    Sir John did a deal with the maori party despite not needing them.

    lots of taxpayer money funnelled into second-tier whanau ora schemes and charter schools.

    I don't always agree with Balance. However, in a democracy, the government should continuously be held to account for its actions and for its delivery of its platform promises.

    For example, will it kick the can down the street again in relation to housing as it has already on a capital gains tax? To make itself electable it has basically become a National Party Lite

    It is a glorious day - go take the dog for a walk, dig your veggie garden, water some flowers. Or maybe even surprise Mrs Balance with an afternoon bonk.

    You are making a lot of assumptions there. Anyway, it always makes me chuckle when a poster makes a post suggesting that other posters should be doing something else!

    It's an agreement to 'agree to agree to disagree', according to the female half-leader. Fungus says - Well put lady.

    Like I’m the only one here who makes wild assumptions. That’s funny.

    Balance took my comments OK, so not sure why they put your jockeys in a knot.

    You have a lovely day

    I watched Sunday on TV One last night. One of the items covered was the $11miilion to the Green School. During the interview with the owners they were asked if they had met directly with Minister Shaw. Not directly, they disclosed, but via a Zoom video . I have issues with this. It is not, in my opinion, right ( or wise )that such direct lobbying occur which results in taxpayers money being dispersed.
    He should not be a minister

    Will do. I have just drawn up a new list of kitchen chores for "her indoors". I am expecting great meals today.

    I agree with you Sgt Pepper. I was quite shocked to hear about that on Sunday. In fact I think the whole thing is a fiasco and no Government money should be put forward for something that is simply an idea from wealthy greenies that have zero experience in running an education facility. Meanwhile the primary schools in the wider area have unsuitable buildings to work in.
