This Government has not delivered in 2½ years. It's a failed socialist Government, and I'll tell you what it's causing in the regions and in my area of Waimakariri. On 9 February, we had one of the first protest rallies Waimakariri has ever seen: 400 people turned out at Owen Stalker Park in Woodend. That might not sound like a lot of money to you guys from the big metropolitan cities, but for a small town where there's only a few thousand people, 400 is a lot. They were turning out on Waitangi weekend. Why? Because the Government failed to commit to the Woodend bypass. Why has the Woodend bypass been taken off the table? Because under the Government policy statement for transport, this Government has stripped out $5.5 billion of State highway funding and redirected it to public transport initiatives in Auckland that haven't even eventuated.
