Message | The CWA finds this a contradictory bil. We can agree with the mandatory nature of education. We can even agree that it should happen in a consistent and regulated environment (schools are a suitable option) - but we see no logic behind pushing for this structured and regulated education system... and then stopping education a year early. |

Message | On reflection - we shall support for now - but intend to address reforming the school-leaver age. |

Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
