori government. It'd make the last five years look a lot like a cake walk...
