Dear John --
This morning, Christopher Luxon outlined National's "Infrastructure
for the Future" plan to address New Zealand’s yawning
infrastructure deficit.
National has experience with infrastructure
delivery. The last National government delivered New
Zealand’s ultra-fast broadband network, built high-quality
expressways, electrified the Auckland rail network, and started the
City Rail Link.
Meanwhile, Labour has spent six years doing little more than
cutting ribbons on projects commissioned, consented and funded by
National.
The next National Government will:
-
Create a National Infrastructure Agency to coordinate
government funding, connect domestic and offshore investors with New
Zealand infrastructure, and improve funding, procurement and
delivery.
-
Use Innovative funding and financing tools to boost
investment in infrastructure, and create investment opportunities for
ACC, the NZ Super Fund and KiwiSaver funds.
-
Develop National, City and Regional Deals to partner
with local Government to create long-term pipelines of regional
projects.
-
Create a fast-track consents process to make it
easier to build the infrastructure New Zealand needs for the
future.
-
Build a 30-year infrastructure pipeline to deliver
long-term certainty, enable more effective planning, and reduce
project costs.
Infrastructure is critical for economic growth and higher living
standards. Where Labour has talked, National will deliver.
Our goal is higher productivity and growth, to lift incomes and
living standards for all Kiwis.
Read our plan here.
Christopher Luxon and National will get our country back on track
by:
- Fixing the economy to reduce the cost-of-living
- Restoring law and order, and
- Improving our schools and healthcare.
PS:
With only 129 days until Election Day, we need all the support we can
get. Are you able to chip in $30 to contribute to our election fund?
