This is very interesting. I think over nine years five or six of my staff came from other offices and a similar number number went to other (mainly PM's) offices. This doesn't count staff who were secondees from Departments or agencies and who shifted with...
All this shows is that Phil has got under Hides thick skin. Well done. ps this is from my parliamentary computer which I regularly use to draft speeches designed to undermine Nact. The rule is a nonsense.
And if you look at whole of life and economic benefit issues O'Reilly is out of touch in the long as well as the short run. Sucking up to government just makes his organisation look more like the roundtable of old.
Heard both those guys talk this year Rex. They are still sharper than either of us have ever been or will ever be.
The Nats appear to be playing things close to their chests with Douglas' bills. Still no indication yet as to whether they will support student union abolition either.
Ignoring a story does not make it go away.
After 19 months many parents are now getting the new reports - described to me by a middle class Nat parent as narrow and shallow. Enormous waste of time and money.
AsTTle is also pretty good at identifying teachers professional learning needs too.
I'd bet majority of Auck Principals didn't vote Labour in 2008. Hope it will be different next year.
But if Key holds those two to account does he fire himself as well? http://blog.labour.org.nz/index.php/2010/06/21/jonathan-coleman-why-did-your-leader-spend/
In fact McCully will probably push in onto Brownlee.
Gosman - Labour (Clare and I then Darren) were involved from last year. Talked with union and CTU and in Clare's case local chamber and from those discussions came the BERL report. Darren did media statement and was on the radio supporting the bid ...
Looks like it is the new funding formula for all small schools to be announced in the budget. Not clear yet though. No good explanation why current formula could not have been used in the interim while new cuts designed.
+ Dr Norman?

Is it Pita's bread that is holding the Maori Party in there? This is from Monday's NZ Herald. The Maori Party hoped to be a part of any government, regardless of its leanings. Then he confessed: "Actually, I got so used to the increase in salary I told the...
I'm interested to hear if anyone who doesn't have a child at school got one which would mean that profiling which i think is ok was used.. The idea that the Ministry would allow the use of their database is almost unbelievable. But we live in unusual times...
It is also worth having a look at Laxon on Hattie. He is Key's standards expert and tells Key that his standards should be dumped and he should start again. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10624412&pnum=0 And the cheek of Gus ...
Party leaders budget has never paid for Red Alert. No, repeat no, taxpayers funds.
Just caught up with this - I don't think attacks on journos opinions as opposed to correcting facts helps anyone. I didn't see this but if it was like the earlier post on John Armstrong then it adds nothing positive.
Sorry missed this post yesterday but for the record others see it differently. For example I have had written complaints about my public support for workers/unions from Telecom on Chorus, Air New Zealand on Zeal and Talleys on Open Country Cheese. I'm told...
Your decision is a good one but I don't thank you for it - just more time moderating on Red Alert.
While sometimes I think it is great that this debate is being had,and othertimes I worry about NZs reputation - I still can't understand why Bill English decided to hand it to the left like this. Beyond belief really.
Kiwirail workshops Woburn and Hillside run 4 x 10. Seems to work well for them.
And what if she finds a judgement issue? And do you believe he is eligible Tim? Do you think the change in the trust arrangement is an indication of appropriate ethical standards? And do you think he retains the credibility to be Minister of Finance? And ...
@ steve - you were banned from Red alert not for dissent - and if you look carefully through the comments on Chris' and my posts today you wil see that that is not a reason for moderation - but for offensive comments and trolling. We just apply a higher ...
Well Swampy you get first prize, you are the first person to label me a communist that i am aware of. I believe in the right of a worker to join a union, i believe in the right of a worker to participate in a democratic vote on wages terms and conditions ...
Tim you called Carol's word into doubt. And by the way I don't believe you audit for a bank full time.
While it is hardly worth reponding to the penguin when he wears his Nat party hat in this way I think I should put on the record that I see no need to apologise for working with a union to try and save some of their members jobs. We do it all the time - ...
Iprent - I think there is a difference between strongly disageeing on the merits of a journalist's article and the approach used in this post. Frankly it didn't add anything to the post. Armstrong is neither a politician nor a blogger so I think it is ...
Not sure but I remember in 1996 we were 14% in June? and came close forming govt in November.
