But we need the older generation to listen and look at the stats. It's not just random people's living standards that have gone down, so has your grandchildren's future happiness.

Welcome relief
The recent announcement from Minister of Transport Michael Wood that the Auckland light rail project is to be fully reassessed is a welcome relief for Aucklanders.
Auckland is in dire need of fast, efficient and electrified rapid transit to provide an alternative to congested roads and to reduce carbon emissions.
The fixation with building light rail to the airport needs to dropped and instead the city needs light rail to run along arterial roads of the central city to Mt Roskill and Westgate, where it is really needed to provide more capacity than buses will be able to cope with as the city continues to rapidly grow with intensified development.

Deeper respect
I have a deeper respect for Winston Peters now that Labour has relaunched its insanely expensive light rail campaign for Auckland.
I can hear him saying to every taxpayer: "Missing me yet?"
