Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister of Transport): Yes, across over $5 billion of annual expenditure in the transport system, I believe that there is significant value for money for New Zealanders. Some recent examples include the Maintaining International Air Connectivity scheme, which has enabled nearly $19 billion of New Zealand exports to get to markets. The opening of stage 1 of the Eastern Busway, which is providing the people of Pakuranga with frequent and reliable public transport services for the first time, and the reopening of the Napier to Wairoa rail line, which has taken hundreds of logging trucks off regional roads. While not every decision about the use of taxpayer money has or will always meet my expectations, particularly given the devolved nature of decision making to Crown agencies and State-owned enterprises, I will continue to ensure, where I have responsibility, that the spend of taxpayer money is responsible and proportionate and should, at all times, consider what is good value for money.
