Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister of Transport): Talofa lava, Mr Speaker. The Government is delivering on its pre-election commitment to invest in rail and develop domestic rail workshops to create jobs as part of our COVID-19 economic recovery plan. Budget 2021's $1.3 billion investment in rail replaces locomotives and wagons and builds new rail workshops in Dunedin and Christchurch, new IT systems, maintenance, and renewals across KiwiRail's 3,700 kilometre rail network, creating jobs and improving safety. These investments will create hundreds of jobs, as well as supporting the 4,000 good jobs currently provided by KiwiRail.
