Something Australia have done/are doing right
It is but the market would be tight in this economy.
We are a leader in recreational boats especially alloy pontoon boats. Several established builders exporting world wide, mostly from Invercargill.
no such thing as tight military economy
There is here. We only build pretty small stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if supply military, we supply UN.
This is exactly what three waters was proposed to solve. Agree with the increase infra bit
Sounds great in theory, not in practice.This is exactly what three waters was proposed to solve. Agree with the increase infra bit
Having lived on only tank water, a family will need to be able to store at least 15000 gallons or they will run dry. How do you do that in multi unit developments with no backyard to speak of, or apartments?

'We're the ones that are saving the school lunch programme' - David Seymour
The Act leader says the Labour Party didn't set aside funds for school lunches after 2024.
i mean, he’s such a slimy little weasel but everyone piping up about him cancelling free lunches when they KNEW it was coming to an end and there was no plans ormoney for it to be continued anyway is a fucking outrage.
The actual article. I know a clip was posted earlier.

Minister left $46b benefit of smokefree reforms out of Cabinet paper
Without the smokefree reforms passed in 2022, New Zealand would only reach its goal of a five percent smoking rate in 2061, officials told Casey Costello

It wasn't coming to an end. Esp if they see the policy working. This type of budgeting happens constantly with the NZ govt of all flavours.'We're the ones that are saving the school lunch programme' - David Seymour

sure,
but for those politicians claiming he was cancelling something that was a given going forward when they knew that wasn’t the case is shit.
the covid money was all spent and school lunches beyond this year were not in labours budget.
i have zero doubt they would have been continued though, more than likely in a version closer to what seymour says he will deliver.
downsized and more targeted.
More targeted? Fucking give me a break. They just removed the funding for the StatsNZ data collection. The new version will be shit. It should be expanded not shrunk.
I should have said, any new programme Seymour is involved in will be worse. He doesn't believe in the policy. Also, the current policy is targeted.
From the data that has been reported it appears to be one of the most effective/efficient policies we have as far as targeting and wastage.

free school lunches ARE being continued.
under labours plan they WERE NOT.
i can tell you there’s hundreds of kids at naenae college that apparently have money for pies and energy drinks before and after school, but not for lunches? i would assume many parts of the country are similar.
is that $20 a day on junk food?
tons of kids across the country don’t NEED free lunches.
i do think free lunches are great and everyone should be entitled to them, but i also don’t think people who spend their rent money on pokies should have their rent paid by the government.
at some point we need to learn to be responsible for ourselves.
I thought you weren't allowed within 500 meters of schools, why are you hanging outside Naenae college?

The policy would have been further funded had labour retained power.
Sure, there are probably lots of kids that don't need it. But there are 1000s and 1000s of kids that do. Principles and teachers have said the policy has been helping.
The rest of your rant is weird. On the one had free lunches are good, but also kids are buying junk food and we should be responsible for ourselves. Lol.
WE do have a junk food problem. But this is a different area for targeting.
One reason to expand the lunches in school program is knowing that kids will be eating a healthy main meal.
I don't know if you've seen parent provided lunches, but lots of parents think packet food is a good source of nutrition.

Why not expand the lunch program to be part of the school curriculum, hands on learning about growing food, nutrition and then cooking.
undernutrition and malnutrition have massive effects on neuro development that can last for generations.
