As I’m sure you know the coalition agreements of the three parties forming the government
have been released today. Penny Simmons has been announced as the Minister for Tertiary
Education and Skills. She will serve as a Minister outside Cabinet.
I have attached the two coalition agreements. They are constructed so that unless changed by
the agreements the National Party’s election commitments (as reflected in their 100 day plan
and Economic Plan) remain. That means that the overriding commitment is to begin the
disestablishment of Te Pūkenga within the first 100 days. You will see that there are also
commitments to retain apprentice boost and to change fees free to apply to the last year of

relating to free speech in tertiary education providers, to efficiency and cost benefit analysis, to
THE
Te Reo names, to co-governance and to Te Tiriti references and principles which will impact on
us.

We don’t expect to have a great deal more clarity until we have met with or heard from our new

Coalition Agreement 2023-26 (National Takes the Lead)

Tertiary Insight
Coalition Agreement 2023-26 (National Takes
the Lead)
1982
The Coalition Agreements and Ministerial list have been released for the new National-
THE
ACT-NZ First Government. National’s policies will be the most important for tertiary
education in the new Government, but the other parties have had some wins (but
mainly on the margin in tertiary education). National will hold all the Ministerial roles
ACT
key to tertiary education, including a Tertiary Education and Skills role outside Cabinet
for Penny Simmonds.
Our Take
National’s policies and people will be the most important for tertiary education in
UNDER
the new Government. While NZ First and ACT have specific policy wins (see
below), they have both agreed to key National policies that include:
an MOU with Waikato Uni over a third medical school (ACT required a full
cost benefit analysis before a binding agreement);
beginning “disestablishing the Te Pūkenga polytech mega-merger and
restoring local decision-making”;
a bonding scheme for nursing and midwifery;
priority processing at Immigration New Zealand; and
reviving international education.
INFORMATION
National and ACT policies to end funding for WDCs and RSLGs, or to end Te Ara
Paerangi Future Pathways, are NOT part of the agreements, in our view, but we’ll
RELEASED
keep seeking clarity. There is also no review of higher education funding, no
mention of PTEs or wānanga, and no cutting of half-price public transport people
to those aged under 25.
The high-level bullet point on reviving international education in National’s 100-
point plan was linked to a much more detailed announcement that covered things
like expanded work rights for international students. The other parties aren’t, in
our view, committed to those details, but they will work through that in their own
way.
OFFICIAL
NZ First and ACT both agreed on:
shifting Fees Free from a first year to a third year approach, with no
change before 2025 (given attrition of students, that will reduce the cost);
improving recognition of overseas medical professionals’ qualifications (ACT
also got a review of health occupational licensing); and
removing co-governance of public services, and the use of race, rather than
need, in prioritising such services, while also reviewing how Treaty
principles are implemented (those policies have a wider impact, but will
affect tertiary education).
ACT got a commitment to a legislative change requiring tertiary education
providers to have free speech policies. ACT put up a Bill on that issue, which was

