We shouldn't pretend this is some minor bill. For most of regional New Zealand, the polytech is one of the biggest Government agencies, and what this bill does is take away the local regional control and give it to a central bureaucracy. It does the opposite of what the coalition agreement does, and that is why I seriously say this Parliament should consider the title of this bill to be the "Ratting on Regional New Zealand Bill"—because there was no mandate at the last election. Neither the Greens, Labour, or New Zealand First said to regional New Zealand, "If you vote for us, we're going to get rid of your local polytechnic." Nobody said that.
