35 state schools to be given to private providers. Make him start in Epsom with Grammar, Darien! Charter schools begin at home, or so I was told. Erica Stanford looks like a leader, unfortunately. Got a very safe seat and doesn’t say much. The kind of Tory...
Guinea pigs should be home grown in the Epsom electorate because that’s the best place for chickens to come home to roost. 35 schools full of students are to be given up to this American ideology. Don’t let them shit in your backyard, if they won’t shit in...
Please don’t be shy with that list of 35! Why shouldn’t it be Grammar? This will lead to greater standards and accountability according to its MP.
This part of this government’s land owning gentry? Buy the land, set the curriculum and employ anyone you feel like to staff the school? Already a tax exempt landlord? Now be exempt from various employment laws and much else besides!
But, the Ministry of Education concluded that last time around the monitoring was inadequate and apart from two schools, there was no independent evidence they were doing a better job than comparable state schools - in fact, their results might have been ...
The money will establish 15 new charter schools and convert 35 state schools in 2025 and 2026, depending on demand and suitability. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/516744/watch-charter-schools-to-get-153m-in-new-funding-in-budget-2024 Bit different to ...
You’re on the Shore aren’t you? How about Rangitoto? Nice chunky case of unrealised profits there. Or Westlake? Lots of extracurriculars to monetise stealthily. Or perhaps somewhere slightly smaller, more boutique where unqualified teachers could be ...
From the Minister and Prime Minister who didn’t know the sums when in opposition- neither had any idea what each prisoner cost the taxpayer per year when fronting an announcement - comes the bottomless pit of hard and tough and strong on crime. The ...
So any volunteers for these 35 schools? Give Auckland Grammar to Destiny Church. That should make the next Epsom election an interesting one… Looks like they can do what they want? Followed David Farrier’s work on his old Catholic high school where gay ...
https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2018895730/nick-mckenzie-ben-roberts-smith-the-war-hero-turned-criminal A 45 minute account of appalling behaviour, tax payer funded and in our (well their, but uncomfortably adjacent) name.
https://newsroom.co.nz/2024/05/14/public-ownership-of-auckland-airport-shares-finally-about-to-end/ And what equivalently vital strategic infrastructure are we getting in return? Auckland Airport should be a nationally significant piece of infrastructure, ...
This is terrifying. I listened to what was going on in Afghanistan on Kim Hill. It was an absolute nightmare. It was Apocalypse Now in plain sight, with medals on living a double life. https://www.theguardian.com/media/commentisfree/article/2024/may/14/the...
By god we need satirists. I remember in Australia the Chasers running around public schools collecting for private schools for the reason above. Perhaps we could get some cigarette sponsorship into schools? Benson and Hedges Collegiate. The David Seymour ...
Rather makes the High Court look like a bunch of sniveling apologists and scam artists covering for an incompetent or evil minister. If she has a justification for what she’s doing she needs to front up and explain it. She’s a coward, from a party of ...
No, it was clearly about the cost of nutrition that Hipkins was speaking about. He was making a point about the cost of nutrition and that he knew about it because he had personal experience. Look, if you’re worried because Chippy knows what a block of ...
Government is damn inconvenient. It’s much better to spin a few fables, lip synch the classics and go to a think tank for lunch. No skimping there!
Is egg sushi woke? How about sausage meat sushi? Is the vinegar woke or the rice? How about if it isn’t served by sn Asian person? Does that mean the 14 cities with St Pierre’s are infected hives of villainous wokeness?
So the topic is nutrition. And the cost of fresh local produce. And a low wage, high cost economy. And the speed National moved to make it worse. No fair pay agreements. No discounts on fresh produce. Still, keep up your nasty, nasty instincts. It’s doing ...
I do believe alwyn has spammed the same thing 3 times now. Not how a discussion goes. More aggressive and nasty tin ear behaviour. I know that parents are there to have fixed needs so that they can be forced into high childcare costs, high housing costs ...
A former Alliance guy who repudiates anything Jim Anderton might have campaigned for reflexively, unless it can be used to castigate current left wing politicians for being too focused on identity issues as well social justice. Does that accurately ...
Here’s the low down-super cringy boomer coolness! For ideas that are equally. ‘Trackless trams’ are bendy buses that don’t carry enough people and still need a corridor. Flying foxes and sky cubes! I really begin to hate these people. Apparition will be ...
You’re repeating yourself. It’s a sign. Should get it checked you know.
ACT reinvents the 1970s NZ Railways lunch of hard cheese and crackers. And a good mug of black tea with sugar…now to reinvent railways too…
Please ask St David what makes sushi ‘ woke’? Is it the way tuna and salmon is sometimes race-mixed in the same $5 set? We need this important list of woke foods so we don’t accidentally feed them to our children! We need to ask St David are St. Pierre’s ...
It’s been wonderful to watch ACT leader enact a principle in education that should be extended. The government should use its size to buy things, including money, in bulk at a considerably cheaper rate in order to provide a more inexpensive service for New...
Or they harangued an MP buying flowers for a dying friend and were triumphalist about her bloc losing the government benches. Or when the MP was out in public not in an official capacity. It’s a bit like asking Destiny church about the gay marriage ...
Can’t remember what kind of coward you are- the ones who take kids lunches or the kind who sells single smokes outside schools or the kind who gets large sums of grants to give to their mates while kicking other people out of their houses and jobs… which ...
Stand up for Julie Anne Genter! She’s obviously being harassed by two triumphalist right wingers, who despite their people skills and having made public how much they disliked the Green Party, unaccountably are having business problems in Wellington. ...
Of the essentials of life, drinking water is now not something guaranteed by the democratic representatives of our city or state. There is no guarantee of drinking water in our largest city. That’s the plan of Brown, Brown and Luxon. Winning the culture ...
Joyce was what by fellow inm… Sorry checking your spelling there?
