Oh, and I also think this doesn't include the cost of setting up the entire Charter School Agency. That's got to be a pretty high price.

Even if you just count the operational funding the 425 students are still receiving more per student than state schools at about 10.8k.

But they wouldn't have that without the $14k per student Seymour gave schools to either rent or buy premises.

Expensive, messy, probably not accountable.

Thread time.

These proposed local government reforms are being reported as the end of Regional Councils but actually they're probably the end of a lot of rural and smaller district councils in New Zealand. Not sure what I mean?

I recall one of the French Finance Ministers in pre-revolutionary France concealing the true state of the finances by dividing expenses into Ordinary and Extraordinary. This presented the lie that things were ok. They very much were not. I can't remember what happened next but it must have been good
