Now, the icing on the cake was the New Zealand Upgrade Programme, a $12 billion, 10-year programme of infrastructure investments upgrading our roads, our rail, our hospitals, and our schools. Why is it that we can do this? The answer is that Grant Robertson's careful financial management has put the country in a position where we can make investments in productivity-enhancing infrastructure on a scale that has not been seen in many decades—$6.8 billion of transport infrastructure that will speed up travel times and that will allow people to move around our cities with greater ease. It will help get trucks off the road and move more freight by rail.
