The POA move from Auckland just will not happen no matter who wants it, its economics just do not stack up, Bal et al please give up on this NZF pipe dream !

But ‘independent’ and ‘expert’ reports will show it does stack up ....they always do.

Once it is started, which will be pushed through by NZF, I cannot see National terminating the project.

Be interesting to see what National says when the Final Report is officially released and recommendation is taken up by the government. Will Simon grow a pair and says National will can it?

Suspect Simon is not going to, is he?

I believe we have our answer to whether Simon will grow a pair if the recommendation to proceed is taken up by the government :

Excerpt : "National Party deputy leader Paula Bennett said NZ First was facing serious allegations. "There's also questions with this one, from what I can see so far, as to whether it's lawful at all," she said.

Bennett would not rule out working with NZ First in the future. "Those are discussions for another day ... That's something for the leader to discuss, and to bring forward at his timetable."

The baubles of power, eh?

What's $1 billion a year from the public purse if NZF holds the key to who will be the next government?

here comes the negative stories on moving the port from auckland to northport

Two reviews from economic analysts, released today by Ports of Auckland, show the real costs associated with moving it. In its analysis, Castalia says that cost of moving it is $6.7 billion in present value terms. That is almost four times higher than EY’s predicted net cost of $1.8 billion that has been used to sell the idea

funny really. one thing is for sure the longer they wait to move it it is guaranteed it will cost more

I've never been able to work out the economic benefits to the country of moving the port north out of Auckland when the vast majority of freight is destined for Auckland and points south.

Expect plenty of rebuttals from vested interests (already identified and pre-empted by Wayne Brown) using all kinds of reports and reasons to try and turn public opinion from the shift to Northport.

Not going to change the end result.

They have picked on the wrong person (Wayne Brown) imo.

Read the article above and you can see he has gone through the issues very carefully and the vested interests are getting desperate.

Meanwhile, here's the pathetic response the fat cat POA CEO whose vision consists of building a multi-level carpark and whose tenure so far is marked by Auckland losing market share to POT.

[whatsup]

Wondering when you were going to surface.

Not too late to buy into the best infrastructure stock on the NZX for the next 10 years.

Bal, Once the MMH dreamers realise the N Z F cr@p is fact the s p will drop to sub $5.50 where it was before the ramping started , get out now before that happenes, the W B report was complete B S in my opinion, if I was paid enough I could write a report that said the sky is NOT blue !!!
