Why don't we bring in experts from countries that are great at building and designing efficient transport infrastructure? We should never prioritise cars.

Also, we should penalise politicians who don't deliver their promises.

This would include most of the Labour caucus, as well as the Auckland and Wellington councils.

You day that like it's a bad thing??

I'm only joking, actually. In our kind of government, getting traction isn't guaranteed with MMP.

I kinda respect the "snooze you lose" approach to infrastructure by National, actually. It incentivises moving fast and getting shit done before the other guys get in.
