Another example of Labour trying to pull down the top schools to close the gap with the have me nots?
(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 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 guy he murdered was NZ cricketer, Dick Motz's son.

The article says there was no connection it was just random?

@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

assume the spent all thier money on flights and just couldnt afford the red bulls and rope once they got here...not quite sure what the rope was for, maybe to tie up the feral Christmas tree stealing brat?
They have been a source of amusement that is for sure!
I know people go on holiday to let of steam and relax, but these fuckers have taken thing to feral level extreme haha.
I know when I was overseas plenty of Kiwis did dumb shit that made you embarrassed of them being Kiwis, but they were generally a bit more discreet...

The media probably sensationalized but it seems like they set a pretty high crime and nuisance strike rate while here. Dining and dashing a few times, theft, littering. A bit more than the average kiwi on contiki gets up to and more harmful

Looks as though they are heading south. Prolly going to be on the Ferry! What a nightmare trip that would be! Bags not being on their flight home either
Oh so no deportation, just a big heads up to everyone to do the government's work, and run the risk of your small business losing irrevocable losses to unrepentant "visitors ". Thanks Mr Authorities
Just remove the feckers and let people get on with their lives.
Would send a decent little global message and precedent

They've been served deportation notices but apparently they have something like 28 days to appeal if they want to. Seems pretty pointless when it comes to tourists.

If the Aussies can intern troublesome kiwis without charge surely we can kick out a bunch of undesirable pikies?
