There was a great working system previously. Seymour arrogantly imposed a supplier and contract that has proven disastrous. He overrode the recommendations of MBIE not to use Compass.

Corruption, privatisation failure and a huge waste of taxpayer's money, for the private gain.

This is who they are

Speaking of corrupt disasters this keeps getting worse and worse

So wiz eye rolls and frank laughs about a student getting hospital treatment for bad burns. Nice.

"Middle New Zealand" and "the average Kiwi" are code for "angry little small-cocked white guys who have had it easy and don't want anyone else to get a leg up".

Sounds like you have some insecurities coming out mate

Mate, too much crying wolf so we just laugh and ignore the posts of the forever offended.

Someone burns themselves at dinner every night somewhere in NZ… bet it happened under Labour as well.

Tomorrow we will hear a kid choked on a carrot stick and that will be the govts fault as well

Have you tried blaming Seymour for the Warriors loss on the weekend? Must be a link you can get all upset about!

Honestly, these free lunches are more trouble than they’re worth

Just do a daily drop off of fresh fruit, bread and spreads

If people want to eat it, have as much as they want

Haven’t lived back home for a very long time so I’m not across this school lunch topic.
But I agree wouldn’t Sandwiches and Fruit be an easier option?
Or I’m I missing issues with shelf life / Workforce/budget etc that actually makes these hot lunches a better option.

"Someone burns themselves at dinner every night somewhere in NZ… bet it happened under Labour as well." - as rizzah says, Strawman from the start. Rizzah was generous, I don't think you're better than that.

"Have you tried blaming Seymour for the Warriors loss on the weekend? Must be a link you can get all upset about!" Well, if Seymour was in charge he would have sold off JFH, Barney, Webby, RTS, and most of the younger players and the private company he got to take over the contract would be supplying players from the under 15s b grade rugby and then blame everyone else for the horrendous loss saying the answer is more privatisation not less.

You blaming the govt for a hot pie burn is the best thing I've ever seen. Did you get an ice cream headache from school milk once and turn into a life long anarchist?

I find this whole lunches debate weird.

Labour like to take away local control and centrally run everything - 3 waters; health NZ reforms, etc.

ACT is the opposite and are putting local input into health Nz again.

Yet here we have this weird set up where ACT moves to a central supplier and we get lefties wanting to decentralise it and go local. It’s Health MZ in reverse. Just weird. It could easily been both parties arguing for the exact opposite.

At least we all agree big, cumbersome, centrally controlled organisation can’t compete doing things vs smaller and local, which allows for individualism.
I’ve said consistently from the start when supplying food you can’t keep everyone happy ever and it’s all pretty predictable.

Re Warriors: the right would have KPI’s and make sure everyone performs. May be teething problems but continuous improvement over time.

The left are against performance pay and would have all players paid equally. If players didn’t deliver every week, it’s all good as long as they tried their best. Never mind, they all get participation medals no matter what.

ACT are about greed and privatisation only. That is their sole mission and reason for existence. To sell everything off. Which you know very well.

If you’re living in Mooloolaba and insulting NZ taxpayers on how they feel about how their taxes are spent, then your opinion isn’t worth much

I am a NZ tax payer you clown.

I am hearing that the ferry cancelation costs are up over $800m now.....

Yep. What a fucking shitshow. Great work this extreme right ideological coalition. Ideology above all, extraction of wealth above all.

Just 3 days ago $300m set aside.

And saved a $3b blowout (before even starting so maybe double that) so a man with your financial acumen would know we’re dodged a massive bullet no matter the short term cost.

Government's iRex ferry cancellation costed at $300 million - for now

Documents reveal how much the government set aside after ministers ended a contract to build two new Interislanders.

No, a $1.5b blow out.

If you wanna argue you could at least grasp the facts.

Mate, you jumped ship.

One of the big lefties on here, pro public transport and the environment and you scuttled off to the right wing paradise where they plundering the environment to make themselves rich and build massive motorways everywhere!



(Yes, I’m jealous)

Quoting the article I posted as a source from reputable media:

‘The contract, known as iRex, was cancelled with Hyundai shortly after the Coalition came to power, citing a $3 billion cost blowout’

Keep throwing around unsubstantiated $800m figures though
