The government is looking for a face-saving exit
Sources within the ministry confirm what my intuition has been telling me for some months, the government has lost, and the recognition is slowly dawning on it.... more

We have been let down
The high stakes' issue is the only one that matters. If the government wants to discuss that, NZEI should make it clear it is ready for negotiation, but direct negotiation, not in the bizarre membership setting of education's Rocky Horror Show.... more

NZEI members should spurn pay offer
What have we got to lose by saying 'no'? Just 1.317% in the short term. What have we got to lose by saying 'yes'? The strength of teacher organisations; their collaboration in the interest of education; and fair and reasonable salary increases in the future.... more

How did this gigantic stuff up come about? Well it came about because our used car salesman wanted a stunt as a substitute for an education policy; the ministry said Oh no!
