Inflation jumps to almost 6 %

[Wainuiguy]

we've had two shiney new motorways built in CHCH, bu that was from money allocated after the earthquakes.

What's the big deal about needing some infrastructure built from the Covid fund anyway? Investing in your people, maybe making sure the population don't starve isn't enough? keeping jobs open wasn't a priority?

Never said that however of the 100 billion spent in the last 4 years only a small fraction went to the wage and business subsidies. What has the rest produced?

Oh that's right - massive debt and spiraling inflation with virtually nothing tangible to show for it.

BtW your shiny new motorways in ChCh were built by National.  Like Transmission Gully was here in Wellington (finally though the project massively mismanaged by Labour) and the Cambridge bypass, the western Bay Link, the extension of the Waikato expressway.  All roads of National significance announced, planned, built or started under National. 

Labour seem to only manage the announcement part.

And now 4 plus years  on we have an announcement about the Auckland light rail that was already ment to have the first part completed by 2020.  Balloning from $7billion to $14.6 billion which will actually be $30 billion.
