Speaker: Why Auckland, and New Zealand,…, in reply to Russell Brown,
I just don’t see the point in phrasing it as some sort of policy-pinching. People have been trying to get this thing done since the 1920s.
I agree.

Speaker: Why Auckland, and New Zealand,…, in reply to Russell Brown,
I believe the Greens (and many public transport advocates) were pushing this before the Council very gratifyingly and publicly hopped on the bandwagon. Certainly before Labour agreed to support it. And 'generous' is a contrast with some of the attitudes expressed in the other direction, which we don't need to revisit here. It was great to see the parties working together contructively at that Britomart launch event last year, alongside Heart of the City and other organisations.

Another line of bullshit not being countered in any discernable form by the opposition. Overpaid amateurs.

Try to project what each party's response will be, as our MMP government, to a several billion dollar hole in their accounts and accompanying pressure from international business and government chums and ratings agencies.
The outcome of this election does make a huge difference, which is why the abject muppetry of some in it is unforgiveable.

As has been said on Joshua's fine blog, the project needs to be sold way more compellingly.
"City rail link" does not convey network completion, faster travel, more frequent and reliable services (how does 5 minutes between trains sound to your average passenger?) or any other real benefits.
