A must watch

Here I go again

An ideal situation would be ACT under 5% and National so desperate to win seats that they terminate the Epson arrangement!

Erica Stanford's plan to change NZ schooling must be stopped - my latest article

Senile or just plain incompetent and very biased?

Education Minister Erica Stanford accused of 'manufacturing a crisis' Reforms will unleash a "tsunami of work", says a former school principal and NZQA executive.

Shades of the ferries and Dunedin hospital and the polytechs. Scrap the existing programme without warning or planning, create an expensive muddle, then replace it with something less good and more expensive. All for the sake of ideology.

Manafacturing an NCEA crisis while ghosting the cost of living crisis they were supposedly elected on. #nzpol

This needs to be investigated.

This is an excellent chat between two eloquent and informed people.
I stayed up way past my bedtime last night watching it.

I think your best guess is spot on.

This is a brilliant interview. Chloe has to be the most economically literate politician in AONZ right now. youtu.be/zl_LgDjpzxE?... #nzpol

Justice Minister looks to legislate ‘over top of’ tikanga and Treaty court decisions

Even the landmark 2022 Peter Ellis case that recognises tikanga as the first law of Aotearoa is up for legislative debate.

You may not find it on the front pages - or even sports pages - of the four big local media companies, but Niamh Fisher-Black won the silver medal in last night’s women’s road race at the world champs in Rwanda.
And yes, that’s a big deal.

At a guess I'd say it has something to do with the Treaty.

The junior maths curriculum is being rewritten in England.

The gulf between Arden and Luxon is light years wide

Can’t wait for the Ian Taylor “letter
to Jon” think piece 🙃

Tomorrow is the Rapture! Take an old pair of shoes, put a piece of dry ice inside each. Have fun.

Also, is this the “significant announcement in Auckland” that meant Stanford had to cancel her speech at the PPTA conference because the day clashed?

Because if so, this is the wrong day.

he spends his days pretending to be a prime minister so what's different about him pretending to be a construction worker?

Minister orders more classrooms to help struggling construction workers The Government is ordering new classrooms, as it looks for immediate fixes to stem back-to-back reports of a declining construction sector.

Is it really "fast-tracking" or "accelerating" when it's basically restarting some of the 100-odd projects you iced a year ago, putting the construction sector into a nosedive? www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Do we as a country want this to happen?

For those of you who've not yet voted in your local body election

More of my ponderings...

Plunket: So the way to do that is get the Treaty, get all this Treaty stuff, out of education, right?

Stanford: In one go.

Sir Brian Roche saying that teachers should have held their strike in the school holidays to cause less disruption

My dude, the whole point of striking is to cause disruption, this is the power the workers hold - withholding labour!
