🙋🏽♀️There is no need to choose between funding Maori language training or maths training for teachers 🤬- a fairly constructed tax system & a sensible govt debt approach would mean we could have BOTH, not to mention funding critical infrastructure like the Dunedin hospital & others, a rail-enabled Inter Island ferry (surely the design could still be used & the contract re-instated thereby minimising the loss via cancellation fees? & get multi-party sign-off ...) All of these costly & stupid decisions are like a suicide pact 🤷🏾♀️
As for See-less & his truancy tirade - the nuanced data shows he either doesn't read it, or chooses to misrepresent it. It would seem schools would be better off BRUSHING UP ON THEIR TE REO instead of harassing parents & students ... just sayin'
🌻Also: Please go to the Parliament website & sign the petition AGAINST re-instating offshore oil & gas mining - if you DO oppose it of course! 😜 For some reason (!) there were only 5 days allowed, and now only 4 days left for submissions including the weekend - a suggested quick submission from Mountain Tui = "I ask that this bill NOT be passed. If it IS passed, I ask that the next government repeal it immediately and revoke all permits issued with NO compensation to permit holders." In the comments segment I mentioned moving away from fossil fuels to renewables, & prioritising climate change mitigation instead. Apparently submissions can be used by future govts, even if this one is bound & determined to do whatever their minority members want, regardless of any science, economics, or public opinion 🤷🏾♀️
