Poll: Should Waikato have a medical school?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It's been pitched before - a bid for a medical school in our region was made by the University of Waikato and Waikato DHB in 2016.

The idea has been put on hold and brought back to life before.

Now a new dean of health at the university has renewed the push and has backing from a city councillor.

Do you think Waikato should have a medical school?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
