We started to hear stories come through in the media a few months ago about workers being laid off because the projects that are currently being constructed are coming to an end. Projects like, for example, the Peka Peka to Ōtaki four-lane highway, which, when it opens, will make a big difference to the safety on that road. The intention was, for the workers working on that section of road, to go further up the line and do Ōtaki to north Levin, one of the most dangerous sections of State highway in the country: 145 deaths and serious injuries projected to be saved over five years once that road is four-laned and done properly. What did Phil Twyford say when the Prime Minister's advisory council wrote to him? He wrote back and said, "These projects are of low economic value. We will not be advancing them."—"low economic value. We will not be advancing them."
