Poll: Should the Waikato get NZ's third medical school?
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?
-
73.9% Yes, we need more doctors and it's a good spot.
-
6.5% Not sure. I need more information.
-
3.3% No, I think it would be better somewhere else.
-
16.3% I don't think we need a third medical school.
-
0% Other - explain in the comments.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated
