Home | Democracy in NZ | What is New Zealand's system of government?
Our system of government is a representative democracy. Each voter has a say in who represents them in Parliament and in local government.
Every vote counts
New Zealanders over the age of 18 can vote in general elections, local elections and referendums.
Am I eligible to vote?
Enrolling to vote means you can have a say
If you're a citizen or permanent resident aged 18 years and over, you must enrol to vote. Voting is not compulsory, but it does give you a voice in our democracy.
Everyone who is enrolled to vote is also eligible to be a candidate for election as a member of Parliament (MP).
Guidance and rules for candidates
New Zealand has a representative democracy
In a representative democracy, you vote for the people you want to represent you on issues that matter to you. During general elections, voters elect MPs to pass laws and govern the country on their behalf.
During local elections, voters elect councillors and board members to run essential services and respond to the needs of their towns, cities, districts and regions.
What happens in a local election?
New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy
New Zealand has an unwritten constitution and is a constitutional monarchy. That means that the Queen of New Zealand, Queen Elizabeth II, is our Head of State.
The Queen's representative in New Zealand is the Governor-General. The Queen and Governor-General are politically neutral and do not get involved in elections.
The Governor-General carries out a mixture of constitutional, ceremonial and community duties.
Roles and functions of the Governor-General
New Zealand has three branches of government
Our system of government has three separate branches to make sure no one part of government has too much power. The three branches are:
the legislature (Parliament)
the Executive branch (the elected government)
the Judiciary (judges and courts)
How New Zealand's Parliament works
Our Parliament is made up of:
the House of Representatives — MPs who have been elected in their electorate or from a party list
the Governor-General.
The House is elected for a maximum 3-year term using the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system.
Because MMP is a proportional system, the number of votes a political party gets largely reflects the number of seats they get in Parliament.
The political party or group of parties with the most seats in the House becomes the government. Under MMP, coalitions or agreements between two or more political parties are usually needed to form a government.

In Ravello in Via S. Giovanni del Toro is located "Villa Fraulo" patrician residence with behind more than five centuries of history, the master of the house, Pantaleon Fraulo, and his family had the pleasure and honor of being neighbors Prince's companion, a fascinating character whose actions, along with those of other illustrious men, allowed to Ravello to become known in Italy and around the world.
The Prince and elegant companion was a nobleman of great genius who knew how to interpret the present with a modern and innovative. Comrade Joseph, was born in Corigliano Calabro November 24, 1875, in one of his trips he visited the Amalfi coast which he fell in love.
Decided to move to Ravello, where he lived from 1919 until his death on May 9, 1951. He was Honorary Superintendent of Antiquities Medieval Ravello and Commissioner Prefittizio since May 1931 to September 1933, Company Care, living and tourism.
This extraordinary character He managed to turn his love of Ravello in concrete works for his people. It entertained with memorable characters and a variety discretion illustrious men in the history of Italy, among many others, Benito Mussolini, who overlooking the beautiful balcony of Casa Ravello companion called "the beautiful". A sincere friendship bound, then, Comrade Prince Umberto of Savoy, Prince of Piedmont young, who went often and without notice, in Ravello, visiting elderly friend, who offered him his house during the tragic days of 1944 .
The love of Ravello led him to concern for problems of infrastructure (the system of electric light along the road Castiglione-Minor, the cable car between Castiglione and Ravello, Amalfi-a possible rail link Gragnano), of civilized development and progress tourist Ravello. Its valid and incomiabile interest led him to obtaining the loan for the construction of civic Ravello.
The validity of the design of the Prince and his intellectual acumen convinced the Minister of Finance Giuseppe Volpi, to provide the ultimate solution to the aqueduct. The Minister, hosted by Baron Companion, had been able to see for themselves "the intense fascination of beauty and silence" of Ravello, the "multitudes of foreigners thirsty for peace, light and blue" and a number of grave hardships of everyday life.
Ravello could finally see the realization of the long cherished dream and get what they needed for a real economic revival and moral.
The action of the Prince companion did not just Ravello. To remember his concern for the establishment of the Gymnasium in 1932 to Amalfi where he was declared Honorary Citizen. Not to forget this historic and great man, indeed the right to bestow praise and recognition for his deeds, as well as the memory and onorane, the Germans Di Lieto, the owners of the "Villa fraulo" wanted to dedicate the most beautiful room.

