None so deaf as those who will not hear
Dr Hutchison remains deaf in his party’s policy vacuum, Tertiary Education Minister Pete Hodgson said today.
“As was explained in Select Committee today this government has reduced the number of staff in the Tertiary Education
Commission.
“At the end of the Commission’s first year it had 297 staff. It now has 287. That is a decrease.
“Unfortunately Dr Hutchison continues to drone on, giving truth to the saying, ‘There are none so deaf as those who will
not hear.’ “
