Government pulls the pin on multi-billion dollar Auckland light rail projectAuckland’s light rail has officially been tossed on the scrap heap by the National-led coalition government. There is a glorious pocket of time in Auckland City when I love it here. After Christmas and until February, Auckland City empties and you got to wander through the lonely streets Quiet Earth styles like Bruno Lawrence. I want to punch the next commentator in the face who comes forward and glibly claims, ‘We can’t afford light rail down Dominion Rd’! Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