The Election Commission has told a parliamentary committee that it does not support state funding of elections but instead seeks "radical" reforms in the way funds are spent by political parties.
State funding of polls implies that the government is providing funds to parties and candidates to fight elections, replacing the existing system of ploughing in private or party funds for the job.
"The Election Commission is not in favour of state funding as it will not be able to prohibit or check candidates' own expenditures or expenditures of others over and above that which is provided by the state (government).
"The Election Commission's view is that for addressing the real issues, there have to be radical changes in the provisions regarding receipt of funds by political parties and the manner in which such funds are spent by them so as to provide for complete transparency in the matter," it said in a written submission before the parliamentary standing committee on Law and Personnel.
The committee is examining the issue of EVMs, paper trail machines and electoral reforms.
On Friday, the committee had discussed electoral reforms with senior EC and Law Ministry officials.
In a consultation floated ahead of its 30 March 2015 meeting with stakeholders on the issue of political finances, the EC had said, in view of the high cost of election campaigning in terms of media advertisements and public rallies, use of "big money" in politics is a major concern.
"If wealthy individuals and the corporate pay to the political party or the candidate in order to make them listen to them, this undermines the core principles of democracy and transfers the economic inequality to political inequality," the EC consultation paper had said.

Tom Hardy's 'Venom' Goes Head-to-Head with Riz Ahmed's Riot in Symbiote-Packed New Trailer
Movies By TooFab Staff | July 31, 2018 7:12 AM
This Week In Photos: All the Hottest Celebrity Candids!
Eddie Brock faces off against the creature inside him and super villain Riot in the new sneak peek.
What's worse than one uncontrollable rage monster in the streets of San Francisco? A handful of them.
The new trailer for "Venom" proves that Eddie Brock's monstrous alter-ego isn't the only one in town, as the sometimes Spider-Man villain finds himself fighting off another big bad from the Spidey-verse, Riot.
New 'Venom' Trailer Finally Reveals Tom Hardy in Terrifying Alien Form
Played by Riz Ahmed, it's clear this guy it out to create a new race of super-creatures. "Look around at the world, what do you see? A planet on the brink of collapse," his character, Dr. Carlton Drake, explains in the sneak peek. "Human beings are disposable. But man and symbiote combined, this is a new race, a new species, a higher life form."
It's a higher-life form Tom Hardy's character, Brock, becomes bonded with himself while investigating a government experiment. "I found something really bad," he says, "and I have been ... taken."
The trailer shows Brock struggling to control Venom, the hulking fanged comic character who sometimes takes control of his body. "We cannot just hurt people," he tells the dark voice inside his head. "We can do whatever we want!" the creature replies, before threatening to eat the eyes, lungs and pancreas of another bad guy. Yikes!
Eventually, Hardy's character admits that the power inside him is "not completely awful," as he strikes to find a balance between himself and the creature.
The trailer also shows a lot of Michelle Williams just running around in peril, before ending with the title character telling a criminal he's planning to "eat both your arms and the both of your legs and then we will eat your face right off your head." Nice guy, huh?
The movie hits theaters October 5, 2018.

