OnPoint: Spending "Cap" is Fiscal Anorexia, in reply to HenryB,
What I clumsily meant was that when you cut expenditure a la Ruth, it may make the books look better for a while but sooner or later you are going to have to spend money on fixing things that simply wear out.
This can be proven in our case here. Water and electricity lines, and hospitals (Starship needs to be rebuilt already!) spring to mind. -
Hard News: The Next Labour Leader, in reply to Joe Wylie,
Cue the 1000nzd a day + Shipley Review Board! Oh, sorry not their job...

OK, pushing it a bit, technically it's a photo, I scanned a thing I did and futzed with it. /awaits expulsion ;-)/

It's not austerity. Never have I seen an example of Govt. actually saving money by reducing spending, please provide me with one. It is simply a transfer, as always, into power needing a pet project. Blinglish has been tinkering away in education since he got the leadership shove.
As I have said before, what is broken? If education outcomes are below a scientifically measurable level, then simply pretending to part turn the tap off is never going to improve outcomes.
It is cult behaviour. Repeat, fail, repeat. -
Oh dear the media are calling the Labour leader selection...a primary.

Funny where people turn up http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/christchurch-earthquake-2011/5309089/Jenny-Shipley-on-Cera-review-panel
What does the review panel do anyway?
Oh and wouldn't it be a better idea to centralise all efforts under one roof, one website, one dare I say it, logo?

Or might too many toes be trod upon without all that door knocking going on?
"We can't just assume everyone knows what assistance is available and is able to access it easily...
Epic fail right there no? There is an 0800 number but really, all the focus seems to be on the walkway and demolishing commercial buildings, from the media.

Not a good look. -
OnPoint: Spending "Cap" is Fiscal Anorexia, in reply to Sacha,
You bet, but I thought they (them, that lot) outlawed satire here, while retaining toxic shock jocks for their own purposes ;-)

I started futzing with the levels due to Sophie's dreadlocks post on the other thread.
-
I was wondering if we might play with the levels. Oops wrong thread. Eek I don't know how to transfer to Colour is the New Black.

I'll not doff cap for anyone...(Brass)
Doff cap.
