- REAL ESTATE AGENT JANET DICKSON LOSES COURT FIGHT OVER MAORI COURSE (Times, February 4):
Patrick O’Meara
You must appeal this ruling Janet!
Lindi Marrett
What happened to our freedom of choice, what a disgrace.
Gary Parsloe
We’re all equal just some more than others. Janet, congratulations for doing this.
Jayne Macfarlane
A 90-minute session teaching the history of the land real estate agents gain their livelihood by selling. Not unreasonable.
Jennifer Cunningham
Imagine if a course required the participant to write a prayer to the Christian God. There’d be outrage.
- PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS ON COVID-19 INQUIRY OPEN (Times, February 3):
Donna Leckie
It’s great everyone has the opportunity to have a say. I don’t envy anyone having to make those big decisions. The inquiry found some were very sound, and some were not. It’s great there is an opportunity to learn and do better.
Von Hellstrom Hans
Telling the DHB staff, cops and others they have no job if they don’t get the jab is probably the main stuff-up. She (Jacinda Ardern) is 100 per cent to blame for that.
- LABOUR SLAMS DAVID SEYMOUR’S NEW SCHOOL LUNCHES PROGRAMME (Times, January 31):
Ross McGahan
Like Labour did any better with the school lunch programme.
Alan Galley
Well they would wouldn’t they. If it was perfect they would find something to be negative about.
Donna Leckie
I think the disappointing thing was that the prior scheme wasn’t just feeding kids, it was providing employment and providers could often respond swiftly to feedback because they were part of the community. This new provision is just faceless corporates churning out hospital slop.
Rhonda Gilmore
Some parents have got lazy. It’s up to you as a parent to feed your kids. Don’t like seeing kids go without anything, but it’s the parents’ responsibility.
