Bulldozers and the by-election

The NZ Herald’ Rudman Column is titled:

Brian Rudman: Bulldoze and Nats blow byelection

This may be true but I would much rather the Government doesn’t pick up a seat off Labour (that it doesn’t need anyway) than spend $3 billion on a tunnel.

I also think the Government will pick up support nationally for not caving into pork barrel politics for the by-election and putting the national interest ahead of buying local votes.
