      Going to fun comparing this with the expansionist way she ran Southland Institute of Technology, especially the Zero Fees scheme.

      1. 1.1.1

        Exactly. Spinning in circles. She's more or less promised the SIT will not be subject to change in the past. That's a vendetta against Hipkins, but already reality might have her between a rock and a hard place. She has already admitted amalgamation and some centralised services may be part of the outcome. All hat and no cattle.

        1. 1.1.1.1

          Don't think there's any hat, no pretence there at all. She did do very well at turning around a failing rural polytech, but most of that was on the back of what was going on in Queenstown, and with a generous subsidy from Invercargill City.

          At a national level, can't see it going well.

          Pity Robert isn’t around, he’ll know a bit about her.

    2. 1.2

      In regards to tertiary 'reform' I want to wish a pox on all their houses.

      Firstly Hipkins attempt that had executives on leave then resigning. Goodness knows what that cost.

      Now that whole process is scrapped and another is to start.

      Maybe they all wouldn't be so cavalier with the cash if the cost of change came from their party's coffers.

    Oh dearie me, poor old Luxon. The media have taken his comments out of context again. 🙄

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/christopher-luxon-justifies-why-he-called-business-people-on-trade-trips-under-labour-c-listers/PNZKHHUZWJFZZKCTLU7FMZMNDI/

    “We’ve got the right players that are going to build business in Japan, rather than just attending and coming along for the ride”, Luxon told the Herald on Friday.
    …
    Put to him that representatives from many of the companies on the current trade trip (like Fonterra, Zespri and Christchurch Airport) accompanied former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to Japan in 2022, Luxon said his comments had been taken out of context.

    What a ridiculous and disloyal person Luxon with his insulting comments about previous New Zealand trade delegations travelling with Jacinda.
