As part of the 2022 budget allocation for transport the government announced a two months extension to the half-priced fares scheme. The cheaper fares have been a part of the government’s response to the cost of living crisis but are currently only a temporary measure.
For Casper's fortnightly chat with Auckland city Counsellor Pippa Coom they discussed the extension of this scheme announced in the budget, how it’s been performing so far and what might be possible as a permanent solution.
Phil Goff’s last climate budget as Auckland mayor has been passed by the council.
Last week Casper discussed this budget with Auckland city councillor Pippa Coom and this week, for his fortnightly interview with councillor Shane Henderson he asked for an update on the budget and its importance.
Casper also asked Shane for his perspective on the Ports of Auckland recently scraping its automation project after sinking $65 million dollars into the effort, and what this says about the ports’ direction.
The native Kauri Trees in the Waitakere Ranges have been under threat from the Kauri Dieback disease for years.
While this is naturally occuring, humans disturbing the area have led to the rate spreading quicker than normal and the trees being put at major risk.
However, a recent report from the council has revealed new details on the spread, showing that the issue, while still prevalent, might not be moving as quickly as previously thought.
To learn more, I spoke to Richard Hills for our regular City Counselling segment about what they’ve recently discovered.
Auckland's mayoral elections and getting closer and closer, and the beliefs of some candidates have been called into question by commentators.
Many have pointed out candidates who have links to conspiracy groups, and others have criticised the policy of larger candidates such as Viv Beck.
Liam had a chat with city councillor Pippa Coom about her take on the candidates, as well as her thoughts on the Transport Emissions Reduction Pathway.
As we are in the midst of local election voting, councillors are beginning to wrap up their terms with Final Reports.
Pippa Coom, the councillor for Waitematā and Gulf, has recently released her own report on the achievements she’s made and issues she’s encountered over the past three years.
As a part of their fortnightly chats on City Counselling, Liam and Pippa had a kōrero about the report and what she’s looking to do if re-elected.
They also spoke more broadly about the local elections, as well as ongoing climate strikes happening around the country today.
