Hon MICHAEL WOOD: Every project was assessed on its own merits, taking into account a range of considerations, including the issue of how cost escalations would be managed, including the impact on resilience and safety, and including climate change considerations. I do note that in the case of the Mill Road project, the escalation was in the order of $2.2 billion, a magnitude of three times the increase in the Ōtaki to north of Levin project. Unlike the previous Government, which, with projects like Transmission Gully, kicked cost escalations down the road to be cleaned up, we believe it's more responsible to deal with them at the time.
