Some people have too much to say about every little thing. I'd imagine the average Coast fm listener is of a generation who understands the context of that song. This guy got more than offended for all of us. I wonder how old this douche bag is?

He said his sons were good boys - but conceded they had been involved in police pursuits and had stolen cars in the past.
Good boys
It's a typical comment when a bad dude(s) come to an untimely end. 'Oh yeah he ran guns and drugs, raped and stole. But he really was a good boy....'

Another example of Labour trying to pull down the top schools to close the gap with the have me nots?

The way that fluffybunny rationalised dropping his brother off to murder someone suggests that we might be better off if he was in the car too
The remaining kid (daughter) is a piece of work. She tried to defend the dad of course. Don’t think the family could be anymore feral and living in denial.

(Pedant alert) Is it time to move this thread to the Politics section? It's not really about poor journalism anymore.
Also, how do expensive private schools like Woodford House and Lindersfarne make this list - shouldn't it just be your bog standard 'public schools'?

Yeah, I assumed private schools would not ask for donations!
Capping donations is a really stupid idea, the problem isn't schools getting too much money, it's that some schools are really struggling to get by. We should be propping those schools up.
My son goes to a decile 10 primary school and it's kind of expected/known that the families will need to prop it up due to the lack of funding they get. They ask for nearly $500 per student and then do countless fundraisers etc throughout the year. They even send me invoices for the "donation".
The list they provide is also probably a bit misleading as it doesn't mention student count, the bigger schools will always get more money.

The guy he murdered was NZ cricketer, Dick Motz's son.

@Hooroo yup, they're hyping it up into a frenzy. It's not like we don't have our own ferals acting like this on a daily basis.

Probably - sounds like the guy was psychotic. I just remember Dick's son got murdered.

@canefan jeez bro. That's a pretty grim view on trying to get a bit of equity around funding and improve how the donations side of things work.
Really? See NQs comment above. He pretty much says it for me
