Eric Crampton: Transport funding is an incoherent mess, but there is a solution


Transport funding has become an incoherent mess. In August, the Ministry of Transport released the Draft Government Policy Statement on land transport funding. Submissions closed on Friday.

Point of Order: Buzz from the Beehive - 13/7/23



Maori leadership features in govt funding for family violence services – more corporate welfare is being delivered, too

Three Maori organisations, several businesses and the war-ravaged Ukraine will be the recipients of the millions of dollars dispensed in three government announcements over the past 24 hours.

That one came from the Minister for Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence, Marama Davidson.
