This is a thousand years worth of Creative NZ government funding
our govt wants to spend 327 times more on a single road ($18b) than they are currently spending yearly on all of basic science in new zealand ($55m) #nzpol
The Northern Expressway we were told would cost $10 billion is now priced at $18 billion, or six times the Cook Strait crossing we were told was unaffordable. This is fantasy stuff. www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-adv...

Privatisation is such a scam. It’s just asset stripping. When NZ Rail was privatised the new owners made it ‘profitable’ by closing down lines and literally ripping up the steel rails and selling them offshore. Once they realised profits from asset stripping they sold the company back to Govt.
