Poll: Should the Waikato get NZ's third medical school?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

The bid for a Waikato medical school has been around for a while, but was put on the backburner at the last change of government.

The idea is for graduate-entry students to train over four years, including one spent in a community setting. But Labour and National have quite different views on whether that's what should happen.

Do you think Waikato should be the base for NZ's third medical school?

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?
