Oliver Harwich: Bridges to Ukraine
Labels: Auckland’s cycling bridge, bridges, New Zealand Transport Agency, Oliver Hartwich, Ukraine, Waka KotahiInternational junkets for public servants are not my cup of tea. But I will make an exception for the New Zealand Transport Agency, Waka Kotahi. Let’s send their infrastructure team to Ukraine.
Waka Kotahi’s trip will not be about showing solidarity with Ukraine. That is what politicians do. Justin Trudeau just visited Kyiv, so maybe Jacinda Ardern will soon follow.
Waka Kotahi will not share lessons from its ‘Road to Zero’ campaign with the Ukrainian government, either. President Zelensky would probably not spend $10,000 on two large red prop ‘zeros’ as Waka Kotahi has just done.
No, Waka Kotahi’s trip to Ukraine will focus on learning about infrastructure delivery.
Yes, you read that right.
