Busytown: School bully, in reply to ,
Although I was surprised it was Rentokill in the UK, I was happy that it is deemed necessary to supply school Lunch over there. Seems like they have done it foreva.
I bet if the kids are fed from an early age, future crime will drop as a by product. -
All because she couldn’t be succinct or precise.
Her Wikipedia Entry has some enlightening info that could explain her obfuscation.
It may be a hangover from her days of "charging per word",to justify obscene charges ;)Parata's consultancy firm was contracted to recommend the best options for providing "ongoing high quality Maori advice" to chief executive Christine Rankin and senior managers at Work and Income in 1999, at a cost of $207,500. The expenditure was criticised by Green MP Rod Donald, as the Maori unemployment rate rose during this period from 27 to 29%.[9] The firm also attracted controversy when National MP Murray McCully criticised the spending of $240,000 by the Ministry of Economic Development for training courses on the Treaty of Waitangi run by the company in 2003.[10]
In 2001, Parata was appointed to the Māori Television Service Board.[11] She resigned within two months, reportedly blaming a "lack of funding" for the new Maori TV channel.

Hard News: Things worth knowing, in reply to Chris Waugh,
and I do have to wonder just what Oravida was hoping to get out of all this.
I suspect Labour are interested to see if indeed Oravida get something too and just what that sort of cronyism will do to the rest of us.

Well I’m over wondering who paid for dinner , can’t they at least ask more relevant questions ?
Think a little further than your perception seeing as there are many ways to unravel a story that has had the usual, "nothing to see here, move along" responses from Collins and Key. The way in which the opposition has often been stifled with the Speaker in the House continuously giving advice to National or has even interpreted answers for National and has also demanded very basic questions so as not to confuse his poor wee dears in National, has meant that one simple unanswered question has to be teased until the answer is caught somewhere. Just as Collins had today in her U Turn once discovered. National are good at obfuscation, I'd actually suggest that is more important to them than telling the public anything about their intended agenda. The question may sound trivial to you but it has a reason for being asked. Whether it was the business or the Government in China could make a hell of a difference as to what was being discussed other than the "chats about what a lovely country NZ is"
and thus what sort of meeting it actually was. -
That waffle suggested to me that funding will come out of state Schools and head into Charter PPP schools.That will eliminate the $2 out of $5 expense for property which can eventually be flicked off. With the rules already completely different for assessing teachers within their own system and check ups, they could easily declare that they are highly successful thus deserving of better funding. Once students move over to Charter Schools, out go the Union. The Academy up in Kaitaia I noticed complete with military style insignia that has opened in an old windowless wallpaper shop looked about as comfortable as a public toilet. But it would save this Govt money!

Water seems to me to be one of China’s biggest problems.
And back full circle to Canterbury plains.Adams want water for her cows which in turn produces milk powder which in turns helps Collins and Co to produce milk products which in turn helps Orivida. Percieved interest much? With another conflict (in my book ) being Speaker of the House who makes sure things run smoothly for National interests. People don't wish to call him biased but I will.
