The Charter School Con- yet another ACT of economic vandalism.

 YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF PINOKEYO'S ECONOMIC VANDALISM- THIS TIME IN EDUCATION

John Banks, the sole member of ACT and it's MP leveraged into power with yet another shonkey PinoKeyo deal over a cup of tea, has landed NZ with the biggest education shill and worst bit of economic vandalism other than John PinoKeyo doing behind closed doors deals with casino operators, smelter operators and film companies that end up loading the taxpayer with the cost over rides and risks. That educational and economic vandalism is the ACT conspiracy to sell off the state school system to the Charter school companies hovering to asset strip one of the best performing education systems in the world.

The UK experience coming from the Tory Party's attack on the State school system is best summed up in this cartoon.

Like Gove in the UK, Hekia is hell bent on dismantling a high performing education system.

The research currently coming out of the USA and the UK proves how dangerous, educationally unsound , socially irresponsible and economically dangerous the policy is.
In the USA the involvement of the Gates family trust determined to foster the Charter School businesses has raised concern among researchers especially as the activities of such "philanthropy" is seen to be negatively influencing education delivery in the USA and in the UK.
In the USA the prime advocate for Charter Schools has now turned around and declared that they are detrimental to the delivery of education because they turn education into a commodity for the benefit of the for profit Charter School businesses instead of concentrating on the real purpose of schools - to educate the community.
Unfortunately for NZ the ideologically blinkered and education philosophy challenged Hekia Parata has not had the political clot in the National-ACT cabinet to slap Banks down and challenge his unresearched allegations and assertions about the NZ education system probably because she is struggling to keep her limited credibility with PinoKeyo alive as the rest of the cabinet conspire for the putsch that will elevate either Collins or Joyce into Key's already questionable hold on the control of the National-ACt party machine.

The Truth about John Key- erstwhile PM of NZ

Over the past few weeks the teflon carefully laid over the body and image of John Key (alias PinoKeyo) by his PR firm, Crosby Textor, has begun to flake off.

The true nature of the gambling Merchant Banker has begun to be revealed to the MSM and the NZ public and it is not pleasant.

Mind you we have had indications of his real nature earlier in his posturing as a Prime Minister. There was the fiasco of the Scuttle & Run, Smile & Wave attempt at leading a trade mission to the ME back in 2009, then there was the more obvious readiness to sell NZ to the highest arm twister when he gleefully sold the rights of unionised workers to negotiate their wages and conditions to Warner Bros, then, there has been the ongoing SkyCity deal in which NZs gambling regulations have been compromised with the promise of a "free" international convention centre to which the present National-ACT govt will have the right to vet those parties wanting to use the centre to ensure their presence doesn't embarass them, there is the proposed anti-union legislation tabled by novice MP, Jammy-Lea Ross and Simon Bridges and now comes the privacy invading GCSB legislation for which Key is responsible and which is designed to retrospectively OK bad interpretations of the law.

His dictatorial manner has become even more pronounced with his Prime Ministerial ordered enquiries into, first, the Great Cup o'Tea recording saga- in which he and the sole member of the ACT party, John Banks, conspired to come to "an agreement" in the Epsom electorate and were accidentally recorded by a reporter invited to be present at this "historic" event and now the enquiry over the leak of the Kitteridge Report on the activities of the GCSB.

The secret diary published on the STUFF website may be satirical but the elements of truth within it would in the present political climate of John PinoKeyo Key's NZ be almost real.
