22718 (2025). Shanan Halbert to the Minister for Vocational Education: Does she agree with the Ministry of Education’s Regulatory Impact Statement which stated: “our current view is that there does not appear to be a fundamental problem with the current model for WDCs and that they have been making good overall progress”, if not, why not?
