But, also, it’s some of the other, somewhat disturbing stuff, she’s written about her children.
That's a really poor article, and the examples she brings from the blog are either taken out of context or misunderstood (like, the author mistakes one son for his older brother, or identifies as the son somebody who was just a climbing partner.). There have been many good critiques of the post though. Like this one.

Meanwhile, the Dom Post exclaims "NATIONAL STANDARDS: HOW YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL RATES
Praising Hartevelt's "good reporting" may be gracious but it is also quite misguided, since at the same time as he appears to be saying look, a school is not only those things, and you have to consider what it does for the most vulnerable, his paper sells the tables that directly harm the right to an education of those very same kids. It's hypocrisy of the highest order.

Yes, the explanation came some days after I posted that. And I'm not alleging any sort of conspiracy.

The detail of the speech having been workshopped at Kiwi Foo is almost too good to be true.

there's no reason we shouldn't look to find way to turn NZ's reputation as an honest independent and incorruptible nation into money. After all, it works for the Swiss.
Yes, Switzerland is honest, independent and incorruptible, and not at all a place where people of other nationalities hide their money.

I would suggest killing the subsidy and letting the universities set fees at market rates would help with that.
Let's only have rich scientists!
