Andrew Dickens: Dunedin hospital - do it once and do it right

With the news cycle dominated by the Nash controversy, the agitation that Marama Davidson's politics always involves and the ruckus over Posey Parker's visit, some very important stories have been kept off the front page.

No story for me right now is bigger than the Government asking Health New Zealand to cut $100 million off the construction budget for the new Dunedin Hospital.

The story could be worse as the project is running $200 million dollars over budget but calling taihoa over a project that's further down the track than so many of their pipedream ideas seems reckless to me.
