National leader Christopher Luxon has provided "proof" he is in Te Puke on Thursday and not holidaying in Hawaii.
Last year, the Opposition leader got some flack after photos were shared on his social media accounts showing him meeting with businesses in Te Puke, when really he was on holiday in Hawaii.
Luxon has joked about the gaffe on several occasions since, and did so again on Thursday while visiting the small town on the election campaign.
He took photos in front of one of the town's giant kiwifruits, holding a newspaper with today's date.
"I wanna prove to [Newshub senior political reporter] Amelia Wade that I am not in Hawaii, I am here in Te Puke today. This is why we are doing this. This is proof of life," the National leader said, laughing.
"I thought you'd like that," he said to Wade, who is covering Luxon's bus trip around the Bay of Plenty on Thursday.
"I got to get Amelia her story for tonight. It's so good."
