The government has announced plans for light rail in Auckland, which looks to be New Zealand's most expensive public transport project so far.

It will link up with the City Rail Link in the CBD, head to the airport and extend to a future North Shore and northwest light rail.

It comes with the price tag of $14 billion, and National does not think it'll leave the station.

Jordan Bond has the story, and Lisa Owen talks to Transport Minister Michael Wood.
