“You starve your public schools to feed your private schools and charter schools,” said one superintendent about Oklahoma's efforts to grow charter schools. “Our foundation was set up for a free and appropriate education for all kids. All kids!”

Oklahoma Is Ground Zero in Trump’s “America First” Education Push
Oklahoma has spent years reshaping public schools to integrate lessons about Jesus and encourage pride in America’s history. By the time the second Trump administration began espousing its “America Fi...

Hope all goes well for you and whanau. And the cats.
So sorry to hear that. Sending you support across the miles. Hope tomorrow is better.
Poorly analysed article. The ACCC has teeth unlike the wet lettuce commerce commission. And competition isn’t always the answer. Bevin should do better. He comes across as a Willis excuser
So sorry to hear that.! Airlines will help you get there. Kia kaha
Having shit week. But think the new pills are getting my BP down and headaches gone. Getting on with it which always helps. How are you?
My whanau has chosen this place because she and her now passed husband used to go there for special dinners when it was Vietnamese. Can’t thank you enough for making this suggestion as it will be a special evening for her.
Thanks. I will read up on that. My niece is a food snob and likes a good cocktail
I will save that one for next time! And thanks again.
Thanks. Sounds good to me
@tonywelly.bsky.social do you have any nice quiet restaurants to suggest in Wgtn? Going out with my niece for dinner shortly & she said oh you choose. Thanks
Any whale sightings? Remember going there in October for that purpose.
Hmm think Muldoon still takes that label.
LECs get this info & it’s very useful. I think it’s the people who didn’t vote and those who changed. Really dislike characterisation, very English. I worked for decades as did my dad and rest of my family, accountants, lawyers, drs, nurses, teachers, farmers, bank tellers etc. All worked hard.
You need an understanding of where voters came from in 2020 v 2023. That will really help. Plenty of info on that
Poor Jess. It is Jess? Do show your real name so we can an all work it out. I’ve had people threaten to report me to the law society for having a different view. That’s life here. Had to ask the. To remove my address from the register a few years ago because of the threats. But do go on.
Glad you don’t have a negative experience. I have had many. I’m not sure about the outcome as I look at how much say Seymour has and many will be nervous. A good collaborative approach is better than anyone having control. Let’s hope they can show us how that’s done. Be awesome
Maybe he knows that this place is only for Greens. Turned into a massive echo chamber. He’s all over X, Facebook and Insta
I’m not bitter. You are. No wonder James Shaw left. Been doing campaigning since Helen Clark first came on the scene. You’ve proved my point exactly. And exemplify the reason many will never vote Green. Time for you to FRO. Do try to build others up instead of being the schoolgirl bully
Hilarious. Where were you at the protests? Dont recollect seeing you there. Do tell. As I said the greens are into abuse. Denegration is a speciality.
Here we go it starts. This place is appalling. She’s into abuse peeps. One to avoid. She thinks people will vote Green but the reality is to change the Govt you need Labour. Wonder how many policy proposals she’s made and how many shoes she’s worn out canvassing.
I have and it’s worse. I don’t post much at all. People just yell because they lack understanding of what policies are & how the cycle works. Not long til 2026. Hope you’re participating again. Some powerful MPs in Christchurch
Blue Sky is only for greens. Dont support a Labour Policy or a Labour MP, the abuse here is worse than X. Not that any of them have ever joined a party, made policy proposals or walked the streets canvassing or delivering. At least X peeps are honest abusers.
A threat to the No Kings March.
Hmm I’ve told him women won’t make donations to someone who publishes such rubbish. Got the begging email last week. Blatant misogyny in a newspaper is unacceptable. Might sic JuCo onto him
