I'm hearing about some of the issues around the new curriculum.

That's what I've been up to.

They really don't like the fact that it's written by overseas and it takes a long, long, it's not going to be easy to get it out the gate in an hour of teaching.

Not practical to teach.

Well, that's a good thing about the job.

You don't hang around with the same people.

You get lots of different groups with different ideas, and it keeps you on your toes.

So I think that's one of the bonuses of this job.

No one day is ever the same.

Okay.

What have you done, Mike?

And would that just be around when you live, Mark?

Because the parents matter.

I've got an idea.

What's your idea?

I reckon it's so expensive that people can't afford to buy food and buy the basics they need each week.

So people can't afford to live.

Well, we wouldn't have fired 10,000 people in Wellington, for example.

No, but, Jenny, that's two years old.

Well, you've got great examples of what happened in terms of when the economy was under pressure last time.
