From facebook:School is just starting, the scheme is new. A reasonable person would give it a few days before going into orgasmic print.
I just heard Bruce Barnes, the principal of Massey Primary School,
talking to Lisa Owen on RNZ. The meals were delivered late; halal
meals had ham in them; there is no indication on the packaging what
kind of meat is in the meals, so nobody knows what kind of meat is in
e.g., bolognese sauce or any other dish; little kids can't open the >containers as too tightly sealed; the same sized portions are provided
for the smallest kids and those who are older and bigger. And most
kids wouldn't eat the meals once they were delivered, as they were too >unpalatable, which means huge waste and there is no bin provided for
the waste and no waste collection, and the school can't cope with
disposing of the waste. Oh, and no fresh fruit or veg. I can't say I'm >surprised, but I am disgusted.
And also relevant: >https://www.healthcoalition.org.nz/lunches-contract-goes-to-companies-with-poor-track-record-on-food-quality-and-service/
So Seymour chose the lowest cost provider regardless of reputation, an
in the process bankrupted 75 local companies and made 2000 people
redundant to line corporate pockets. . . .

A reasonable person would not have given the contract to an
incompetent company, and would have trialled service before it was
expanded as far as it has now gone.
from the article:Poliical rhetoric.
"British-based multinational Compass Group, the lead supplier for the
new model, lost one third of their school contracts in the current
programme due to poor quality in food and service.
Compass has been severely criticised in the past of its catering
supply to many New Zealand hospitals.
Libelle lost one third of its schools due to complaints about quality
of food and service.
Earlier this year both suppliers underwent a performance management
plan, overseen by the Ministry of Education.
“Cabinet has given a $85 million contract to a group led by a company
that just months ago was forced to do a performance management plan
due to poor quality and service,” Dr Kelly Garton, HCA spokesperson
says.
Why should New Zealanders have confidence this model will deliver the >nutrition and quality growing bodies and minds need?” Garton said.
There is no mention of any evaluation plan for the new program or the >expected outcomes that it will deliver. This is a serious gap for a >government which says that it will be evidence-based."
So, Tony, did those companies make donations to ACT, National,Did you steal from your school, parents or employer?
Taxpayer Union or Free Speech Union to get such favourable treatment
from the incompetent Assistant Minister?
