Does the National party actually have any real policies? We are beginning to wonder. Aside from taking a hatchet to anything that Labour has introduced, and banning, cutting and scrapping a wide range of entitlements, have they actually got anything remotely original?

So far, all I'm hearing are platitudes and Trumpisms.
Perhaps they don't want an informed electorate (they might see through them) but instead want to force people to vote on sentiment alone. We are still waiting to hear how they intend to fund their much touted tax cuts. Despite the fact that the same scenario was hastily withdrawn by the Tories in the UK last year, on the grounds that it would engender financial collapse, the Nats are pressing ahead with it. In the absence of any details we can only assume the worst. That it will come out of vote Education, Health and Social Welfare, putting more money in the pockets of people who are already wealthy and increasing inequalities, poverty, poor health and all the crime and substance dependence that goes with it.
As for banning cellphones. Our view is that schools are more than capable of setting their own policies regarding cell phone use at school. They don't need the government telling them what to do. There are more pressing issues in the teaching sector. And teachers will not be looking forward to teaching a class with hungry children if National removes the food in schools program as stated. Its a lose-lose situation.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer locating explicit illegal material, and that a reply is needed within 48 hours or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.
This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances. Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond. Police have received several reports of this scam and enquiries are underway.
It’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.
Anyone who received this email scam is asked to send it as an attachment in an email to the Police Cybercrime Team: cybercrime@police.govt.nz
Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails.
- Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
- Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection website.

The matches were called "family friendly ". The only reason for this title was the price of admission to the 64 matches played. Twenty dollars-forty dollars at Wellington Regional Stadium I presume for all but one of the nine games played and not a great deal more if any at all the other venues here and across the Tasman.
So with the pricing that low there were pleny of kids at the stadiums.
Here is the real cost of attending world class sport. Spectators at the Rugby World Cup in France starting this weekend have paid up to $1500 each per match per seat. The cost just to pre- register for a ticket to a Warriors home finals match in the NRL in a few weeks is $49.
