I wonder what people were saying when “we” tackled projects such as Manapouri Power Station ?

Go to China and see how they transform the transport & communication infrastructure - bullet trains, super highways, super ports, super airports etc.

On a grand scale.

And what do we do in NZ? Allow vested interests to stall, frustrate, delay and cost the country big time - pathetic.

Pathetic garbage. Shall we write about individual freedoms in NZ which allow babies to be killed but the killers cannot be brought to justice on account of ‘privacy’ laws?

Stick to the narrative of how major long term infrastructure projects which benefit NZ as a whole should be developed and funded.

Too much commonsense and too many vested interests.
It would save a lot of lives on roads simply by having a good railroad and better highway from Auckland to whangarei.
It would produce a better quality of life,less air pollution and less congestion in central Auckland.
Jobs would be transferred to where they are needed.
I wonder what the National Party feel about it now John Key is gone.

More important I wonder what the Greens will have to say about all of the carbon created by moving the 932,000 times two of the containers that would be required to get the full containers from Marsden Point to Auckland and the empty ones back from Auckland to Marsden Point, or would they forget about that and concentrate on the carbon that the dairy farmers produce , hyprocrets !!!

Using rail is the most environmentally friendly way to move freight over land.

Railroads are roughly four times more fuel efficient than trucks.

Shipping freight via rail limits greenhouse gas emissions and increases fuel efficiency, reducing the transportation carbon footprint.

Then there’s huge benefits from the lessening of traffic congestion and reduction of damage to the roading infrastructure - by removing trucks off Auckland ‘s (environmentally destructive) road network.

Why reinvent the wheel when the PoA where it is the most economic and efficient place for it, its a real no brainer when everything is truly considered.
