Green Party seeing red over latest harbour crossing proposal

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 31 March 2023

The Government's proposal to begin building a new road across Auckland's Waitematā Harbour in 2029 has the Green Party seeing red. 

The government yesterday unveiled five options for the project, which would enable people to cross the harbour by foot, bike, car, or light rail using tunnels or bridges. 

But the Greens say rapid transit must be the priority - not more congestion-creating car lanes which are worsening climate change. 

Party transport spokesperson is Julie Anne Genter spoke to Charlotte Cook.
