Simeon Brown: National Transport spokesperson on Auckland Light Rail purchasing $33 million commercial building 37 days out from election

Election 2023 - A podcast by NZME

National's transport spokesman has labelled Auckland Light Rail's commercial building purchase 'shocking'. Auckland Light Rail has signed a $33 million contract to buy the Kiwi Bacon Building, located on New North Road. That's despite National vowing to scrap the $14.6-billion-dollar project if elected next month. Simeon Brown says the Government has had six years to deliver and hasn't presented a business case to purchase the building. "The Government hasn't got a business case, they haven't got a route- yet they've decided to spend $33 million on a commercial property. This is absolutely unbelievable."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
