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)

If you have a dairy that got ramraided six times by the same kids and then they turned up one day outside asking everyone to contribute to “help make the dairy good again” then you’ll know what it feels like to hear National pledge to make our super savings as good as Australia’s

Willis cancelled IREX because the final cost was going to be $3bn
Ferries that are critical for goods transport.
$4bn for a tunnel so politicians can get to the airport faster? And that’s before the costs escalate as they always do.
Sounds pretty dumb to me.

$4 BILLION to save 'up to 10 minutes' during peak traffic. Fucking hell - imagine what that $4B could do for housing, education, health, etc, in Aotearoa.

Just your regular reminder of the profound conflict of interest at the heart of the Luxon fast track: Chris Bishop is both chair of the National Party Campaign Committee, dependent on business donations, and as Infrastructure Minister decides which businesses get access to the fast track.

I've eaten in Michelin starred restaurants. The food was interesting, and it certainly was an experience, but in the end it was a lot of money to eat foams, airs, gels, and to not have anything to actually bite into.
