The unionised want to build your trains. Yeah Right!

for four months the Dunedin City Council, chamber of commerce, local engineering firms, Hillside Workshops, the rail union and all of Dunedin’s MPs have been working on this issue quietly behind the scenes

Trust your council bureaucracy and the maritime unionised building your rolling stock?

The bloody things are utterly unreliable now, let alone the horrendous costs ratepayers have paid for the toy train set. We do not need some union holding the build to ransom and council wallahs adding the cost plus consultants.

Get an overseas done deal, at a contracted price, with penalty clauses for late delivery. Cut unions and council wallahs out of the loop. Good price, end of story. This government is not here to deliver social engineering.
