Temperature records are being broken everywhere, Europe is on fire, the Gulf Stream is about to collapse, so of course National reannounces its perennial election policy of "more roads!", coupled of course with "less public transport".
There are plenty of reasons to hate this - sprawl, dodgy costs, National punishing cities who don't vote for them - but the big one is simple: this is the exact opposite of what we need in a climate crisis. More roads equals more traffic equals more emissions equals more fires, floods, and cyclones. Its a clear sign that National just doesn't get it on the biggest challenge facing Aotearoa. And that means they're unfit to govern.
