I want to start with the outset, the premise of what the problem is. It is correct on this side of the House, and it's been acknowledged by my learned colleague Jan Tinetti, that there were issues in terms of the viability of the polytechnic sector. That is correct. It is correct that the last National Government actually did undertake some mergers in this area. We know that there are issues around standards and quality, which we have previously raised and successive Ministers have raised, but as my colleague has pointed out, the solution was not this. The reality is that the overwhelming chorus from the hairdressers of New Zealand, from when I sat in the public meeting with the people of Invercargill as they voiced their concerns to the Minister—and I do note that the Minister has not listened to the people of Invercargill—was that this is a massive overreach.
