This fool is literally running against Jacinda Ardern now. Not Rosa Luxemburg. Jacinda Ardern. 2021 was too radical left for him.

I would not be surprised if this reflects how easy it is to get AI to generate a list of things students should learn about, but much, much harder to land on effective assessment methods. That's because learning progress isn't linear.

In case you are wondering the significance of this empty page, it shows that the Ministry can't tell Art teachers how Year 9-10 art students should have their learning progress assessed.

After being interviewed by Harriet Laughton about the Ministry of Education so thoroughly dropping the ball on curriculum development, it is delightful to see this in the newly released Arts Curriculum.

New Zealand First has precisely 14 immigration policies. That they're all UK-far right Reform policies with a splash of Trumpian deportation makes me think that number is not a mistake. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Exclusive: More deportation powers, visa cap referendum among NZ First policies
The party also wants to hold the immigration portfolio if it is re-elected.

Imagine a dramatically under-resourced and under-staffed IRD failed to issue refund cheques to over SIXTEEN THOUSAND businesses because of half-arsed garbage law. Do you seriously think the responsible minister would be allowed to go ghost rather than being humiliated and sacked in public? #nzpol

It's clear that Local Curriculum have no real mana in the paradigm created by Erica Stanford and her team in National. Sending ERO into NZ secondary schools and pushing for f-tier and ultra basic local curriculum is absolutely cooked and ERO should be ashamed to do it. 3/

All of a sudden the language shifts from local curriculum, to "school curriculum", and expectations of implementation move from being rigorous integration of local histories (for example) into Social Studies, to including some pūrākau (valid) into a start of year orientation. 2/

When ERO ask about a school's progress towards developing a "local curriculum" and are pressed on how a Local Curriculum is possible under the Stanford Curriculum, the answers get so wishy washy. #nz #tetiriti 1/

As a parent, how much of a lesson would you expect ERO to observe before rendering judgement on the school your kids attend? Reskeet with your take #nzpol

This is a lie, they're 100% going to do some new taxation in various levies and other forms. This is just to hammer Labour in the election, and then make the sad tough decision face and go "Ah you see we didn't want to but Labour made such a mess of the economy we have to..."

This country spent seven years carefully establishing a water regulatory framework and setting up large nationalised water organisations to give effective scale, and then three years cancelling that and bodging together 40 really expensive water companies to make anti-Māori racists feel better.

I suspect few of my pocket pals on here are landlords but I thought I would ask: my 82 year old mum is in desperate need of a house - no luck with applications. She currently lives in Torbay. She can pay up to 650 per week. At least 2 bedrooms needed. She's a keen gardener. She has a mini poodle.

National's attempts to control what happens in NZ classrooms will fail because teachers can't all be watched at the same time. Those of us with integrity will continue to teach using methods, knowledge and skills we know matter.

It's a secondary thing, but can we talk about how ridiculous "Fix the basics" is as an election slogan for an incumbent government? Especially one that ran on that same slogan last time.

All I want to know from TOP, would you form a coalition govt where the deputy pm and the foreign minister told your party leader to “go back to your own country where you lie like flat fish”? Right now, they’ve said they’d support this. They’d support racism at the highest level. #nzpol

I’m gonna say it again, one more time, for those that are still unsure … the country is NOT A BUSINESS. A surplus is just money you did not invest in to the country (like you should). Feed your people, educate your people, house your people, care for your people, invest in the country. #nzpol

Lack of govt spending means longer wait times at the hospital and for treatment, more homeless people, fewer educated people but also a tanking economy due to lower profits and high unemployment. So yeah I guess good luck and best wishes to everyone!

Great to see that National support 30 weeks Paid Parental Leave. Especially after they voted against the introduction of PPL. Blocked the extension to 26 weeks for several years. Canceled 33 pay equity claims. And just this year, cut Best Start payments for the majority of new parents.
