Govt told free school lunches have profound effect

[Lilith7]

And they were told that BEFORE they made the cuts. So they knew the cuts were going to have an impact on the well being of kids, but went ahead anyway.

What the hell is wrong with these idiots - just feed the kids for pity's sake! 
Cost doesn't matter since whatever it may be, its cheap at the price if it means kids are better able to learn; that benefits all of us. How the devil can they deliberately ignore this, knowing the result.

I do so hope this govt is on track to be a one term govt...

I'm hoping for an early election as more and more of the populace realizes that this government has no idea how to run a government for the good of the people in general.

Greed and austerity, a bad formula to head into the future with and yet that is how they think. Dump them as soon as possible.

Luxon needs to be interrogated like Trump was the other day., he's as slimy as Trump is any day.

That may happen when Seymour tosses his toys out of the cot over the Treaty Principles bill

I hope so; surely even now after all these decades of Neo Liberalism, greed can't still hold such an appeal when the unfair effects of it have become so very clear. 

Surely we can be better than this as a country..

The point where deputy PMship transfers from Winston to Seymour is another potential trigger point.

And that's a horrible thought...I wonder, if the entire country could go on strike in protest...

I'm trying hard not to imagine second-class technician Rimmer representing New Zealand as Deputy Prime Minister

It's funny and terrifying all at the same time...
