Labour's transport policy has no detail, no concrete plans and no commitment to progress, ACT Transport Spokesman MP Penny Webster said today.
"Labour hiked our petrol taxes, but Auckland still comes to a crawling stop every day. The Resource Management Act is one of the biggest roadblocks to progress, yet Labour is committed to keeping it as it is.
"If Labour goes into coalition with the Greens, no progress will be made on roads.
"Roads move our goods and services, and our people - we need them. ACT is committed to keeping New Zealand moving," Mrs Webster said.
