Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Stop the Waterview Motorway
Press Release 09/06/2009
The People's Choice Party
Rusty Kane candidate Mt Albert by-election
Stop the Waterview Motorway.
At least for the time being.. Under the current financial climate the Auckland Waterview project like the Cullen fund and the promised tax cuts are unfordable for New Zealand at this time. And like the Cullen fund along with the promised tax cuts.. The Government needs to wait until the country is in a better financial position economically to afford it. Borrowing to pay for this big ticket items at this time would be fool hearty as the Government has already has eluded to and taken action on both the Cullen fund and promised tax cuts. Lead by the National Government because of the world recession the whole country is now being forced to cut back unfordable spending. The pressure is on all Government and local body councils spending. So it would be unwise and contradictory for the same National Government to now proceed with borrowing large sums of money to finance the Waterview Motorway. When the rest of New Zealand has been told to tighten their belts.
