Like, we need to have a green party, both for someone representing the tree-huggers and having a good mix of parties to keep multiple-party representation healthy. But like, goddamn. Politicians are career crooks and leeches by trade for sure, but at least most of them can keep a straight face to the public. But does green party scrape these schmucks off of a barrel somewhere, the gently caress is going on over there?

Simeon Brown posted:"After six years and over $228 million spent on the project, not a single metre of track has been delivered and congestion has only worsened in the city." I can't believe how much these projects cost either, but I can't help but think actually completing them might be key to reducing congestion?? (Auckland Light Rail officially canned)

The tunneled light rail option that Labour was pushing was so poorly suited that I cannot help but think it was done to sink light rail completely and on purpose. If they'd just gone with what every other city (including auckland in the early 20th century) had we'd probably have enough light rail by now that national would have no chance of canning it. loving wasted money and now no chance of anything this decade.

You're totally right, I think I remember some article on Greater Auckland about how/why they ended up with the absolute most expensive option. Ffs just put a tramline down Dominion Rd and along the motorway, how hard can it be? Absolutely no forward thinking in this country.

I feel like it's highly likely that MoT execs hate public transit projects and pushed the worst option so it could be canned in a few years after handing millions to the consultants they're friends with

Surface light rail was the best option but it would've involved shutting Dominion Road for like 4 years and the screams from the business community and rich cunts in Mt Eden would've been audible in Wellington. That doesn't mean it wasn't worth doing, just that tunneled rail was a cowardly decision typical of the last Labour government.

Looks like RUC on EVs is coming in a couple months. Same RUC as diesel, apparently.

It actually seems to be double the per-km cost of the tax on fuel lol. Just a big gently caress you to EV and PHEV drivers. Some proper culture war dumbshittery so people with efficient vehicles can subsidise trucking companies.

I thought 70$/1000 was about the cost paid at the petrol pump for a normal vehicle. But hitting the hybrids with the same is definitely culture war poo poo

This RNZ article gives some numbers: a car that does 44L/1000km (pretty standard) would pay $39 in tax for that distance, vs an EV which would pay about $80 in RUC for that distance assuming it's in the <3.5ton class.

And something it misses, given RUC's are about cost to service, and weight comes into it, the EV Niro is 423kg or 28% heavier than the hybrid model.

I mean, the reality is that RUC for EVs has been on the horizon since well before the election, so there should be a well thought out and fair approach for the national government to draw from (if they want to)