voted down in May 2022 – see our review).
NZ First gained commitments to maintain Apprenticeship Boost and liberalise
genetic engineering laws (National and ACT both supported that too pre-
election), as well as some immigration reviews.
Penny Simmonds picks up Tertiary Education and Skills in a role outside Cabinet,
while Erica Stanford combines Education and Immigration (and will likely bring a
strong focus on export education issues to that).
The main Ministers relating to tertiary education are all from National – that
includes the relevant education portfolios (ACT’s David Seymour has a
partnership schools associate role), immigration, social development and
employment, and science, innovation and technology. We’ve included two other
portfolios in that grouping that may be quite important: Nicola Willis’ Social
Investment portfolio (picking up on earlier work led by Bill English) and Tama
Potaka’s Māori Crown Relations role (new approaches to Te Tiriti o Waitangi are
likely).
Key Facts
The National, ACT and NZ First parties have released their coalition agreements
(National-Act agreement, National-NZ First agreement) and Ministerial list.1982
The two coalition agreements share many common sections, but differ on policy
priorities.
THE
Both smaller parties have agreed to support National’s key policy documents,
such as their fiscal plan, tax plan, 100-day plan and 100-point economic plan
(ACT also supported the eight-point commitment card). Specific policy wins for a
ACT
smaller party override that general support of National’s policies. In practice, that
means that the following National policies will take effect (all bullets are direct
quotes, unless italicised).
Fiscal Plan
Included funding for: prioritising increases in funding for health and
UNDER
education to account for inflation; training more nurses, midwives
and doctors (including capital funding for a Waikato Uni medical
school); and continuing Apprenticeship Boost.
100 Day Action Plan
Sign an MOU with Waikato Uni to progress a third medical school.
ACT required a full cost benefit analysis before a binding agreement.
Begin disestablishing the Te Pūkenga polytech mega-merger and
restoring local decision-making.
100-Point Economic Plan
Help young people off welfare and into work, with targeted support
INFORMATION
to get a job combined with sanctions for those who don’t do their bit.
Undo the disastrous Te Pūkenga polytechnic mega merger and return
RELEASED
control back to the regions.
Incentivise more people to study nursing and midwifery, and to stay
here with a bonding scheme that will pay their student loan for five
years if they commit to working in New Zealand.
Establish a relocation support scheme, offering up to 1000 qualified
overseas nurses and midwives relocation grants worth up to $10,000
each to support their move to New Zealand.
Introduce an International Graduates Visa – a three-year open work
OFFICIAL
visa for highly educated people who have graduated with a
bachelor’s degree or higher within the last five years from one of the
top 100 universities in the world.
Introduce priority processing at Immigration New Zealand, where
visa applicants can pay an additional fee to fast-track their visa
application.
Revive international education to boost export revenue, create job
opportunities, and strengthen global connections that will drive
economic growth in New Zealand.
The smaller parties also agreed to each other’s policy initiatives.
The key elements for tertiary education in the National-ACT agreement are listed

below (all bullets are direct quotes, unless italicised).
…details of the Fiscal Plan may be subject to amendment in response to
significant new information or events.
Full cost benefit analysis must be presented before any binding agreement
is made with respect to the Waikato medical school.

reviews, which could include… healthcare occupational licencing…
Replace the Fees Free programme with a final year fees free policy with no
change before 2025.
Amend the Education and Training Act 2020 such that tertiary education
providers receiving taxpayer funding must commit to a free speech policy.
Better recognise people with overseas medical qualifications and experience
for accreditation in New Zealand including consideration of an occupations
tribunal.
Immediately issue stop-work notices on several workstreams, including:…
Industry Transformation Plans…

Subject: BusinessNZ view of coalition and tertiary education
From BusinessDesk. The full article is below but this is BusinessNZ’s comment on tertiary
education:
1982
But BusinessNZ wasn’t happy to see tertiary education split out with National’s Penny Simmonds
appointed minister of tertiary education and skills outside cabinet. “Given the challenges in the
THE
tertiary sector and the need to bring the skills agenda in line with immigration and employment
policies, it is disappointing this portfolio is not included within the education and immigration
ACT
cluster.”
BusinessNZ enthusiastic on coalition agreement
Fri, 24 Nov 2023
BusinessNZ says the new government’s focus on policies that support business and
economic health will be well received by New Zealand businesses.
UNDER
BusinessNZ chief executive Kirk Hope said his organisation had advocated for many of
the policies the incoming government had adopted, including cutting regulatory red tape
and unnecessary costs for businesses.
Ministerial appointments would enable a balanced introduction of the three parties and
policy priorities, and the layer of responsibilities was better than expected, Hope said.
Most of the critical issues put forward by the National party in their 100-day plan had been
retained, except for the foreign buyer tax.
BusinessNZ said in a statement the appointment of David Seymour in the newly created
INFORMATION
minister for regulation role was a win, due to the strength of his campaigning for a
reduction in unnecessary business regulation.
RELEASED
It had long advocated for such a role and would be watching the performance of the
portfolio closely.
The appointment of Nicola Willis as finance minister boded well for refocusing the
Reserve Bank of NZ solely on price stability.
BusinessNZ praised the appointment of Act MP Brooke van Velden as minister for
workplace relations and safety as the party had a detailed employment relations agenda,
which was aligned with business. Having Van Velden in the role would also help to
OFFICIAL
achieve changes such as repealing fair pay agreements and making changes to contracting
and holidays legislation.
The organisation was happy to see NZ First leader Winston Peters back as minister of
foreign affairs, given his past success in the role.
It appeared more muted over the appointment of his party colleague Shane Jones as
minister for regional development while noting it was a logical outcome.
“Business will want to see NZ First’s enthusiasm for regional development tempered by
budgetary constraints facing the new government overall.”
Erica Stanford’s appointment as minister of education and minister of immigration was
seen as a win as these were the two sources of labour supply. But BusinessNZ wasn’t

