$35 million spent on Auckland light rail, for nothing

Newshub reports:

Tens of millions of dollars have been spent on since Labour came to power, despite there being no shovels in the ground to build it. 

Information released by Waka Kotahi-NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) shows $34.8 million has been spent since October 2017 on cases, project management, legal costs, office space and equipment, and of funding. 

And despite those tens of millions of dollars going into the project, Labour announced in March plans to start from scratch, with a new six-month consultation process launched by Transport Minister Michael Wood. 

That's $35 million just flushed down the drain.
