"One of the new board members - Ceinwen McNeil - is also a member of the three-person team who reviewed the organisation"
Imagine if I reviewed your job and gave you a failing grade that got you booted out, and then I immediately took over your job... that would look a bit odd, right?

Quote for this day of transport price increases
"It shouldn’t cost you money to do that job, and I think most people would agree that you give it your all ... and you shouldn’t be paying out of your own pocket to do a job, and that goes for most workers and most jobs."

Killing the rail link between our 2 main islands is a huge decision and not something that was campaigned on. There is no way any elected government should be able to inflict such a dramatic change without warning. The couple of $b directly involved is trivial compared to the long term impacts.
