Wednesday, December 7th, 2011 at 12:00 pmAll the groups which campaigned against national standards are against charter schools which would be exempt from national standards.

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011 at 7:00 amThe teacher unions insisted national standards should be trialled before implementation, yet are furiously against charter schools being trialled.
Are they worried the trial might be a raging success?

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011 at 5:23 pmIf all the lefties had not tactically voted NZ First to get them over 5%, then National would have 63 seats and not need ACT and United Future to govern, and hence it is far less likely that ACT would have got agreement to have a trial of charter schools. When the main party *needs* you, you will get far more wins than when they simply *want* you.
I love own goals. It is almost as good an own goal as Labour winning Te Tai Tonga, which has allowed asset sales to proceed.

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 7:28 amI did find it a bit ironic reading the following:
A jealous prostitute killed her lover in a “deliberate and brutal” knife attack after he admitted cheating on her with other escorts, a court has heard.
I doubt she will be able to get off by claiming provocation!

The Herald is running a caption contest.
The irony that strikes me is Jeanette is pro-choice (as am I) so personally that is one media stunt I would stay away from.
I’m not doing comments on this post as I don’t want it to turn into a debate on abortion. I just wanted to highlight the irony.
