Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Rejection of Vic name change is a victory for taxpayers
18 DECEMBER 2018
Responding to the Education Minister’s decision to reject an application to change the name of Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union spokesman and VUW alumni Louis Houlbrooke says:
“This is exactly what we have been calling for. The Education Minister should be applauded for his decision to reject this expensive and unpopular initiative. This will come as a relief to Vic alumni and taxpayers in general, who no longer have to stump up millions in rebranding costs.”
Disclosure: Taxpayers’ Union chairman Barrie Saunders has been involved with the ‘Stick with Vic’ campaign and in July submitted against the name change.
