Peters is in for the betterment of man. Assuming that he is that man. I could see him signing up with National, sure - all depends on the kickbacks and the security of the position offered.

Vagabundo posted:A friend of mine writes for the Herald, and she said it's just a case of writing opinion pieces just to fill column inches. It must suck being in the politics section, due to being in limbo. Even for filler it is ignorant filler. They keep going out of their way ignoring how MMP works and why it is a good system. It doesn't matter if one party gets 49% when everybody else hates you and are willing to work together against you. That is the strength of MMP. You can easily argue that having a diverse coalition of views that can work with each other having the moral high ground.

Wanna see how many people in your area voted National? Spinoff did an interactive map of voting booths https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/27-09-2017/interactive-mapping-every-booths-votes-from-the-2017-general-election/

People that voted at my school overwhelmingly voted Labour. Both Labour and National saw an increase in the share of votes cast there from 3 years ago (with National, it was a whopping .4%, but with Labour, it was almost a 10% increase). Not that surprised, honestly. It's a fairly low-income area.

Looks like my polling station lost a third of its voters - almost all of them Greens. It's weird how the map of National/Labour voting is so closely aligned to a North/South divide. Almost as if the traditionally affluent Shore don't have homeless people camping in their bus stops.

Also interesting is how the Western suburbs that have been the most popular with middle-class and up white people who were priced out of the central suburbs have a much stronger Nat lean than they traditionally have had.

I'm pretty loving angry that Upper Harbour now contains Glenfield, Greenhithe and Massey. Awesome, half of West Auckland now contains half of the North Shore and we get Paula Bennett. Not to mention Labour half assed their candidates campaign and NZ first got more votes than the green candidate.

Teachers are going for a 14.5% pay increase and living allowance for teachers living in high cost areas. Good poo poo http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11929440

Keep in mind that the NZEI also covers Teachers' Aides, who are bulk-funded, and are paid peanuts despite being a really important part of some classrooms. Those people are loving rockstars and they definitely deserve to be treated better. Their pay conditions are absolutely obscene, quite frankly.

Here we go again. What makes teachers think they are worth that amount of money. When the inflation rate has been down in low single digits it is impossible to justify. Perhaps they need to look at the efficiencies. They already get many benefits. Where's the discussion on performance or productivity improvements or efficiencies or commitment to innovation, or rationalisation of resources to provide better outcomes for children's learning, all the things that private sector employees have to table, debate and address to justify pay increases. I value teachers and what they do and the commitment they make to our children but unionised collective bargaining for this group of professionals is out dated an effectual, and is firmly locking them into past inflexible practices as an industry group. If they want pay levels like this they should be subject to performance measurements. Nearly every other job has some performance measure and if you dont perform you are subject to performance management or even loss of job. How many teachers are ever managed for failing our kids.

My brother in law and sister just came back from overseas. He taught English while there for a living (Bit of a stereotype, yes?). He 100% earned far more there than the equivalent position here as a certified teacher's aide with far less work, flexible syllabus he could mould as required, more than enough to have a holiday while overseas, build savings in one of the most expensive living spaces in the planet. He came back as he was done with the country and his contract was up. He was very effective, some of the kids cried that he was leaving, giving him letters written with the very language he taught to them. They were so genuine he had a cry that he was leaving them. I am not going to ask him as to what he gets paid here but his only quality of life improvement returning is a bigger living space. Almost every economic aspect is going to be a step down.

When I worked at an international school overseas I earned almost exactly double what I earned in the public system in NZ, and also had 2/3 the workload and only 20 kids in my class. And my school paid less than the other equivalent schools
