Hang on, weren’t they all ‘New Wave’?
An insult like that would get you in trouble in 1978.
Kinda true for some, though. Graham Parker was an old pub rocker and the Only Ones weren't really punk. No one in a punk band could play that lead break.

Can I just say that it's telling and admirable the way you've all gone for the actual policy issue, rather than pontificating about who won and lost?

Hard News: Briefing, blaming, backing down, in reply to Paul Williams,
Fair enough. In my experience, they mightn’t be “shopping” policy, they could, but they could equally just be reviving advice from the past, advice that’s not politically expedient, in the hope that circumstances change
Apparently they've held this view since 2009, but if they had any firmer ideas on how the "quality" might be pursued, Parata wasn't able to articulate them.
And at any rate, the results of the way the formula was applied seem to have come as a surprise to everyone concerned. When you have an intermediate school working out that it would lose seven teachers, someone hasn't done their homework.

I also think, at the risk of inviting your collective ire, Treasury should be focused on testing the relative merits of different spending options. I think that’s part of their job.
Oh, quite. Whether it should be actively shopping policy like this is another matter.

Bravo.
FWIW, Roughan is one of the stable of editorial writers. Working out out which ones are by him is a game I like to play at home.
