    Great read: toll roads, congestion charges, and transport investment

    • 7 Aug 2024
    • Talk Wellington
    • Te Waihanga the NZ Infrastructure Commission have released another banger of a report, this time into two important ways to fund transport projects. It’s quite arresting… With a government (rightly) thinking more laterally about how to fund infrastructure, there’s lots of talk about funding things with tolls. Some of it is really hot talk, like...

    • By Kevin McCarthy  When it was obvious Ardie Savea was going to sit out last week with a citing, I joked to a workmate that the Hurricanes didn’t need him, the team was that good. Of course, we did and do need him. I am pretty sure, although we can never know, that some how...
