One in four Kiwis literally can’t think more than one step ahead apparently.
- We need new ferries and extra capacity
- Anything we procure now will be be cheaper than tomorrow
- We need climate and earthquake resilient ports
I challenge anyone to propose a version of events where we are better off by *not* going through with the iRex deal. There isn’t one. It was a fucktarded idea to cancel them, from ‘the party of fiscal responsibility’. Absolute petrol sniffing shitwankery.
It’s definitely short-term thinking to baulk at the cost of this upgrade when evidence would indicate that it’s not going to become cheaper to upgrade in the future. We are suffering doubly for our decades of plentiful cash and cheap infrastructure costs, where we haven’t kept up with improvements like we should have, and the bill will now be delivered when we least want to pay it.
Except it seems some people still think they can get away with not paying it.
I suppose if you’re an older voter, you technically can by delaying it until you die. It really benefits the present at the expense of the future, though.

I agree!
