Compass Group excluded from next round of school lunch scheme
Global catering giant Compass Group will not be a supplier in the next round of the Government’s school lunch programme, with new regional providers set to charge up to $5 a meal for participating primary schools.
So ACT’s ‘3 Buck Chuck’ school lunches were crap then?
So we destroyed 2000 jobs for shits and giggles did we?
Up to 2000 people could lose jobs over school lunch changes
Up to 2000 people could lose their jobs as a result of the government’s change to the school lunchesfunding model.
Currently up to 156 school lunch suppliers made up of businesses and local trusts feed their school communities under the Ka Ora, Ka Ako healthy lunches programme.
The Ministry of Education says 75 of those provider contracts will end on 24 December after a decision to partner with the School Lunch Collective – run by international company Compass Group.
One supplier, Trust House, will have to let go all 47 people employed to run the programme because it was blindsided by the decision and thought its contracts had been extended to 2026.
As The Daily Blog pointed out right from the beginning, the real story here was always the corporate welfare ACT was prepared to give Compass with a terrible reputation for food quality at the cost of local suppliers…
Exactly.
David Seymour has managed to take a great policy and fuck it up.
The audacity here?
We’ve had to cut these food programmes because this Government needed $2.9billion for Landlords tax loopholes, $300million for Big Tobacco and $200million for Gas and Oil.
We took out of the mouth of children to put into the pockets of the rich.
The greatest irony is Seymour is quietly dumping Compass while the Government gives the French $6.3 million for Michelin Star ratings.
How many Michelin stars would this shit get…
…Our children, living in a land of milk and honey, deserve better than this!
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Just another fuck up by the coalition of cunts .And before you ladies get up in arms about my use of the word ,cunt ,take a look at who just screwed your equal pay rights and gave the cash to cigarette companies and land lords while cutting your pay ,throwing you out on the street and feeding your kids pig swill for lunch .The white trash lady ministers thats who .
Every privatization has resulted in higher costs and lower quality.
It’s about time to be challenging them in court – they are never in the public interest, and as such are corrupt and indefensible.
What kind of criminal scum would impose failures like this on their country? Scum like Luxon, Seymour, Peters, and the long overdue for public execution Roger Douglas.
Compass slop and the boots camps both failed policy and the Michelin star rating using money that is supposed to go towards improving infrastructure. Where is the support for other small cafes and restaurants that won’t make the M stars system.
Older pakeha that I know who should know better actually support privatization????? These old baldheads are quite cynical and brainwashed IMO
