rimmings party wasted $89 million last time in govt on charter schools. not content with that wastem rimming is now going to waste an extra $60 million on top of that this time round, $149 million.
yup understood what you meant, my comments were about yet further Trump lies and distortions. he didn't take a bullet and trump and democracy are accidental bed fellows. No comment regards his ear, 5 to 20 mm further to the right, being bloody etc but ...
No he didnt, the bullet missed Amusing today to see him demanding a "refund" for money spent campaigning against Biden. Shows what a total winner he is. Also claiming the democrats " stole" the election from Biden. Pot and black kettles
seems as if National is operating on the basis that as long as we reduce emissions by 2050 then we won't feel the effects of climate change. they cannot seem to get their head around the effects being with us here and now and just going to get worse for ...
I heard Duncan Garner on the radio talking about 'kids/youth criminals of today' and how in an 'earlier age' the local cop and the dad would give the kid a 'kick up the arse' but now the dad is 'on a benefit or in jail'. In an 'earlier age' it's likely ...
If anyone has paid anything more than scant attention to national-acts draft emissions reduction 'plan' they will see the lip service. Its flagship climate change policy, more ekectric car charging stations, will reduce emissions by 0.01 million tons from ...
She is distorting the democratic shape or parliament. She was elected a green list mp accorsing to the votes of the populace. Having left the party she is denying those voters having their votes represented in parliament. Democracy dictates she needs to go...
Interesting interview friday morning on radionz about the current state of the gas market in nz. According to the bloke giving the interview, Production is falling year on year and apparently stands at 150pj per annum, down from closer to 200pj a few years...
To paraphrase a John Key billboard from a few years ago Wave goodbye to cops leaving for Queensland, not high crime rates
'ACT has long said the most cost-effective way to manage emissions is through nationally co-ordinated carbon pricing' so the simple question for ACT, what price are you going to set per ton of carbon to push emissions down to reach our 2030 targets and ...
former board member of KO calls things as they are, a pretty blunt rebuttal of Bishop
and how many pages was the $500k report? under 20 is my recollection, maybe 10? something like $20k per page? a nice little rort earner for English and co [Please stick to your approved email address, thanks - Incognito]
yup indeed. I neglected to mention the rents which are a cost. new builds and low rents = costing money, debt, however you want to describe it. must have been a shock to Bishop, a social housing organisation not actually making a profit. [Please stick to ...
Bishop has also told Kaianga Ora to provide a 'turn around plan to eliminate losses'. So what, stop buding houses? As thats where much of the debt has come from. Clear the debt? Sell some houses ay Chris. Why cant this government just be honest about ...
The COC wants standardised testing for all primary students. One more step of requiring schools to report students achievement against national norms and we are bacl to their national standards policy of 2008. Bacl then it did little at all to lift ...
Yes. According to luxon, bishop & english KO is a real concern and underperforming. The chair of the KO board says the outgoing CEO has done a great job and made some real achievements. Wonder which of the 2 camps I would trust to be more accurate
a bit ironic this coming from a C grade Prime Minister of a C grade government with a lot of C grade talent in his cabinet Did Hipkins take the coalition cabinet as delegation with him on his last few PM trip overseas?
imagine driving in Palmerston North or into Hastings and seeing no one on the streets, all the shops are empty, every home and workplace, empty. That's what Luxon/Seymour & Peters have managed to do – send the population of Palmy of Hastings overseas in ...

found another $45 million to cut in wasted spending, David Spendmores minisry of regulation. scrap that bureaucracy and we have $210 million now. that will fund most of the cancer drugs
scrap Spendmores waste of money charter schools and you have funded 2/3s of the cancer drugs already. Sure there are plenty of other waste of time projects that can be canned for something useful, like keep a campaign pledge
One thing Willis has done by borrwing $15 billion for her tax cuts is smooth the way for a Capital Gains tax. The Cullen working party a few years back suggested one thing the proceeds of a cgt could be used for is lowering tax rates. Willis has borrowed ...
all the talk from Luxon and Willis before the election about their costings, pretty much laid bare now as being lies. Even the guy who wrote half of ACT & Nationals policies, Hooten, states as much.
yup. David Spendmore is going to cost rate payers $100,000 a time for a referendum, council by council. Millions of dollars of rate payers money wasted as a time when we have a cost of rates crisis. the guy talks about wasted money but then wastes more of ...
some mining yes, mining like coal no. coal has no future and locking in a 10-30 year horizon is no sensical when we need to be carbon neutral by 2050 at the latest. Jones needs to be way more nuanced rather than some crude blustering about mining in total.
A CGT and a clear narrative how it will be spent. provide an alternative to "a decade of cuts" under a national government and also inoculate against the inevitable 'tax and spend' squawks that will come from National and ACT (who ironically are wasting ...
the perils for Winston First and anyone else who takes the first step into a quagmire infested with conspiracists and nutty theories. The first step or 2 might feel like you are still ok but a few more steps in and you find yourself up to your waist and ...
Basic thing about charter schools, little or no evidence they make a dramatic difference. for every report showing success there is another showing failure. problems with the current education system will not be solved by charter schools. anyone who says ...
the simple truth is during the Key Govt years there was drilling in the great southern basin east of canterbury and the wells were dry. only productive area found has been taranaki. So then it must be the National Governments fault and that they caused the...
little simple Simeon fails to struggle to grasp most complex things it seems. We are walking a fine line between the absolute need to reduce CHGs and maintaining energy. Regards CHGs SS and his govt have agreed to keep 2050 commotments in place but ...
