What has been the first announcement from the government following the recent earthquakes, the worst of which has left State Highway 1 blocked and Kaikoura township isolated, hmm?
Oh that's right, they've made a major announcement to build themselves new buildings in Wellington. Suck on that Kaikoura, see, they really don't care about you.

And that goes for the rest of the lower South Island too, you can just be fodder for the price gouging now going on.
Yes, price gouging, transport operators have lifted prices by as much as 20%, well the extra distance they travel doesn't change their fixed costs, and only adds a marginal increase in variable costs; taken across the whole load there is no way every shipment needs to increase by anywhere near as much (this is a simple arithmetic exercise but I guess if you're an investor then some of the listed transport companies make good buying right now).
C'mon New Zealand, you need to take this country back from these incompetent fools.
