Fact is with National governments funding to education, health and particularly mental health contract, during Labour governments this funding expands. This is what I care about.
If National wants to fund these things (and given the volume of science pointing to the considerable returns when we do, they have to), they're forced to paint any funding increase as some grand scheme that makes it looks like the money is going to the "deserving" and that no skiving buggers are going to get that money.
Cause things like feeding hungry kids looks like we're letting parents off the hook, and it's more important not to let people off the hook than to feed hungry kids. The volume of hungry kids in NZ is evidence of this, especially comparative to our wealth.
