“Ko te kopounga o Joanie ki te Poari Kaiwhakahaere o NMIT he mea whakatau i runga i te whakaaro tahi o ngā iwi o Te Tau Ihu.

E kī ana te Hemana Poari NMIT a Daryl Wehner, “E ngākaunui ana mātou ki te rāhiri i a Joanie ki te Poari Kaiwhakahaere o NMIT. Inā kē te nui o tana whakapau kaha mō te iwi me ngā hapū me te rāngai mātauranga, ka mauria mai e ia ana wheako hei painga mō te Poari, kia whānui, kia hōhonu hoki ngā whakaaro o tēnā, o tēnā o tā tātou Poari.
Ko te hiahia o te Education (Vocational Education and Training Reform) Amendment Act ko te iti rawa kia tokowhā, engari kia kaua e nui atu i te tokowaru ngā kaiwhakahaere mō te poari tuatahi o ia āpitihanga ITP, ā, ko tētahi haurua o aua kaiwhakahaere me mātua noho ki roto i te rohe e ratoa ana e taua āpitihanga.
Hei ārahi haere anō i te nekehanga atu i te wairua o te whakataetae ki te āhua o te kōtuituinga tuku ratonga ki tēnā, ki tēnā rohe, kua whakataungia e te Poari Whakapūmau kia noho tētahi mema o Kaunihera NZIST hei kaiwhakahaere ki ia poari āpitihanga ITP. Mō te poari o NMIT ka whakakīia tēnei tūru e Kathy Grant, māna ka tokowaru ngā kaiwhakahaere, ā, ka kī ai ngā tūru o tēnei poari.
Katoa ngā kopounga ki ngā poari āpitihanga i whakamanahia e te kaunihera NZIST i te 1 Paengawhāwhā 2020. Ka whakamanahia ngā mema o tēnei Kaunihera e te Minita Mātauranga, Hon Chris Hipkins, i te 18 o Poutūterangi.
