Hypocrisy at its finest -

[Jan]

If that was the case, then the quality of lunches delivered was a local issue, not a government one, surely?

Not for Jan, if it involves a Labour government...

My point was it shouldn’t be a political football - I saw the lunches under labour  - I have volunteered for 15 years at the locAl low decile school - the lunches for the week out of town were frozen - the contractor was being paid $20 a meal and as I previously said a thawed fish finger on a pile of pre frozen cole slaw - or a polystyrene box with a tablespoon of cold tinned spaghetti to be eaten with fingers - our headmaster banged his head against the wall 
Seymour is feeding all kids including pre school kids which has to be better than just one third of the school kids - but of course that point does not receive acknowledgment.
Recently Popeye chicken has opened in NZ - the parent company are gobsmacked at the queues forming everyday for their very expensive rubbish - there are obviously a lot of children not starving as Jan Tineti claims and the families who City Mission and Butter Bean Dave are desperately needing help - instead of blanket feeding kids at school the money should go to the Social Supermarkets which Dave and City Mission are developing - the family get their card and they can go to the social supermarket and shop - the kids can get Weetbix and milk and bread and fillings and fruit and meat and veggies with help to prepare a good easy meal- it’s a brilliant concept 
You are absolutely incorrect Pracktika - politics do not come before our most vulnerable kids -
