Hon MICHAEL WOOD: Delivering a proper, functioning, linked-up mass rapid transit network in our largest city is one of our most important transport priorities. For 50 years, a proper mass rapid transit system for Auckland has been kicked down the road. This is a significant and complex project. We are getting on with the job of delivering it, that's what Aucklanders expect us to do. We can engage in political barbs across the House about this, but what 1.7 million Aucklanders expect us to do is to deliver a linked-up network. That's why we're building the Eastern Busway, that's why we're building the Northwestern Bus interim improvements, that's why we've extended the Northern Busway, and that's why we're now investing in mass rapid transit to the Shore and across the Auckland isthmus.
