Hard News: Taking a very big gamble, in reply to Chris Waugh,
I'm pretty sure the fence would come off cheaper
the trick is you have to keep funding the ambulances while you build the fence, which takes many years

ah, snap

You can buy more ambulances at the bottom of the cliff if you stop paying to build the fence at the top. No more supporting local communities to reduce gambling outlets, that sort of thing. Just counselling the steady stream of victims.
That's what passes for cost-effectiveness in the eyes of some silly folk, including the evaluaton panel in this instance, perhaps. It's also consistent with the pressure applied across govt services to do 'more' with less. Simple solutions appeal to simpletons.

decile-10 private schools were getting as much as five times more funding than lower-decile schools as applications for help skyrocketed last year.
...In 2012, a total of 3418 of the 143,000 pupils who sat NCEA-level exams got special assistance. Private Auckland school King's College, which regularly tops national academic tables, had 180 pupils sitting NCEA exams last year. Of those 44 qualified for special exam conditions.
By comparison, neighbouring school Otahuhu College, which is decile 1 and had four times as many NCEA candidates in 2012, had no SAC applications.