LG Display has launched a new, 6-inch flexible epaper display that the company expects to show up in bendable products by the beginning of next month. The panel, a 1024 x 768 monochrome sheet, can be bent up to 40-degrees without breaking; in addition, because LG Display has used a flexible plastic substrate rather than the more traditional glass, it's less than half the weight of a traditional epaper panel.
That means lighter gadgets that are actually more durable since the panels should be more resilient to drops or bumps. They can also be thinner, too: the plastic panel is a third slimmer than glass equivalents, at just 0.7mm thick.
LG Display says it can drop its new screen from 1.5m – the average height a device is held when it's being used for reading, apparently – without any resulting damage. The company also hit the screen with a plastic hammer, leaving no scratches or breaks, ETNews reports.
LG isn't the only company to be working on flexible screens this year. Samsung has already confirmed that it is looking at launching devices using flexible AMOLED panels in 2012, though it's unclear whether the screens will actually fold or bend, or simply be used to wrap around smartphones for new types of UI.
The first products using the LG Display flexible panel are on track for a release in the European market in early April, the company claims. No word on what vendors will be offering them, nor how pricing will compare to traditional glass-substrate epaper.
Intel's WiDi technology is an interesting feature on some notebooks that allows the user to wirelessly shoot video from the computer over to another screen in range of the wireless transmission. WiDi stands for wireless display, and it supports 1080p video when used with machines that are running the new second-generation Core processors. Intel has announced that it has now updated WiDi to a later version, and the new version has some cool features that weren't available before.
The release notes for the new 2.1 update tells what the new added features are. Version 2.1 now has a unified 32-bit/64-bit installer using a single file. The new version will stream up to 1080p resolution video with hardware based H.264 encoding. The service now supports 802.11n PAN at 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Intel HD Graphics 3000 based hardware encoding is supported with updated graphics drivers. Verizon 2.1 also brings the ability to view HDCP 2.0 content with support for DVD, Blu-ray and some online protected content.
Other new features include 6-channel 16-bit/48 kHz LPCM sound output with playback application support. The latency in the new version has dropped to under 300ms as well. WiDi will also now detect ISDB-T and ISDB-S TV Tuners. You can download the update directly from Intel for WiDi right now and enjoy shooting your wireless content over to a TV or bigger computer screen.
The PaperPhone features advanced "thin-film" technology that allows it to be thin like a sheet of paper, but function as a smartphone that is operated by both touch and bending. It was developed by a collaborative effort between researchers at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, and Arizona State University.
It features a 9.5 cm diagonal E-ink display and can carry out the tasks of most smartphone such as making phone calls, storing and playing music, and accessing ebooks. Flipping pages in an ebook can be programmed such that you bend the PaperPhone much like you would an actual book. A myriad of touch and/or bend gestures can be programmed to carry out various functions.
Vertegaal believes that this is the future of computing as we head towards a truly paperless workflow, whether it be in offices, hospitals, or schools. He will be presenting the project on May 10th in Vancouver Canada to the Association of Computing Machinery's CHI 2011 conference, which is the premier international expo for the human-computer interaction field.
The first video below shows the PaperPhone in action, while the second video shows a modification of the technology in the form of a wristband computer called the Snaplet. It demonstrates the Snaplet being responsive to touch, bend, and even use with a stylus.

