The public services are worse, not better

The political project begun under Ardern to permanently boost the size of the state to provide more and better public services and to embed a highly progressive taxation system to fund it is dead for the time-being. 

Labour’s aim absolutely has been to permanently boost the size of the state, and they have managed that. But rather than produce better public services, almost every public service has deteriorated.
