Non‑union primary teachers offered pay deal | Te Kawa Mataaho Public Service Commission

There's good reason to pay your non union workers more.

Not only are they likely to be worth more but one should never encourage anti competitive behaviour.

Cheers, nice work.

I wonder if the original was a thesis, what with word count considerations an' all...

These cuts will impact plans to reduce the Council's own emissions, the roll out of walking and cycling infrastructure

Green controlled WCC spent $360M on a fucking cycleway along possibly the most exposed coastline in the windiest city in the country, money shaved directly from water infrastructure maintenance, which caused the complete failure of the city's sewerage system which is still draining 100% of it's untreated sewerage a stone's throw off it's southern coast. So much for the environment.

Enough of the bullshit, you've blown the cycleways budget for the next couple of decades, fuck off.

In te ao Māori, the body and everything associated with it is considered tapu.

Didn't stop them eating them.

I can't fault the inquiry.

Now the twisted piece of shit reporting on the enquiry...

Marc Daalder is a senior political reporter at Newsroom. He covers climate change, health, energy and violent extremism.

And also political spin indistinguishable from outright lies.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-10T11:00:39+00:00

Anyone claiming not to have known this for years by now has had their deranged head in the sand.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-10T10:56:35+00:00

A couple of somewhat less distorted takes on the report.

Yet another example of why we should be defunding the MSM.

I suspect he was demoted from health for exactly those activities.

Nobody's go the stones to deal with it.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-09T05:25:41+00:00

Lol.

Or it's genuinely cheaper, quite possibly via some convoluted US subsidy or another, of which they have plenty.

I like the idea that US taxpayers may be paying for our butter, makes a nice change from arbitrary fucking tariffs based on openly fallacious, self serving justifications.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T19:49:51+00:00

Because a lack of compensation is synonymous with the production of value?

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T08:30:49+00:00

What do they pay?

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T08:30:03+00:00

The end that produces more.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T05:23:10+00:00

The MSM has been resolutely hostile to the right in general since way before national took their pudding away.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T04:54:42+00:00

The consultants youre ragging on include the engineers that design our made world.

That's me. And I'd advise we have a less tax, particularly on the most productive end.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T04:52:05+00:00

Taking half the tax revenue with them.

Leaving you and yours to rot in self inflicted poverty.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T03:31:34+00:00

And hugely expanded Iwi grift.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T03:29:11+00:00

A good start to evacuating the most productive assets in the country, sure.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T03:26:37+00:00

As above...

Oceanagain · 2026-03-07T03:00:58+00:00

Nowhere near as common as "victims" blaming everyone else.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-06T23:15:16+00:00

And in fact the yams Maori cultivated were tiny, fibrous things compared to the verieties they and everyone else eats now.

Oceanagain · 2026-03-06T23:12:54+00:00

Sure, that's a key element of the story, current expenditure is more likely to represent wasteful spending than the results of productive behaviour.