How Can Gay Rights And Religious Liberty Coexist? With Free Association
By: Ramona Tausz
The deplorable state of religious freedom in America is due to a fundamental shift in how our country views First Amendment freedoms, speakers at the Cato Institute's "Protecting Religious Freedom" conference declared yesterday.
Moreover, they argued, today's increasing numbers of private businesses prosecuted for failing to service same-sex weddings or provide contraception drugs cannot be remedied through public accommodations and exceptions, such as Religious Freedom Restoration Acts, but only by returning to a lost understanding of liberty and First Amendment rights.
"We at Cato have long supported both religious liberty and gay rights, insofar as the agenda of each is consistent with the liberty of unlimited constitutional government," Roger Pilon, founding director of the Cato Center for Constitutional Studies, said. "But we draw the line when same-sex couples turn around and use government to force venues against their religious beliefs to participate in same-sex ceremonies, as happens too often today."
Dialogue at the conference between Pilon and Louise Melling of the American Civil Liberties Union confirmed that the issue at stake is whether the harm of violating First Amendment rights is greater than the harm to a person's dignity when he is refused service due to sexual orientation or lifestyle choices.
Libertarians: Religious Liberty 'Exemptions' Sideline Freedom of Association
Pilon cited many cases of private businesses and individual vendors prosecuted for refusing to service a same-sex wedding or provide contraceptive drugs, claiming the dramatic increase in such cases is due to a fundamental change in how our country views the freedom of association. This First Amendment right, he said, used to mean individuals had the right to associate or to not associate—that is, discriminate—in private and religious affairs, an understanding that has now been replaced in our society with forced association.
"Modern forced association arose with Progressive and New Deal employment and labor laws, but especially with the 1960s civil rights movement," Pilon said. This change constitutes a shift in presumptions: a switch from assuming that individuals have a right to associate or not associate to assuming that everyone must associate, with the burden on individuals to defend their reason for opting out.
"In the Civil Rights Act we decided to prohibit private discrimination," he said. "I think in that context it was absolutely necessary—how long it's going to be necessary is another question."
The 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and subsequent state RFRAs that support religious freedom merely by way of "exemptions," he argued, ground their understanding of religious freedom on this shift in American understanding of freedom.
"Notice the word 'restoration'—what have we come to when we have to 'restore' religious liberty, our first freedom?" Pilon asked. "As RFRA's very title implies, religious freedom is treated as an exception."
Liberals: A Right to Dignity Trumps Religious Liberty
Melling, on the opposite side of the spectrum, declared government regulation of public accommodations essential in order to avoid harming others and infringing on people's right to feel dignified. For Melling, "Religious liberty, like other rights, has a limit, and that limit comes when you're going to hurt others, including by discrimination."
"If we don't have the government act, that is an action," she said. "There is indeed a dignity harm, whether you agree on how it gets addressed. And that harm is not a First Amendment harm that is solely neglected."
Melling disagreed with suggestions that a same-sex couple discriminated against by a business go to a competitor instead of suing to force private individuals to do what they want.
"It doesn't matter if someone discriminated against can go somewhere else," she said. "The harm of being turned away, no matter what you think, is real."
Like Pilon, Melling cited the context of the civil rights movement as a reference point.
"People of faith were on both sides" of the civil rights movement, she said. "Bob Jones University in the '80s, resisting admitting students who believed in interracial dating, argued religious liberty in the face of losing its tax-exempt status. The court said no—compelling state interest."
According to Melling, there were plenty of other schools to go to, but Bob Jones still needed to end its discrimination policy because of a compelling state interest in ending discrimination. The same situation, she said, applies today.
Do We Have a Right to Force Others to Make Us Feel Good?
Pilon noted that dignitary harm is "as vague a term as you could possibly come up with," opening up a fruitless war over whose feelings are hurt more. Melling didn't explicitly define what constitutes a dignitary harm, though she did note that desires to feel dignified should also be the focus when considering the claims of the other side—the cake baker and florist who are prosecuted for failing to provide a service.
'We have a long tradition of saying, even when the speech is hurtful and hateful, that we need to protect it precisely because we don't want the government to be picking the winners and losers.'
"We do need to hear about the owners of the business and what it means to stop providing cakes," she said. "We do need to hear about what that means for a person of faith and to understand what the consequences are in that context as well."
Pilon suggested the dignitary harm of the prosecuted religious cake baker might actually be greater than that of the same-sex couple, but that the real issue at stake isn't "Who feels more embarrassed and hurt" but "Whose First Amendment freedoms are being violated?"
Pilon called it "ridiculous" to say we should have an action of law for feeling offended, or that "rejection when you go into the baker and ask for a custom-made cake" is "harmful." While Melling's argument suggested laws should be based on subjective feelings of hurt and offense, her libertarian opponents continually appealed to objective constitutional rights as overriding subjective feelings.
Mark Rienzi, from the Catholic University of America and Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, agreed with Melling about the importance of dignitary harm, but sided with Pilon in holding that First Amendment freedoms trump such harms.
"It is surely painful to have someone tell you that your sexual identity or your religious identity is wrong or immoral," he said. "But as a First Amendment matter we've got really clear doctrine saying that that kind of hurt cannot override people's First Amendment freedoms. We have a long tradition of saying, even when the speech is hurtful and hateful, that we need to protect it precisely because we don't want the government to be picking the winners and losers."
For Pilon and Rienzi, the very terms of the debate — the question of dignitary rights vs. First Amendment rights — suggest current conflict is the result of a shift in how Americans view the right to private discrimination. Moreover, that means that even RFRA exemptions fail to deal with the real issue at the heart of violations of religious liberty in America today.
As Pilon concluded, "We need more than a Religious Freedom Restoration Act—we need a Freedom Restoration Act, which was of course what the Constitution was meant to be."

It was a fun game, pretty easy. Definitely not as difficult as the Diner Dash series!
This game is easy but challenging if you want it to be. Quite addictive fast enough to be interesting but not unattainable. Good mix of different actions.
If a sim with this subject matter appeals to you, I would highly recommend finding a copy of the incredible Virtual Resort: Spring Break by Eidos. It's nearly ten years old but it still runs on my Win 7 x64 system so I'd expect it to work on any PC. One of my all-time favorite games.
Yet, for soccer fans like myself, it's fantastic how the game's structure follows perfectly the real World Cup soccer match system. You can learn about this if you like, but it's not necessary. Music is real soundtracks & it's wonderful, should appeal to ages from 20's - late 50's+. It can be turned off, as can commentator's voice, which is realistic & helps build excitement as you play.
If you're a fan of this type of time management game then I wholly recommend going for this double pack. Both games are top notch with great stories, beautiful artwork and a good balance between difficulties. I loved them both.
You have bonus helpers you can release (eyes) that can give you money/points or help destroy things ~ but beware the nasty one who tries to kill you. Although I have to say the water eye (blue one) really got on my nerves as it didn't put out too many fires and seemed to purposely get in my way (maybe that's my game paranoia coming out).

