Winston Peters has leaked, and the Government has confirmed, that this will be the final year of fees-free support for tertiary students. 

The support was first introduced as a first year free incentive to help get more young people into further education, and was changed to be final year free last year. 

The policy has cost almost $350 million a year since it was introduced, but it seems the Government has decided that money is better spent elsewhere.

Foreign Affairs minister Winston Peters says we're seeking more information and as such won't be making a decision anytime soon.
