You can fool some of the people all of the time
Labour has announced that it will start construction on a second harbour crossing by 2029.
Sadly some people will fall for this. The old saying is you can’t fool all of the people all of the time, but you can fool some of the people all of the time.
Let’s look at their record:
- Promised Light Rail to Mt Roskill would be completed by 2021. It is 2023 and they now say it might be complete by 2031.
- Promised 100,000 Kiwibuild houses by 2028. It is 2023 and they have built 1,599 or 1.6% of their target. At this rate they will hit 100,000 in the year 2305.
- In 2017 Labour promised the new Dunedin Hospital would start construction by 2020 and be finished by 2023. It is 2023 and they are now saying it will be complete by 2029.
Why would you possibly believe them this time?
