Wonder if that system of + - of approval will be published. Last time Luxon was behind Hipkins. And now?
Poll results out tonight TV1
Thanks Visubversa. I have just looked at the RSE quickly and will return to it tomorrow. Will look to see if there is a connect between the survey questions and what is actually taught in lessons. I hope that the glossary is just a reference to be informed...
Thank goodness we have Mark Mitchell to clear up crime in NZ. Armed robbers storm Michael Hill Jeweller store, use hammers to smash cabinets at Auckland mall. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/emergency-services-responding-to-aggravated-robbery-at-west-...
Refreshing ideas Sanctuary.
What a silly survey for Family First. Are Primary School kids taught" that they can "choose their gender" . I would say they aren't and shouldn't be. However if the question was, "Should a Primary School child who has anxieties about gender, be offered ...
Hope there is an appeal, but of course the Government will delay until the Bill is before the House. The Waitangi folk are probably right that there is no research and that the repeal is based on heresay. So it is with other Government actions so far.
So true Adrian. In the UK the Government has steadily turned Public Hospitals over to American Private Hospitals. Specially sold off are the richer Units leaving the poorer areas just so much poorer. And the USA has the highest $ per head cost on Health ...
Remember during the 90s how the then National Government cut the Health system with, I believe, the intention of bringing in Private profit making hospitals to "prop up" a "failing" Public Health System? Well. They are at it again. Leaked document reveals ...
Thanks Stephen. We have no cats but a couple stroll through as though they own the place. However, the sparrows who usually fly by or squat on nearby roofs are absent. I went on a 19 km bike ride today and watched out and saw but one. (I live in Blenheim ...
Sparrows. Lately the usually prolific sparrows have disappeared. Bread tossed on the lawn stays until it rots. Has anyone else lost their sparrows. If they have died out then that would be a serious warning about food chains etc.
I ended mine with "Cease and Desist."
And funny how Seymour has managed to get more kids back to school with a plan about sicknes V attendance. No surprises there. https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/04/17/too-sick-for-school-govts-new-advice-for-assessing-a-sniffle/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=...
Funny that Erica has found the need to employ contractors to redeploy curriculum rewrite. After 3 minutes. Not contractors but "Short Term Sprint Group People." https://www.rnz.co.nz/audio/player?audio_id=2018934767
Sounds good Stuff. Thinking last night that TV1 news is very small as real news would be lucky to fill 15 minutes. The rest is fluffy ducks, promoting Luxon or Sport.
I like and look forward to all your commentary. And have never thought that you were offensive to anyone. Please keep 'em coming.
Or a reduction of transparency?
Thanks Traveller. It is downright difficult to manage. Clunky? Yep.
Will Landlords choose a less desirable potential risk as a tenant, or one who looks promising/reliable/tidy/well/off? Mr Landlord will look at the 50 would-be tenants and take a chance on the least promising. Yeah! Right!
Bernard Hickey and Cathrine Dyer from The Kākā by Bernard Hickey <thekaka+the-kaka-project@substack.com> Bernard has published an alarming paper on the "Antarctic heat spike." No doubt Luxon will appoint a new committee who will find that the slight ...
Has anyone asked the Seymour expert just how exactly will publishing attendance figures reduce absenteeism?
Parliament On Demand have changed the layout. To me the new is about 50% the user friendlieness as before. Finding a particular question on a particular day is hard. Can't easily skip the less interesting questions. Progress of sorts - I suppose.
Question Time on Demand today seems stuck on 28 March. Anyone else get it?
I think that Finland does not allow any form of private schools but expects that every state school is of the highest standard and funds it accordingly.
Seymour was an advocate for voucher schools I think.
How sad for Mr Luxon. He was entitled after all. Interesting to read the lines prepared by staff and the way he can't deviate or ad lib.
Interesting that Act + NZF combined is less than the Greens.
Four of the first 5 Questions today are aimed at the PM. 10 points for each time the PM answers a question. Nil points are expected.
Me Me. I'll vote for you because you are a visionary and a doer.
It is ominous that this Government cuts data collection so I guess that they can claim that there is no problem, in say Child Poverty. Sharon Brettkelly writes; The uncertain future of two comprehensive studies on children and poverty has sparked fears ...
Hypocritical Brown. "We have got rid of those awful Labour fiends so that you Councils can make your own decisions." "You Councils are stupid and just aren't capable of making your own decisions so we will undo all your wrong decisions and put you all in ...
