OnPoint: Because Statistical Rigour, in reply to Steve Parks,
Dim Post also has a look at that class size
and his post before that one shows a shocking relationship between notional standards and decile.

I think the current debate about poverty and the results in lower Decile schools should be looked at . I don't understand why we are not directly debating those links.
Rodney Hide knows all about this. It's because poor families don't care enough. You can tell cos they don't eat porridge.

a democracy that allowed the population base of Christchurch to interfere in the lives of people who lived in North Otago a 180 kms away.

What if, in 2016, the sacked ECan councillors are voted back in?
Look for the length of time that water rights can be granted for, before then. As part of the Auckland region law changes, some were extended to 35 years so Watercare's functions could be privatised for that length of time if the stars aligned politically at local level. Matter of time..

Our ETS scheme subsidises polluters more transparently perhaps - because taxpayers as a whole pick up the tab for our international obligations.
But under-taxing the wealthy - and this is not a uniquely US problem - does exactly the same in reducing their contribution to shared obligations like social security, health and education which everone else then pays for a larger share of.
Unless you're a pimply libertarian who believes society doesn't exist, and that my own income happens in a vacuum.

Speaker: The Democracy-Free Zone, in reply to Bart Janssen,
But this leadership most definitely believes the change should be managed for you and you do not need to be consulted.
On Maori water rights too. Good faith my arse.
