Chris Bishop: Transport Minister on the Government continuing to explore options for a second Waitemata Harbour crossing in Auckland
About this episode
The Transport Minister's defending the more than $100 million already spent exploring a second Waitemata Harbour crossing.
Cabinet's agreed to a new Crown-led case into the pros and cons of a bridge or tunnel, and will also investigate a Meola Reef crossing option.
The Government's not ruling out tolls, or potential co-investment from Auckland Council.
Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking the reality is that these things cost money.
He says it's a multi-billion dollar project, and the consultancy work already done won't go to waste.
