Everytime Luxon talks about the $6B in infrastructure spending why isn't he being hounded about the ferry debacle? That would have done more for shoring up trade, getting NZ moving etc by prioritising the strait which is SH1. Spending money on f**king roads that cost more than this vital route.
And spending that money on the wrong roads to keep rich voters north of Wellington and in the Waikato happy while SH1 between Taupo and Waiouru remains an embarassment as a serious transport route - very scenic but still an embarassment...

Yeah, I mean the ROI are absolutely terrible for the roads they have chosen. Shore up your main way of getting to the South Island or spend it on a road to bypass Levin. It's ludicrous spending.

But I love all those 30 km/h corners!
