I don’t normally bother to look at the spam that the AA sends out once a month but for some reason today I opened it.
A little bit down the page is this ad:
This is completely crazy that a government funded education institute is offering discounts to AA members. It just doesn’t seem right. In my opinion everyone should be paying the same for publicly education not given discounts for driving carbon polluting vehicles.
Now before someone screams that I did not check the fine print, here it is:
* ‘Qualifying Courses’ means each course made available to ‘Domestic Students’ for enrolment by the Polytechnic that is Government (EFTS) funded through the Polytechnic. For clarity, this excludes the ‘full fee’ and ‘trades training’ courses as defined by the Polytechnic and other courses that may already be subject to a special promotion as defined by the Polytechnic and at the Polytechnic’s discretion. For more information about qualifying courses call the Open Polytechnic on toll free
0508 650 200
. Open Polytechnic’s $50.00 annual administration fee may apply.
I sure hope someone picks up on this. Most stupid thing I have seen in a long time.
BTW AA in NZ stands for Automobile Association (called AAA elsewhere), Not Alcoholics Anonymous
