Now here’s a thought! https://www.theguardian.com/education/article/2024/jul/20/labour-makes-working-class-children-key-to-schools-reform?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other ”She said it was working-class children “who most need a brilliant education” from the state, ...
Damian Grant in today’s Stuff. The man has a sense of humanity after all. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350348395/shock-grief-and-incomprehension-when-your-child-becomes-infamous ”OPINION: Recent events in the United States caused me to remember the ...
A fascinating read about the economics of subsidies. China has it right, and the consumer benefits. For the rest of us, the billionaires benefit most. ”What China has done in industry after industry is to flatten the supply curve by subsidizing hordes of ...
Slightly off topic, but the Taxpayers Union’s polling is more than likely to be a bunch of made up bullshit! Dirty politics has no boundaries.
Reform = racism.
And a media complicit by not looking at the he then opposition parties policies in detail .
Who needs farmland? Milldale from Pukekohe to Hamilton, and from Orewa to Warkworth. This government is totally fucking us over.
I’m well aware of the historical differences. The playbook being used by Trump is too similar to ignore. That, and pissing all over the constitution will, at some point cause a strong reaction. Given the number of firearms in the US, that could get violent...
Two questions; Is the American voter more aware than the German voter in the 1930s? If not, how long before civil war breakes out? Ostensibly to reinstate the constitution.
A question for the economists. Why do we have to pay so much more in NZ for things like dairy and lamb, compared to Tescos or Sainsbury’s? Surely transport costs alone should make home grown produce cheaper. Or am I just naïve?
Just watched the Stuff documentary The Long Game. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350325795/how-mp-became-good-friends-ccp Fascinating analysis of possible CCP infiltration of our government. Sometimes I think we forget that the mandarins of China have ...
A generation ago, Labour had a complete transport policy integrating coastal shipping, rail, and road. Who knows what happened to it? Fish hooks everywhere. Rationalising coastal ports, redeveloping railheads, fighting off the roading lobby.
Shane Reti, Winston Peters, Shane Jones. What have they actually achieved for the people of Northland? Sweet F All.
IIJM or is this government turning out to be the most incompetent ever?
The upside is only for the National Party. By doing the roading lobby’s bidding, they are ensuring their funding will continue.
Friends of mine, admittedly well off, recently built a new home. Solar panels on the roof. Family of 3, 1 is a teenager. Two teslas. During last winter, their power bill was $6.00 a month.
I’m really looking forward to Julie Anne Genter being Minister of Transport. Think of all the fast track cycle ways!
All true. But Putin doesn’t always respond logically.
So what we’re saying is that Biden’s green light enables Ukraine to attack Russia. Thus Putin retaliates against Poland, or Estonia etc. Then the ball is in NATOs court.
And don’t forget the Numeracy Project. They totally forgot about the basics. No point in having 5 strategies to multiplication if you don’t know 7x6.
What remedial backup? The govt is cutting funding for things like support staff.
Let's hope they do a better rebuild than the Nats. Their current gene pool is so shallow it's scary.
Structured literacy emerges as a promising solution to this literacy crisis So not actually proven, then. From my limited (20years+) teaching experience, one size does NOT fit all.
Here you go. https://www.1news.co.nz/2021/10/01/live-stream-6pm-weekends/
Just seen Maki Sherman doing a piece to camera about JAG and the Greens. The woman’s nearly hysterical!
Check out Nicks Kōrero, the one about the florist. Gives you some insight into the “business owner “
Now this makes a lot of sense. ”In the book, Blakeley asserts that rather than failing, capitalism is working exactly as intended - allowing corporate and political elites to advance their own interests at the expense of the rest of us.” https://www.rnz.co...
One of the truly great cartoons. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2024/apr/29/a-cup-of-tea-and-a-biscuit-for-the-end-of-the-world?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
One of my takeaways is that the CoC talent pool is frightenly shallow. The other is that Seymour and Peter’s will look weak if they don’t handle their ministers similarly.
https://theoatmeal.com/comics/rapture An oldie, but a goodie.
