New Zealand teacher strike

On Wednesday there was no school because the teachers were protesting. They are striking because they aren't getting paid properly. Teachers should get paid properly so they have money to buy groceries and pay rent. If teachers aren't paid properly I think they will stop coming to school. This would be bad because there would be no teachers to teach the kids!

go mining

Mining should not be banned for these reasons:

  1. The West Coast is all for mining this was proven by 500 West Coast miners turning up that had lost their jobs.
  2. Mining in New Zealand is an important part of the economy being valued at $1.5B/year, excluding petroleum (Crown Minerals 2007). Mining has been part of New Zealand's history since the 1800s and produces gold, coal, aggregates, industrial minerals, limestone and iron sands. However, mining can have significant impacts on the environment; therefore mining must be managed in a way to minimise those impacts and ensure environmental . so for these reasons mining in the west coast should not be banned. This government is the worst.
