National releases 3 more lines of policy – Scoop

A classic headline that says it all.

Here’s the three lines: ‘Give schools additional resources over time to ensure more students can take part in extra-curricula organised sport. Ensure more of the government’s sport spending gets through to the front line.’

Stop it, John. It’s great knowing exactly what you would do, how much it would cost, and how you would fund it but all this policy wonkery and detailed planning for government is boring! Show us your smile, instead!

More seriously, it turns out Key’s accusations of ‘waste’ in SPARC are dead wrong. From Radio NZ yesterday:

Key: ‘Obviously some administration is necessary but in our view that’s just too much, nearly a third of their budget’

Peter MisKimmin (CEo, SPARC): ‘At the moment our internal costs are actually 12% of our costs.’

Hmm, a hollow hit and run attack: accusation of ‘waste’ with no actual solution offered but a promise to ‘fix things’. Classic Crosby/Textor from Brand Key.
