The $300,000 mentioned is the total value of the debt owed by the eight properties that the Auckland Council is trying to recover through the High Court. Her total debt only accounts for $11,000 of that.

So old Gerry(mandering) Brownlee is promising to audit builders that did shoddy EQC work... Work that the builders say was rushed by the EQC, with inadequate oversight and budget. Let's play "shift the blame around and see where it sticks"!

Are they really dumb enough to try replacing him? i mean i don't think anyone else would be as popular, even if his 'brand' has been damaged recently.

gently caress that's cynical. I think Paula Bennett could give Andrew Little a run for his money, but none of the other Nat party people could, and I think Steven Joyce would get the leadership over her at the moment.

Helen Clark was criticised for not having a clear successor, so it makes sense for them to be wary of the dependence on Key. lol at that stat about 80% of wealthy ceos think Key is in touch with the common man.

When Her Maj finally kicks the bucket it's going to trigger a debate on the future of New Zealand, whether we continue to be a constitiutional monarchy or turn into a republic. That's probably going to be the best time to bring up changing the flag. Also this was triggering me so I reorganised it.

The difference is it's socially acceptable to judge a huge, varied group of people by their ethnicity as long as they're white enough looking.

The whole graph just seems racist and pointless. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a graph with economic divisions or something, like categorising students based on how much their parents make? It doesn't really tell you anything except that poor schools are filled with maori and pacific islanders, when the problem is that poor schools are filled with poor people. Or is it meant to show that high decile schools are racist? Or what?

Decile is a blunt measure for sure, but its somewhat representative of the SES of the community.

I was actually under the impression deciles were determined by the amount of funding the schools got or something, the concept wasn't explained clearly when I was at manurewa high. That makes sense then.

It works best for fairly homogenous communities but most of the deciles in the middle are actually just very diverse schools. Like the one I worked at in Wellington was a decile 7 but if you excluded 1/3 of the kids (the ones who lived up on the hills) it would be been like a decile 1 or 2. There weren't many kids in the middle. The result was that the school dealt with a lot of the same issues as low decile schools but didn't receive the funding, while it also couldn't rely on the school fees for income like decile 10 schools. So yeah, blunt measure, there are better options available but gently caress giving this government the opportunity to change the way schools are funded.

^^^ the better your school does the more funding you get - you can't argue with merit!  Poor school district -> Lower decile school -> more public funding per student due to lack of ability to rely on school fees from the district.

Most of that except for the teacher salary part. They are set from the collective agreement and don't vary from school to school ( there are some exceptions defined within the contract but they won't apply in your scenario). Of course the high decile school can offer a lot of other non salary benefits and support.

Except when it's a school like One Tree Hill College, who propose a new zone to meet increasing demand from areas that just outside their zoning district, at which point shithead sockpuppets like David Seymour, who argues for Charter Schools because they "provide choice" suddenly move against them because apparently parents having choice is not desirable. Can't provide a school like OTH, with a demographic made up mostly of those people, as a possible option for the well-to-do parents, right?

Yeah the zoning laws are kinda hosed. If you're the first school in an area to have to draw up a zone (meaning you're already the school everyone wants to go to) then you basically get to cut out the poor areas and create a nice little white/middle class island in your community. The school board and the principal have to "consult" the community on the proposed zones but that's it. You can end up with families living 200m from the school considered out of zone.
