Just on this - I wrote a report in about 2021 where I said that KiwiRail had been hugely optimistic in their quantitative R&O for the port-side infrastructure costs.
You can OIA it but it got very watered down by the MoT before it got to the 2 ministers.
N.B., it would still have been a better outcome with all the blow-outs than the current government's debacle - better facilities and ships, at a lower total costs - but it doesn't excuse the incompetence of KiwiRail and the negligence of the MoT.
The MoT should take a lot of the blame for the Irex and Auckland light rail cock ups.

I wonder who is more qualified & credible?
It is a bit embarrassing isn't it? - one side has Dame Anne Salmond.
The other posts Ani O'Brien.
I doubt the article was even read.
Personally, I don't find it funny.
That’s because you are labouring under the illusion the rest of the world thinks about NZ at all.
The country is irrelevant in the Pacific let alone globally and it’s been that way for like 50 years.
Now come on, don’t you read those ‘How the world media reacted’ news stories whenever the All Blacks play??

Was NZ more relevant 50 years ago? Maybe in the south Pacific, before China's influence.
Yup, she's entitled to an opinion just like O'Brien. The dame's a story teller. Really enjoyed her Tale of the Cannibal Dog.

She has the credentials though. More than you and I.
Only given her Damehood by the National Government in 1995.
Her article makes a lot of sense... unlike that absolute embarrassing twit in Tauranga.
Actuary if we are talking debt then it started with Key. He had some good plans, or English did at least but they haven't panned out and they pushed through some stuff without enough governance which has turned to crap.Labour set the platform we’re now living
Labour can at least blame covid but it's hard to know how much is really down to that., can't think of anything lasting that they did. The ferries would have been good I guess or at least an investment in the right direction.
