Hon PHIL TWYFORD: Well, simply because, as the national road carriers have pointed out, New Zealand roads have been deteriorating due to a lack of proper maintenance. That's no surprise, because under the former National Government, there were real cuts in road maintenance that left the highways in a mess. Under this Government, along with the council, we've put half a billion dollars extra into maintaining our roads in this country, and pre-COVID the New Zealand Transport Agency was on track to deliver a 60 percent increase in road maintenance. That's why we need a transport budget, and if the member wants to cut the budget, that's what he's cutting.
