He seems at odds with Tolleys policy.
Interesting how the accomodated (excluded) figure 27% fits into the 30% failure rate expected in a normal distribution, but with such jiggery pokery would create a success rate of over 80%.

DeepRed, oh yeah.
Stabbing me in the eyes as I read it is Wisharts exclusive Americanisation and use of -ize instead of -ise. I know the Oxford Dic falls on that side too, but I've always preffered Cambridge.
[edit - my mistake he uses both -ise and -ize for the same word "decriminlisation/decriminalization p30]

Our PM who is a nice enough guy but needed speech therapy and remedial english classes as a kid and Tolley who needed an education have gone and taken the sector down this rocky road to no-where.

Doing the TV channal flick last night I saw the end of Sainsbury talking to the weka farmer, just in time to hear him go on a vehement attack on DoC for being communist, he wasn't joking, he's an ACT nutbar.
Going to Gillespies Beach from the Fox on a hired bicycle I was attacked by a kea (think - winged green corgi chasing a paper boy) and had empathy with the kea killer of a decade earlier.
Here at Pūtaringamotu there is a kiwi creche for roroa.
They are announced about 2 weeks after their arrival & I never hear them after that. I think in their first days they explore the bush and find its limits, thereafter they keep away from the boundaries.
I thought they would bring in weka, but they eat too much for the bush to sustain them.

If he dropped the woe is me, it would have been a good apology.
