With our industry being such great purveyors of the negative, I am sure that there will be plenty of criticism... But I can see nothing but positives in what is a very sensible and fiscally responsible, apportioning of the new funds that have become available...I realise that there are other matters(dates, tracks etc) that require attention, and I believe there are intentions to do so, from a full reading of their statement, but in isolation, it is of great benefit to all in the industry to have an overall 29% increase in stakes... The teachers, nurses etc could only dream of such an increase in their funding.... On the day that a recession is announced in NZ, I am grateful that our industry is finally bucking the trend and heading in the correct direction...
