Money, Money, Money: Lange At It Again!!
“David Lange, one time Prime Minister, who sold everything he could for cash and became the greatest revenue gatherer
for the Government of all time, is at it again,” said New Zealand First transport spokesperson, Peter Brown.
“By being the centre-piece of a full page advertisement for the Land Transport Safety Authority, in which he tells us
speed camera warning signs are coming down, he is again up to his old tricks – collecting revenue for the Government at
the public’s expense.
“He admits in the advert that speed camera warning signs have played a part in slowing drivers down – some to only speed
up later. However, the intention to remove the signs and ‘hope’ (Lange’s word) motorists will slow down totally, defies
logic. Undoubtedly there will be more motorists caught and more revenue for the Government.
“The answer, of course, is to acknowledge the signs do have an effect at slowing drivers and put up more!! But that is
too simple for this Government,” said Mr Brown.
