A follow up from yesterdays Breaking News post.
From Stuff.
`Labour’s education spokesperson is defiant after rejecting offers to engage with the Government about education reforms, saying she does not see it as a missed opportunity.’
Then.
`At Labour’s caucus retreat in Christchurch, Prime told reporters she had been prioritising engaging with the sector rather than speaking to the minister – and did not see it as a missed opportunity.
“It was really important to me to understand from the sector what the issues are with NCEA and other things, and what the potential solutions to that are before engaging with the minister.
“I wanted to engage with experts. I wanted to talk widely in the sector, so not take something I had heard from one conversation in one group and run off to the minister’s office and, you know, make some claims about something. So I have spent a lot of time engaging with the sector so that I am informed.”’
Oh the arrogance.
Yet it appears Chris Hipkins appears to still support her in the Education spokesman role. Maybe mummy (Rose Hipkins from her `high faulutin’ role in the Education Department)told him he had to.

‘Defiant’… yep, great stance from a hipkins acolyte.
