Last week the government released their latest budget. By in large it seems to have been fairly well received and one thing that strikes me about it is there was not one large headline grabbing initiative but lots of little ones that added up. It’s a shame the government can’t take the same approach with other parts of their policy portfolio, such as their focus on mega transport projects like Tunnelled Light Rail and another Harbour Crossing, at the expense of lots of smaller and faster to deliver projects that will have a greater overall impact.
There were are few interesting transport related items in the budget, though some had been signalled before.
