What is even more interesting is that the roll of that school is comprised by mainly foreign students or so I have been informed.

If true, that makes this even more incomprehensible. Bearing in mind that the no foreign students are allowed in to study in our Universities and Polytechs at the moment, will we also see a special treatment for the Green students at the border. Wouldn't surprise me. What a bloody fiasco

Disgusting and repugnant hypocrisy of the highest order from the Greens & Cindy.
It's all about symbolism to them - the so-called 'Be Kind' & 'Care for others' messages stop at their slogans and platitudes.

Kealy Warren, acting principal of Marfell Community School - a low decile school in nearby New Plymouth, couldn't believe the news.
"I felt physically sick, I wanted to vomit. I could not believe we were being so disrespected in favour of an elitist private school.''
She says it sent a message of worthlessness to her students.
"I'm heartbroken for our beautiful children that have been told yet again you're the bottom of the heap stay there - what are you going to amount to?
"You're the bottom of the heap, just stay there, you're not going to add to the economy when you grow up so sit there in your leaky classroom,'' she says.
I think the decision to invest was partly made upon the ability to grow the export education market. Obviously that won't occur until we allow new foreign students to pass through the border, for which thus far there appears to be no timetable.
This is a very hypocritical stance for the Greens to take, and probably was not a wise move leading up to an election. Perhaps they've sealed their fate.
The Green School is an International School based on a similar school in Bali. A couple of ex pats liked the idea so came back to NZ to build a school for their kids.
It is an elitist school, whoever signed off the funding needs to go. Not only Shaw but the Labour MP who ticked the box.

It really is "Animal Farm' scenario.
The pigs eventually learn to walk on two legs, mirroring the humans that used to control the farm before the revolution. Teaching the sheep the new chant of "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better" is another reminder of how the sheep are used to consolidate the pig power over the farm.
If the sheep in NZ do not see through the audaciously disgusting hypocrisy of this government of depriving schools desperately needing upgrades by providing funds to elitist schools instead, the sheep deserve to go to the slaughter houses in future.
So here comes the explanation - intended to insult everyone but especially the schools screaming out for better premises for their students:
This is Shaw :
It's just a building, he says.
"In terms of the infrastructure spend, it is in many ways just another construction project.''
Even Education Minister Chris Hipkins was ducking for cover when asked about it.
"It's not necessarily a project I would have prioritised. That was something the Green Party advocated quite strongly for.
"It was one of their wins, if you like, out of the shovel-ready project area, and so that's a question for them.''
As usual, Cindy is no where to be seen and is refusing to answer questions from reporters. Busy with the covid-19 outbreak in Auckland, see?
Just wait for Monday when Hoskings get stuck in when she fronts with her regular Monday morning propaganda sessions with the media. :D

Open letter to Cindy to spend same amount per student on her students as government has given to the private elitist Greens school.
Let’s see how kind & caring Cindy is when she responds to the open letter, shall we?
7 new cases from isolation, all from the same flight and all confirmed from day 3 test. Yet we have a Health Minister who said only 2 days ago that the day 3 tests are not important, when he tried to justify the stuff ups with thousands not being tested.
If these 7 individuals had not been tested on day 3, they would have been allowed to use lifts, lobby, hallways and interact with food delivery people as well as mingle with security guards and other people in isolation, when doing outdoor exercises.
Chris Hipkins should seriously reconsider his position as Health Minister in charge of this monumental stuff up and making such ill informed comments.
Grant Robertson currently bullshi**ing his way through the Green School as a "construction project". For once the media clearly aren't buying it.
This is an absolute travesty and gives the forks to all those schools who have to fight tooth and nail to get basic buildings and do their fund raising to supply the shortfall in order to provide basic education.
Have the Greens just exposed themselves as being the most elitist of all the parties. Anything "green" trumps all else?
