And .... there it is. The strategy. Simple as that. Thanks for the link, Kevin.
There can be some interesting choices of languange around this issue in the media. It generally seems that nice, middle class parents "give birth" or "have babies". The poor working or beneficiary class, on the other hand, "reproduce" or "breed". Spot the ...
I've met Pat a few times. He is a top class bloke, and a great educator. He has huge respect in the education field. He is someone with an opinion to be respected. I hope the minister pays him due attention.
Well done all. My favourite blog. I enjoy the cut and thrust of debate, and read just about everything. Reading a left-wing perspective is refreshening and informative, and the ability to read thoughts from people who battle the neo-libs is great. I am ...
Seems that the pathetic managers that the Talleys employ are upset that the next PM doesn't see them as important enough to talk to. Boo hoo. But then, I don't see the locked out workers getting all pissy because John Key is unlikely to ever meet with them...
No Burt, they don't. Wrong again.
No. Because your opinions are foolish.
Oh dear, Muzza. I may have spoken too soon. "limp and useless" may indeed be it. Good follow-up.
Sorry, Muzza, gotta disagree on this one. Some pretty good backgrounds and credibility there. And not there to represent their employers. Not my favourite bunch of organisations either, but these people bring their own values to this. I reckon this lot ...
I can perhaps see why a biometric passport can cost more, as it contains more material. But why only five years? Does biometric data change every five years? Wouldn't think so!! And some other countries have the same biometric passport for 10 years. If the...
The tory "Brighter Future" is coming our way. Pity that the brightness is the result of flashing video screens on slot machines, illuminating the deathy pallor of the trapped, frantically hitting those buttons in the hope of being declared a winner.
... busy load" and will pick up a sinecure or two somewhere...
Typical of this lot to avoid interviews - another minister diving away, leaving some junior in the media department to knock out a quick statement that says "don't worry - the market incentives will look after that for us - now stop bothering the minister ...
It certainly seems to me that the Herald on Sunday has decided that the years-long honeymoon for Key and his merry band of neo-lib control freaks is over. Good on them. Imagine reading the editorial getting stuck into Key's abuse of the paper for short ...
Department of Building and Housing is no easy fit - unless you remember that the Govt have a bit of a problem with the current chief exec, who allegedly takes a very hands-on approach to staffing issues.. I suppose deconstructing the entire department is ...
Sadly, the "one in five" figure of those sacked is not an estimate. An academic study, delivered at an employment conference at Victoria University last November, showed that under the 2009 legislation ("fire- at-will" for employers 20 staff or under), ...
