SIT and the Southland community have a proud history of innovation, and you only need to go back a couple of decades, when a group of innovative Southlanders got together and they came up with the idea of free fees at SIT, the only institute in the country to offer this. SIT was able to do this due to the fact that decisions could be made locally on the ground. If we go to this one mega model where all decisions have to go through head office, you will stifle that innovation. The bill currently presents a centralised New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology that will be slow to adapt, lack that innovation I just spoke about, and be risk-averse. Losing those local decision-making powers from the locals who know the area, who live in the area, is a step backwards.
