The history of the hoodie is interesting...from monks to Rocky Balboa...it seems somewhat churlish to seek to ban

*lol* Shep. I think it only reasonable that all teachers wear their academic regalia this Friday in solidarity wiff da youff !

Thank you for mentioning that giovanni.
2.67 million in extra money for teacher aide support for students with high health needs, 2.4 million to maintain "maintain levels of learning support for students with physical disabilities"
As a parent of a child who receives ORRS funding...and whose child requires a teacher aide this is indeed good news. I wonder if it will allow my son to attend school on a full time basis...or if I will be required to pay for the extra aide time as is expected now.

Yeah well..*.shamelessly lifted from The Standard* Peters' post budget address...:
Did you know that John Key himself in his Wellington parliamentary office employs has 36 people?… they cost the taxpayer, every year… over seven million dollars… Teams of PR people and spin doctors and policy advisers and what for? There is no policy! …
That had better not be spent just on salaries...because that would be in the out of touch zone.

While I hate to say it, if I'm going to suffer through prime time television news and current affairs One tends to win out by default.
'Eye to eye 'on Maori TV sunday at 6:30 pm is always fun,Craig.

I suspect they've also learnt a little from last year where they released their student loan policy, and then got absolutely trumped by Labour's policy a few days later.
Well Kyle, Labour has announced its tax policy. There is no reason now why it can't be trumped...is there?

However, lets start with getting rid of the socialist traversty called Working for Families.
I have a feeling Andrew, that I heard Key inform Ryan just before 10:00 am this morning that this began as a National Party policy.
You may wish to check. *s*
It is easy, of course, to criticise and much more difficult to be state what the alternative would be. Let alone the consequences.

it urks me when we are supposed to be grateful for someone returning our own money to us!
Perhaps then Andrew you would be so kind as to suggest a figure that would be appropriate for the Govt to appropriate from folks income.

According to John Key, we may have to wait until only four weeks out from the election for a look at National's tax policy
Indeed and it seems the media ,at least in part, are begining to tire of his apparent inability to be anything like precise. Campbell said he was
"as slippery as a snake in wet grass"
last night, Plunket tried to pin that snake down this morning and even the normally calm Ryan sounded somewhat exasperated later on.
I am not sure the electorate is particularly well served when huge amounts of policy are dumped in the period immediately before an election.
The elector is even less well served when no policy at all is forthcoming.
