They were against covid vaccine mandates but they’ll gladly attach conditions to feeding hungry children
Not only is this blatantly unfair, but for a Party that doesnt believe in collective responsibility,theyre holding ALL children responsible for the actions of others...

Regardless of where you stand in terms of political party allegiance, or even just on the political spectrum ... rhetorically positioning a commitment to Te Tiriti as inherently "anti-government" speaks a lot to how you view the policy positioning of the government you're a part of.
Boards Chair here - before our BOT passed a motion affirming our commitment to Te Tiriti, I received emails from parents and teachers urging the board on.
The union never said a word.
Amazing that reaffirming a commitment to Te Tiriti is viewed as "anti-govt" (his words)
