    Good on the Government for saying no. We don’t have a bottomless pit of money. Nice to see we have some adults running the country now.

    Yes and no.

    Incompetence, mal-intent and outright corruption are not mutually exclusive.

    If every single person in the country stumped up a one-off $320 that would cover the blowout.
    No way Jose. That's $1600 for my household of potential wasted taxes. That's not ok.

    Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

    More like $600 from each and every person in NZ from the latest figure of $3 billion. $2400 for my household, and I'd still have to pay a fare to actually use it???? I don't think so!!!!!

    Don't forget to add that to each family's existing tab, stretching off to our grandkids, for all the other money borrowed.

    I have a feeling in my water that the mods will soon deal to this thread....

    I was quoting the 1.4B extra the government just rejected, but yes, 600 per for the whole thing.
