And another earlier complaint about solitary confinement to Parata.
Ms Flight says she's furious. "When I heard it I said, 'she's lying'. My reaction is anger, sadness and frustration."
1 NEWS asked the minister if she recalled sending the letter, she said she didn't. "What I meant was in respect of the Miramar Central event that that was the first I'd heard of it."
The minister said the number of seclusion rooms being used at schools across New Zealand is "very few".
Madam seems way too comfortable about the harm she has caused by sitting on her hands and convening a group to write some guidelines without actually stopping the practice right away.
Next year is too long to be rid of this nasty piece of work. I'm also grateful I've never had to deal with the Ministry's Katrina Casey.

Parata twisting and turning over what solitary confinement rooms are called, and John Campbell simply isn't having it. Outstanding.

Speaker: The light train to Roskill, in reply to Russell Brown,
The south has been getting truckloads of .. motorway building. Not much use for public transit, true. Some catchup currently with a few interchanges ready for the impact of the CRL and the new bus network design launched this week to move more people with the same number of buses.

I expect some resignations next week. Not the right ones, but some.

Benedict Collins did a great RNZ Checkpoint interview with Housing NZ, who seem to be blaming everyone other than themselves.

Exactly the position Housing NZ double-down on in their OIA response via fyi.org.nz
I also noticed their terminological evasiveness about 'eviction' vs 'termination' of tenancies, plus the very steep rise in spend over the last 3 years.
