IMPORTANT STUDY: “On average, the implementation of 30 km/h speed limits in European cities demonstrated a 23%, 37% & 38% reduction in road crashes, fatalities & injuries respectively. Lower speed limits also yielded environmental benefits.”

Why is NZ news helping NZ First spread rumours? It's ridiculous to allow Winston to manipulate the news story like this.

$300mn in penalties, $100m in inflation build for the ports so far, ~$500mn lost in costs - and we still have no ferries
