  • Hard News: Dead Elephant Frenzy,

    Anyone else think the photo in the Herald last week of Kashin being craned into her final resting place was a little unnecessary ?

    My kids were a bit disturbed by it when they were looking through the paper looking for 'news' to take to school.

  • Hard News: Friday Ideas,

    PA's very own Mr Slack was spotted looking very dapper in his jacket and Daffodil this morning taking photos from the Three Lamps traffic islands....

  • Speaker: KidsCan comes back,

    I merely meant that as it is so difficult to obtain funding for these, they must have been pretty good at convincing funders to do exactly that.

    To the tune of $770k in fact, very impressive.

    A quick google and you'll find many many applications and awards from charitable trusts to KC over the last couple of years.
    They seem to all be "for the provision of raincoats and shoes to children".

    I have yet to find one tagged as for the provision of admin costs or salaries.

    Russell - Is Rick likely to respond to any of these questions or has he had his final say on the matter ?

  • Speaker: KidsCan comes back,

    I'm interested is this "tagging" of donations for admin purposes only.

    If I'm reading this correctly you have donors who have given $770k to the charity and specifically said "but don't spend it on the kids"

    Also the numbers don't seem to add up $331, 187 + $34,550 = $770,901 ? Or I may have missed something there, should that second figure be $334,550

  • Hard News: A voice of reason and authority,

    I think we can grade Auckland Grammar and Kelston principals John Morris and Steve Watt F for epic fail.

    Couldn't agree more Craig. There's also a certain irony in all this that Mr Johnny Morris is in fact an Old Boy AND ex-teacher from Kelston Boys.

    Did he really need to appear on breakfast TV this morning ?

  • Southerly: Bay Area Blues,

    the people sleeping on the traffic islands.

    I was told they were early earthquake warning detectors employed by the state.

  • Hard News: Where your money goes,

    Question for Rick

    Can you talk me through the relatoinship between Kids Can Trust and Invitation Only Events limited and how this relationship works ?

    Thanks

    Hope they're a cost-effective recruiting mechanism

    According to Close-Up last week on this topic, they are the worst of the worst. It can be up to a years worth of your Direct Credits before the Charity sees any of it.
