‘Well embedded’: National MP now admits being member of 'cult' under FBI sex abuse probe

Hamish Campbell last week claimed his connection to the group was through family.

I’ve mentioned plenty on here that I think there should be an inquiry or at least investigation into historic abuse allegations against people in this particular party. I think this just further enhances my view on this

ANZ have blinked first and dropped their 6, 12 and 18 month mortgage rates.

ASB, BNZ, Co-Operative, Heartland, KiwiBank and Westpac have now all announced they're joining ANZ and are dropping mostly their shorter-term mortgage interest rates.

$10 million for 215 students in the charter school space

Interesting, because the core costs of having a child at a state school is just over $9,000 per child but, once you add in the teacher's, principal's and support staff salaries it increased to almost $35,000 per child according to the report from 2015 which was the subject to the article below. Add on inflation and salary increases in the next ten years and $46,500 per charter child would probably be the same as in state schools. But NZIE wouldn't have an agenda against charter schools and not be comparing apples with apples by "forgetting" there's a difference between "core costs" and those adjusted after salaries have been included? Surely not!!!

The real cost of 'free' education: $35k

The cost of a 'free' education in NZ is $35,000 - and that's raised concerns some children won't return to school next week because their families can't afford it.

Guess probably is the operative word as we’re talking about 10 years into the future what you’re coming to those figures on. Who knows if those factors you mentioned like inflation would cause the cost around a charter school to rise also. If these figures are to come to fruition, I could see many kids not getting the privilege of going to a good school

very interesting as 215 x $45,000 puts us at $9m. Very close to the $10m stated.

A sitting MP posts absurd stuff and nothing to see here. We don’t engage if there’s nothing illegal…

Now this no name gets highlighted

I thought we already knew he was part of that group? My read on it was the new “article” was re-reporting (often done when journalists go on holiday…)
