Chicken Little

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: If you're one of the few still reading the NZ Herald, you'd have seen Chicken Little academics screaming that the sky is falling because Judith Collins has focused Marsden science grants on actual science.

When they say she is "driving the car that represents our research, science, innovation and technology system, and just simply crashed it and destroyed a large chunk of it", what they mean is their pet work projects will no longer get funding.

Your old mate reckons much of the wasteful spend has for too long been focused on race-based virtue signalling and social engineering.

As if to prove the Hound's point, the Green Party said the ditched projects were "a critical part of the ongoing critique and improvement of our society".

As usual, if the Greens think it's a bad idea, Crusher Collins is probably on the money!
