It makes sense for a government undermining public health, public education, access to courts and core infrastructure - social cohesion - to put a bullet through the most reliable way Kiwis can track how those measures are performing #CoC #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/communi...

Major changes are being made prematurely, without the level of expert scrutiny such sweeping reform demands, write Stephen Haslett and George Seber.
