This is regarding the NZ government's plan to introduce higher speed limits. Unsurprisingly, the conservative party is in power at the moment.

It's also worth noting that the previous government had a Road to Zero policy similar to the Vision Zero policies mentioned in the article. Part of this involved reducing speed limits on high risk roads.

The new government committed to ending that policy, and increasing speed limits on some roads over that were not reduced under the previous policy.

Also relevant is they are building roads that no one wants, and creating huge debt doing it...
