__We’ve just established that the police will arrest someone if they wish to, NZBORA or no__
No actually we haven't established that the NZ police regularly engage in arbitrary arrests.
I doubt the words 'will' and 'regularly' mean the same thing.

It's impoverished education rather than pressure cooker. Like boiling every kind of food until it is uniform grey sludge. We deserve better than gruel.

But if we are going to spend money testing then we need to spend ten times more money assisting those who aren't going to be ready.
And with constrained budget and staff, the money spent on testing is subtracted from the already inadequate resources for remedial action. Schools already know which students need that investment. Sensible leaders would find ways to support that better, not undermine it as this govt is hellbent on doing.
