130k on travel? Must be nice to have a cushy job driving around the country while the rest of us pay for their trips. Typical.
get stuffed, it's taxpayers money. they could do zoom calls instead of flying around
yeah nah but think about it - they gotta visit schools to make sure the lunches are actually getting there. still seems like a lot tho
haha cope harder, it's less than 0.1% of the programme budget
Bloody waste of money. I could drive to every school in NZ for half that. Govt needs to pull their heads in.
yeah right, you ever tried doing a school lunch quality check over zoom? get real

honestly 130k is nothing in the grand scheme, the programme feeds thousands of kids. ppl just love to complain 🙄
lol found the public servant
ffs this is why our taxes are through the roof. $130k for what exactly?
wonder how many first class flights and fancy hotels that includes. bet they didn't stay at any backpackers lol
meanwhile schools are underfunded and teachers are leaving. priorities eh
