Megapolytechnic Te Pūkenga’s annual report has detailed more than $50 million in cost savings in the year leading up to the coalition Government’s announcement to disestablish the institute.
Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology was formed four years ago to run the country’s 16 polytechs and nine ITOs (industry training organisations).

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

39.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
58.7% No, I enjoy it
-
2% Other - I'll share below
