John Key - Video Journal 40 - On sport

National Leader John Key today outlined National's policy approach to boosting the participation of young Kiwis in sport.

In a speech in Auckland he said National will take a far more practical approach to funding sports by focusing government sporting dollars where they will make a difference -- at the front line in schools and sports clubs.

"Participation by kids in sport is declining, but there are many and obvious benefits for both kids themselves, and wider society, in increasing that participation."

National will:

• Give schools additional resources over time to ensure more students can take part in extra-curricula organised sport.
• Ensure more of the government's sport spending gets through to the front line.

"We will do this by carefully re-prioritising government funds currently dedicated to a host of bureaucratic anti-obesity campaigns," says Mr Key. "Ministers in a National-led government will be given clear priorities -- more sports coaches and equipment, and fewer advisors and reports."

I can spell , you need to educate yourself out of your mind that is a prison, So I suggest you dont go to university to do that, unless you want to be or are a Debt slave to the Government. do some research to open your mind to the Government and social controls of society that are setting your mind to the limited thinking you have in your brain, try something creative to seek your mind free..
