Did you know Tama Potaka has been the Hamilton West MP for 100 days now?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Once elected, Tama Potaka was quickly confronted with the “wettest day on record” in his former home town and a deadly cyclone that saw the sitting of Parliament, and his maiden speech, postponed.

Quickly given responsibility in the National caucus in the form of the Māori development portfolio and associate housing, Potaka says he has enjoyed his first few months in the house but that “decision-making takes longer.”

Used to the celerity of business, he said that setting up his parliamentary and electorate offices and hiring staffers has consumed some of his time thus far and as a first-time politician, he was getting used to it.

“It’s harder than I thought it would be.

Are class sizes too big these days?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however support staff can be counted as teachers so the reality is that class sizes can be much higher.
What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?

Type NFP alongside your comments if you don't wish these to be shared in the We Say You Say column of the local paper.

Preserving and enhancing biodiversity and conservation lands across Hauraki and Coromandel is a long-term project requiring vision, perseverance, and resilient funding.

The Predator Free Hauraki Coromandel Community Trust supports 100+ conservation and backyard-trapping groups. Current projects include kiwi protection, trap-building, bringing national experts in for training workshops, and a field support team helping the local groups with track cutting and, currently, storm recovery.

The newly established Fund for Nature – Hauraki Coromandel has been established by the Trust with Momentum Waikato to provide sustainable and secure funding for this critical work into the future.

“Our partnership with Momentum Waikato is about providing a way for people everywhere to leave a legacy that supports the conservation work of Hauraki and Coromandel communities,” says the Trust's CE Jude Hooson.

“There are a lot of people who have been committed to conservation here for decades, and there are some leading conservation experts living locally, and they’re all concerned about who is going to continue to do the mahi.

“So, we’re not thinking small, we want to build a significant Fund for Nature,” says Jude.
