Fair enough, but Shane Reti said something about it yesterday so I guess the connection is already there. That said, any suggestion that the Waikato Med school is anything to do with Dunedin not getting an upgrade feels like a stretch in the context of tax cuts etc.?

Oh completely agree. Each decision should be taken on its merits and my fundamental position in all of this is that we don’t invest enough in either health or education… (& that both need to be seen as investment, not cost). But I’m nonetheless suspicious of the timing of political announcements 😅
