My revelation that Kindergartens are awash with millions of dollars of taxpayer cash – while screaming with their union mates at the Government for more of my money – is on the front page of the Herald.
Parents are already asking questions.
No credit given to me, but that is par for the course – and even more annoying is the fact the story fails to mention that Auckland Kindergarten Association has ten million cash in the bank.
These figures are all in plain view – and I would encourage other repeaters around the country to have a good look and ask a few awkward questions about the so-called “charities” in their area, which are taking part in political campaigns.
So in the public interest I’ve had another look at the Charities register – and picked out a few more juicy stats.
By my reckoning, there is at least $60 million in kindy association bank accounts – so why are they asking parents for more money? Why do they want taxpayers to flush an extra half a billion down their toilets? And if they are really charities – why are they doing the dirty work of the NZEI and using children in anti-government protests?
By the way, most of the returns are for 2011, so don’t give me any bullshit that all the money has disappeared after the government changed the funding rules. From the looks of these well padded accounts not a minute too soon either.
