Boards Chair here - before our BOT passed a motion affirming our commitment to Te Tiriti, I received emails from parents and teachers urging the board on.
The union never said a word.
Amazing that reaffirming a commitment to Te Tiriti is viewed as "anti-govt" (his words)

I’ve been arguing for many years that the entrenched attitudes of financialisation and generic managerial governance norms leaning towards corporate rule will prevent any lasting reform. These people will continually recreate the same systems over and over again whether public or private.

Why have a fire department? My house has literally NEVER caught fire.
Transport Minister Chris Bishop blames “a significant escalation in costs and little clear benefit” for calling it quits on a replacement.

Reading Christopher Finlayson’s book “He Kupu Taurangi” it’s sad to see how far the National Party has strayed from its roots. Like the US Republicans it appears to have been captured by religious nutters and the super rich #NZPols

It’s the time of the year (Summer) when the Pōhutukawa trees (also called New Zealand Christmas Trees) begin to bloom. Most bloom brilliant red flowers but this gorgeous beast blooms bright yellow.
This is how it looked this afternoon. 💛

So we are paying $46m more for smaller ferries that will be delivered 4-5 years later than IREX, but still have no idea on port-side costs apart from NACT1 continuing the Kiwi-way tradition of do absolutely minimum rather than properly invest in a 100 year asset....
New Cook Strait ferries won't cost more than $2b, Rail Minister vows
Peters says taxpayers have saved $2.3 billion while still getting the ferries and infrastructure they want.
