Education after the next election?

Gordon from Halswell

When oh when are politicians going to stop using the basics of life as a political bribe?
Education, Health, Law, and order should all be banned from being used, instead, they should be bilateral to ensure the confidence of the people in them.
In education, it would keep the costs down, as reinventing the wheel, chopping and changing does nothing for the teachers, pupils, and parents who often can not help to teach children as the rules have changed.
Health and Law and order should be tied to population/inflation and should increase as the population/inflation rises.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
