The alleged leaker of National Party leader Simon Bridges’ expenses has apparently come forward, sending a mysterious text message from a disposable phone to Bridges himself, as well as speaker of the house Trevor Mallard, and a member of the media. This morning, Bridges fronted the media to talk about what happened, so Stewart Sowman-Lund had a chat with former National Party president Michelle Boag about how serious this news was, and started by asking what she made of this morning’s press conference:
Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown recently proposed a second bridge across the Auckland harbour, which would go from Point Chevalier to Kauri Point on the North Shore. The new project would be aimed at reducing congestion, however, many are sceptical that it would have any impact due to the lack of existing infrastructure.
Wire host Castor spoke to senior lecturer of urban planning, Dr. Timothy Welch, about the proposal and potential issues with congestion and transport infrastructure.
