The arguments for our business to make a little more money next year are so much more compelling than the arguments for allowing our species to survive more than a couple of generations

Where are the advocates for the trickle-up economy: where you give the poor people all the money and rich people sell them goods and services?
#nzpol
If you are a government, asserting that climate change is important, but not as important as making money, is the stupidest of all policy positions to take.

It should be a given that we don't catch an infection at hospital but here we are, begging for safe access to basic healthcare!

DECK THE HALLS WITH PROPER STAFFING
PRESS RELEASE:
The Government's announcement that it's rejecting all of the Climate Change Commission’s emissions target recommendations is morally bankrupt.

It's just great that NZ got to prove how racist we were rather than solve our 3 waters issues

Last month I spoke with a Spanish language outlet about “Reflections on the mega #strike of public sector workers in Aotearoa (New Zealand)”. Non-Spanish speakers interested in what I had to say could use the translate function in their browser

It's absolutely clear that #Aotearoa / #NewZealand could do far more to meet our #climate change commitments. Our current government has substantially reduced our efforts and it's time to pick the baton up off the track and start running again. #climatechange #nzpol

Bishop's Bridge Of Broken Dreams. My #nzpol cartoon for NZListener.
⁂ Article
Charter schools cost $153 million for 427 students, or $358k per student
To be fair, that’s $153m over 4 years and the student numbers will probably increase. Let’s pretend there were 1000 students, so that’s 153,000,000 / 4 / 1000 = $38k per student per year.
For the rest of the school system, the govt spends ~$10k per student per year, see page 10, point 1.2. So Charter schools still cost nearly 4x as much and they don’t even work.

I knew that dog turd needed more road cones @ptoothfish

Nearly six months after its launch with much fanfare, the Government's road cone hotline is receiving an average of just three reports a day. Only a tiny proportion of tips investigated find too many cones, with some follow up visits discovering more cones are needed.
