Novopay: Bulk Funding vs Central Planning.

I’m sure someone has made the below link before? (Have they?) Following is merely this morning’s ditty sent to Christchurch Press, letters to the editor: for my American readers (just about as many as Kiwis lately), Novopay is the centralised software program used by the State to pay wages for all the country’s teachers, and is a complete disaster at doing so:

To answer R Lea Clough (13/6), we had to move to the centralised disaster of Novopay because the unions forced the end of bulk funding of schools. Under bulk funding, each school paid their own wages, normally via simple, off the shelf payroll systems, which worked wonderfully because the wage rolls were so small, admin knew the teachers, and there was the flexibility to fix any error on the spot in the staff room office. A centralised, stranger to stranger system, like big government, doesn't work: its central planned chaos every time. You can't beat local, small, de-centralised administration. But I've not seen one MSM journo report on this point, because bulk-funding, as with an individual's liberty, is now regarded as seditious thinking. To the 95% of teachers who belong to the PPTA, you voted yourselves no pay: the fact you have so much influence over the minds of New Zealand’s young, is frightening.
