Or both…. I heard her say she didn’t understand NCEA as a parent. I mean it takes a bit to get use to but to me it’s like 6th form and has exams too. Pretty simple really.

I had wondered if she has any current experience of the system, Google says she has 2 children and went to Rangitoto college

This is really great. Honestly expected it to be a bit cringe, but it is quite special.

Especially when they won't even let him practice without finishing the chant.

For non-AoNZers, you can absolutely try this on any Kiwis you know.

Now this is cool.

Overseas comedian making a joke about Kiwis not having a chant.

Then someone in the audience sings out Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi and the whole audience shouts Hi aue hei in response.

So the comedian tries to learn it.

Good vibes, real kiwis.

Could you pls do an old ex-Art History teacher a solid, sign this petition to save the subject in our schools, and pass it on.

These philistines need to hear from you all.

Thank you

Confirmation today that the new junior English and Maths curricula that became official policy this year are being changed.

In secret. No consultation.

Remember when National was going through endless leadership ructions?It got so bad journalist Andrea Vance wrote a political exposé, "Blue Blood".

Then-Labour leader, Jacinda Ardern refused to comment on the turmoil,steadfastly insisting to the media it was an internal matter for National MPs...(1)

My kids (16-22) were really into it. Once Rowling started her terf stuff they all walked away. They noticed the lack of Queer and POC characters. They didn’t feel HP represented them.

Rhetorical question, why do we keep re-electing stale, pale, male, conservative mayors and councillors?
I'm over it 😬😕

I aren’t impressed, it’s a whole lot of same old people, and possibly losing Kaydee sucks.

Androfemme isn’t funded and testogel is but the dose amount is tricky cos it’s designed for men so harder to get it accurate. A lot of GP’s won’t prescribe the funded ones either cos guidelines are unclear. Just another pink tax.

The timeline for the Chorus sale is before the next election.

Early next year, to artificially pump the books in the short term for Budget 2026 while fucking over everyone in NZ for the foreseeable future.

chorus being publicly owned is the only reason we don't have shit australian internet.

We should nationalize every company owned by a national MP. Eminent domain their homes. Fuck these people.

Definitely is a lot of unseen effort. My first Leo’s compared to now is a 14yr journey and a lot of self criticism.
