New Zealand's Prime Minister was not the only party leader touring Rotorua yesterday.
Labour Party leader Andrew Little visited the city with Labour's housing spokesman Phil Twyford promoting the Healthy Homes Guarantee Bill and Labour's tertiary education policy which could see the Government provide three years of free post-school education.
The pair spent time at Waiariki Bay of Plenty Polytechnic, Te Wananga o Aotearoa, Red Stag, Trenz and Ponsonby Rd Lounge Bar.
During their tour of Waiariki's Mokoia Campus, Mr Little and Mr Twyford were shown around the institution's newly opened $10.2 million health and science centre and the site of the student-built 2016 Charity House.
When asked by the Rotorua Daily Post how Labour's tertiary education policy would help local students, Mr Little said the benefits of the policy spanned all types of students.
