12812 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister for Tertiary Education: How many TEC funding panel decisions were reversed in the 2025 Investment Round and for each such decision, what was the name of the applicant, how much funding was approved by the panel and how much funding was ultimately approved?

Hon Penny Simmonds: I am advised by the Tertiary Education Ccommission that collating this material would require substantial collation. I do not consider it to be in the public interest to divert staff from their work to undertake a substantial collation exercise.
