David Bennett said that we couldn't afford to delay the Waikato Expressway, not even for a month in order to get a passenger train to Auckland. So I wonder what could have caused a six year delay?

I found it quite odd the first time I drove along the expressway, how it is not continuous but broken up into at least two separate sections, if I'm correct. I'm in Iain's electorate but after having driven through Hamilton a few times I think Hamilton really needs that bypass. Don’t forget to remind Hamiltonians about that during the election campaign!

The PM's statement to Parliament today was more like a whimper. The more realistic move to close the gap with Australia is for me to pick up and go now, which I am seriously planning to do.

Whats the bet Joyce will not front up in Parliament to answer the inevitable questions.