happy to see tertiary education split out with National’s Penny Simmonds appointed
minister of tertiary education and skills outside cabinet.
“Given the challenges in the tertiary sector and the need to bring the skills agenda in line
with immigration and employment policies, it is disappointing this portfolio is not included
within the education and immigration cluster.”
Having Shane Reti as health minister was a positive move, and he was well connected in
the Māori community and across their health issues.
While coalition partners agreed on change for Pharmac, new investment for cancer and
other treatments was still complex, as crown revenues would be weaker in the short term.
“Reprioritisation may help without being a silver bullet,” BusinessNZ said.

Rebecca Howard Wed, 29 Nov 2023

Portfolios.
1982
Policy, Management & People
THE
1. 100-Day Plan The new Government has released its 100-day plan, with 49
actions. The main tertiary education elements are “35. Sign an MoU with Waikato
ACT
University to progress a third medical school” and “40. Begin disestablishing Te
Pūkenga”. Both items are relatively easy to achieve, but are the start of much
larger projects. Te Pūkenga Chair Murray Strong said at the end of this story that
the organisation had prepared a briefing for the new Minister and the Crown
Entity’s role was a implement Government policy.
2. Green Portfolios The Green party announced its portfolio allocations
UNDER
. Chloe
Swarbrick retains Tertiary Education and Skills, and Ricardo Menéndez March has
Immigration, Social Development & Employment, and Workforce Planning &
Development. New MP Darleen Tana will cover Science, Innovation and
Technology.
3. Massey Cuts A public meeting in Palmerston North heard from people opposed
to cuts at Massey Uni, who noted the impact on academics, students, the wider
community and the university’s reputation. RNZ also reported on the meeting in
depth (RNZ audio).
4. People Turoa Royal has died at the age of 88. Royal was the foundation CEO at
INFORMATION
Whitireia, spending ten years in the role, and also had a long involvement with
Te Wānanga o Raukawa, but that was only a small part of his work. His 2009
RELEASED
citation for a Massey Uni honorary doctorate gives a better flavour of the wide
scope of his work in education. Teresa Pollard, Te Pūkenga’s Chief Digital Officer,
has resigned after 16 months in the role. Stuff reported that CE Peter Winder said
she had left to “spend more time with her young family”.
5. Old MIT Site A former MIT site in Otara is in a poor state and community wants
the MOE to do something about it (MIT sold the site in 2029). The site borders
the Otara shopping centre and is separate from MIT’s main Otara campus.
OFFICIAL
Students
1. Flat Initiations The ODT received copies, under the OIA, of staff complaints to
Otago Uni about flat initiations, calling for action. The Uni did crack down on the
initiations, but management were likely in alignment with the staff before the
complaints were made.
Stakeholders
1. Interns Tauranga City Council has 18 summer interns from Waikato Uni and
other universities.
2. Design AUT is hosting a Design for Health symposium next week.

We’ve got a first draft of the Water Reforms project plans, but in light of the govt’s 100 day plan,
and what I consider quite a strong statement about repealing the legislation here, I’m wondering
if it’s worth continuing to develop this plan.
I’d imagine that even if the legislation gets repealed there’ll still need to be a plan to address the
issues, and that would still require a role from us in upskilling, training etc.

Happy to take your steer on this one; my sense is to pause it.