Bogeyman Bannon's message will not work in Europe says former UKIP official
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon arrives at a closed-door meeting with the House Intelligence Committee February 15, 2018, (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)
Steve Bannon has been alarming Europe with his plans for a new populist force. But there's no need to worry, says former UKIP official GAWAIN TOWLER, who knows a thing or two about upsetting liberals
Many people are worried that arch Trumpian Steve Bannon is in Europe and planning to create a movement to give power to nationalists and undermine the post-war European consensus. Perhaps they should not be too worried.
Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, a very rich man woke up very angry. A small aspect of his life that he had loved a child had been destroyed by distant bureaucrats. Sense, history and culture had been dumped on the altar of big business and power. He resolved to act. An opportunity arrived in the shape of a new constitutional arrangement. He used his business and media acumen and set up a revolt against the greater power, a revolt which he, and others awake to the threat, won.
The big power was having none of this and, with local supporters within and without, government overturned the man's victory. The rich man got even angrier and vowed to take on the big power, wherever it lay. So he spent millions of his and other supporter's money. He attacked the big power through the ballot box. He was destroyed.
History forgets the man, his victory and his defeat. Today he, Declan Ganley is a footnote of European history. A study of his Libertas movement and why it failed should be required reading for Steve Bannon, and anybody either invested in or opposed to, his right-wing 'Movement'.
Libertas won the first Irish Lisbon Referendum in 2008 but lost in 2009. In revenge, Libertas stood candidates in 20 EU countries. It fielded 600, had one elected – the veteran French monarchist, aristocrat and anti-Islam campaigner, Phillipe, Viscount de Villiers – and proceeded to lose a mint. Those who see Bannon as either a threat or an inspiration should take heed.
Whether one likes him or not, Bannon is some form of genius. His strategic work and positioning of Trump during the election as the outsider, using methods and systems that bypassed mainstream media, yet fed the increasing dissatisfaction with Washington, was one of the most effective pieces of political strategy in modern politics. Now, he is relocating to Europe and promises to create his own movement, based on his US experience. It well behoves us to wake up and listen. But not to panic. The countries of Europe are not the USA. The divisions between the various nationalist, patriotic and largely anti-migrant and anti-EU parties that are bubbling under across the continent are at least as great as the elements that bind them. In the US, Bannon had, in Trump, a central figure, who could, in his own way, project the anti-establishment message effectively. Trump acted as a unifier for a significant array of anti-Washington sentiments and forces.
No such figure exists in Europe, so any attempt to forge a unity among the diversity of Hungary, the UK, Sweden, Germany and Italy is going to be bedevilled by spilts and egos. The only figure of any import that has pan-European appeal is Nigel Farage, whose YouTube videos attacking prominent EU figures have gone viral from Greece to Iceland. But he has his detractors in all those countries. The cultural differences that make creating an EU identity so intractable also undermine those who oppose it. And far more viscerally.
Bannon is a great focus for funding and is, among his acolytes, a great motivator. But that brash US persona just doesn't cut it with the millions across Europe who may have sympathy with his aims but just cannot cleave to his character. Bannon claims to have raised the finance, or at least the seed finance, for his movement. He is a supporter of a peculiar conservative Catholic academy, based in the medieval Trisulti monastery, 60 miles east of Rome, and he is on a permanent travelator between right-wing movements across the continent. But his view of Europe is not new, nor are his ambitions.
He said this is 2014: "Whether that was UKIP and Nigel Farage in the United Kingdom, whether it's these groups in the Low Countries in Europe, whether it's in France, there's a new tea party in Germany. The theme is all the same. And the theme is middle-class and working-class people… And that centre-right revolt is really a global revolt."
Despite these well-signposted views, he and we need to remember Libertas – both its success and its failures – and not get too excited.

UCD AFC
UCD's Liam Scales set for Bristol Rovers move
Scales is one of a number of talented UCD players who have caught the eye

UCD centre-back Liam Scales has emerged as a summer target for Bristol Rovers.
Rovers have contacted the League of Ireland club over the availability of the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international and the 19-year-old could even link up with the Rovers squad when they visit Dublin next week for a short pre-season trip, which features a friendly against St Mochta's.
Scales is one of a number of talented UCD players who have caught the eye and both he and winger Neil Farrugia were invited to train with Premier League champions Manchester City's Under-23 side in April.
Farrugia, 19, has turned down a possible move to Championship sides Middlesbrough and QPR over the last 12 months to complete his Biomedical Science degree and instead has signed for Shamrock Rovers earlier this month.
Scales, however, finished his studies in April and is now expected to leave Ireland with Rovers manager Graham Coughlan using his contacts in Ireland to help prepare a successful pitch to bring him to the Memorial Stadium.

