Tv1 news, 2 out of 5 children not attending school regularly.

I hope Jacinda acts like a good Aunty, and sorts that out quick smart.

Was that meant to be funny?😀

Ah Tim, l hope you are not getting your sufferance and your suffrage mixed up.

But it's deadly serious that 2 out of 5 kids are not attending school. Around Hastings it's blurred when it's holidays and when it's not.
It does not augur well for Nz, all part of the dumbing down of NZ.

I agree it’s a real issue - regular attendance I think is defined as attending 9 days each fortnight so not a high bar. I suspect some workplaces have experienced similar issues - there’s no longer any stigma attached to ringing in sick.

Hopefully Dr Sharma is successful in having his awful disingenuous parliamentary colleagues expelled from the Labour Party.

At todays caucus meeting Guarev will be like a Tendulkar going in to bat.

But he must expect an underarm bowl from Mallard, to take him out for a duck.

Just read that Dr Sharma has been subjected to yet more horrific bullying by the Labour Party, with meek colleagues rallying behind the bullies and expelling the honest doctor from the caucus for telling the truth. This will both validate and empower the bullies, ensuring that they will continue with the bullying of those around them - and the bullying will likely get worse. If you appease a bully in this way, you only embolden them.

Gaurev has been bowled out for now.

But has he been whacked out of the park?

Will it be the end of his career?

Will he just regard it as play delayed, due to bad light?

Can he play off a sticky wicket?

Will he be the next John A Lee, who attacked a Savage?

Horrific = being ignored and talked at with a raised voice.

Have some sympathy for the staff members who suffered from the doctors' bullying.

No need for a cricket analogy- football more appropriate- think own goal by Dr Plonker the former Labour MP.
