I think the latest poll is more of a shifting of the chairs on the Titanic
What do you think the reaction would be if Paula Bennett was accused of the same fraud as MT?
Sounds like a lot of envy towards landlords here. Not all landlords are gouging the market -not all landlords increase the rent willy nilly -not all landlords are rich pricks. All landlords have expenses and risks they need to cover as does any business. ...
forever the optimist -not.
Must be about time for another Nicky Hager book flop.
"Not sure if anyone actually reads Oil anymore" -does anyone include you?
Not the term of 25 years. The number of years used to calculate the average % rate
So based on Twitford's claim for $3500 extra per year the average interest rate used was around 4.75%. Reserve Bank suggest is should be around 5.75% . Does anyone know the timeframe used.
I thought the discussion was on economic growth not poverty
The sky is falling -OMG 0.1% decline
Drowsy - Yes I am involved in the tertiary sector. You will find the majority of issues relate to the international education sector or new comers to the industry who lack the experience. You will also be pleased to know that a lot of private providers are...
Sorry Draco that you do not appear to be able to extrapolate the performance results from the link I provided. I thought it was extremely straightforward.
NZQA works on a cost recovery model for all PTE's
I'm not exactly sure what further research you need to compare between the Public & Private sectors -are the performance results not enough?
The Charter school model is working extremely well in NZ. I would think that deep down a large number of public sector teachers have an appreciation for them in knowing that they have taken the nuisance students off their hands so they can focus on their ...
What have we seen with Charter Schools?? (aside from Whangaruru)
Draco -the website in that link I provided will also access performance for Unis, Wananga's and Polys. "evidence shows that they don’t come close because of the private sector not keeping up with modern educational standards" - do you have this evidence?? ...
Here you go Draco - everything you didn't want to know about performance http://www.tec.govt.nz/funding/funding-and-performance/performance/teo/ptes/
earth to mpledger -this is NZ we live in not the US. The system of rules, regulation and compliance that surrounds the education sector in NZ goes along towards preventing this from happening here.
"A privatised tertiary education system, subsidised with public money, only benefits its owners". Bollocks - a very small amount of research will show that private sector students achieve equal if not better course, qualification, retention and progression...
Increase in funding = funding cut ???? That creative accounting
I'm picking you used to get punished as a young boy for swearing so now that you are all grown up you feel compelled to overuse it. Very sad. Anthropogenic climate change is a crock -the science is not settled.
What a load of bollocks - it rained as it has in the past and will in the future -nothing to do with the falsehood that is climate change or is it global warming or is it a funding trough for researchers
so true Wensleydale -are you sure its not your philosophy............ "Poor people are poor because they’re lazy and make bad choices. The unemployed are jobless because they’re all feckless junkies. Young people need to stop having a cry about the housing...
Crikey people it is only 2 years extra -were you whinging when Labour proposed this in 2014????????????
Do you really think that a young stoner will give a fats rats ar*e what Bill thinks. There is an extremely hi chance they have no idea who he is .anyway.
Perhaps now we won't have to listen to her verbal diatribe during question time.
In defence of Bill's comments relying on the failed drug test numbers only paints part of the overall picture. There will be plenty of employers who are either unwilling or unable to afford to pay for random drug testing but rather rely on their judgment ...
+100000
michelle - where were there cuts in second chance education?? As far as I'm aware there has been year on year increases with funding being prioritised to high performing providers
Had the Labour/Greens not sabotaged the initial share float then the original proceeds from the sale would have been much higher and the increase in value to today much lower. Thanks to Labour/Greens I secured shares in all the assets at a much lower rate ...