The size of the transfer fee is unclear but it's expected to be a minimal amount for a defender whose development has accelerated rapidly over the last 12 months.
As UCD manager Collie O'Neill has admitted, the club will never stand in the way of a player's ambitions.
"We always do what's best for the players," he said in April. "It will always be their decision. If they choose themselves that they want to go, we'll happily support what the players want to do."
After playing a key role in guiding UCD to promotion from the First Division into the League of Ireland he has become a mainstay of O'Neill's side at the heart of defence and captained the team during Friday's 1-0 defeat against St Patrick's Athletic.
He earned a call-up to Stephen Kenny's squad for the prestigious Toulon Tournament where Ireland reached the semi-finals with Scales the starting centre-back.
Scales was a winger in his teenage years but has gradually been moved into defence, first as a left-back and then into the centre of defence where his ability on the ball has really stood out (see video above at 0:20 onwards).
Tall and physically strong, he may take some time to adapt to the faster-paced nature of League One football but Rovers could have a real talent on their hands if a deal can be completed.
The Gas have made some impressive early moves in the transfer market bringing in full-backs Mark Little and Josh Hare, centre-back Tom Davies and goalkeeper Jordi van Stappershoef.
Their interest in Scales is another sign of Coughlan's ability to think outside the box in terms of bringing new recruits to the Mem as he works under a small transfer budget in north Bristol.

School board debates budget
Janine Workman
THE SCHOOL district shouldn't be hiring administrators at a time when it is cutting spending on students, one of its trustees said June 8.
Tanis Kilpatrick, who voted against accepting the school district's preliminary budget, said the spending plan to hire two administrators to work in the board office will result in significant reductions to student educational services.
The preliminary budget estimates the total operating costs for the district to be $53,160,050 for the 2011/2012 fiscal year. This is down from last year's expenses, which came in at $54,141,320 – and was supplemented by $1.5 million using prior year reserves.
"This budget also gives priority funding to administration at the expense of instructional services," Kilpatrick said.
"I have a lot of concerns about the preliminary budget and the process with which it was developed," she said.
Kilpatrick, a Terrace trustee, was joined in opposing the budget by Thornhill trustee Gary Turner.
"The budget committee had too much power with too [few] trustees," Turner said, explaining they have not had a discussion yet on issues such as changes to how band classes will be delivered next year.
Terrace District Teachers Union president Karen Andrews echoed Kilpatrick's comments, noting the district has added two administrative positions – district principal, learner support and director of instructor, learner support.
"We're disappointed that facing declining enrolment and budget cuts that the board would be hiring additional administrative positions and making cuts to teachers which will affect the students in our classrooms," Andrews said.
Andrews added that the district also wants to hire someone to work in its finance department under the current secretary treasurer.
Kitimat trustee Raymond Raj expressed strong support of passing the preliminary budget.
"This is what we have right now and we have to work with it," he said.
Terrace trustee Art Erasmus and Hazelton trustee Lynn Newbury both voiced their support of passing the budget, saying it is not yet final.
"The budget is based on estimates that we can't confirm until September enrolment," Erasmus said, explaining that the district receives its money from the province based on student numbers. And those can't be known until the start of the school year.
The board will vote again on the preliminary budget June 22.

The Combatant's cape is definitely an expert skillcape that shows the wearer has achieved level 99 in multiple related skills. For that Combatant's cape these skills are Attack, Constitution, Defence, Magic, Prayer, Ranged, Strength and Summoning.
To obtain the Combatant's cape, players must train any of these skills beyond level 99 so as to achieve skill shard for each skill. Once one shard per skill has been obtained, players can combine these to build a Combatant's cape, along with a matching cosmetic hood. The shards required to increase the risk for combatant's cape are the aerodynamic, holy, imbued, rigid, sharp, strong, summoned and vital shards.
The Combatant's cape has got the same stats as a possible ordinary skillcape, and is particularly effective at boosting its associated skills to level 100 for a short period of your energy.
