1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: Auckland Transport has been defunded and new law will strip

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: powers from at and will hand control of roads planning

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: and big decisions back to Auckland Council. Auckland Transport will

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: then only be in charge of delivering public transport. Wayne

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Brown is the mayor of Auckland and with us high Wayne,

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: do you reckon, we'll get different decisions on roads.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: I think we will like what definitely will well just

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: a typical example of I write them asking for first

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: east west trip through the middle of the city, which

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: is basically Victoria Street, because it's kind of simple that

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: you get through from and it's I've got the opposite.

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 2: There's a set of lights just become up a Victoria

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 2: Park to the first intersection. Ear you have to work

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: thirty five seconds for people that walk across, and then

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: you get six seconds on the road. And at the

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: other end when you're coming from the other way up

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: towards from Elbert Street, I'm up to the next one.

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: They've gone to ones two turning around. So if they

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 2: go straight ahead and get to wait till some person

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: who's got my wrong eye turning ahead of you. It's

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: a simple thing like that, which is as them to

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: do differently, and they don't don't do it, you know,

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 2: they just don't listen.

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: What about what about the road cone spin which came

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: in about sixty three million across a year. Will you

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: guys bring that down?

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: Well, not only is that, I think we're going to

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: work on the road cone industry of fairly resistance because

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: they make their money out of road caps. And the

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: government have got the slightly change the rules too as well.

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: But the government aren't listening. And we are working together

32
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: on more things than we ever have before them and

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: so and they fund have at as well, in by

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: cases jointly with me. Interested in getting costs down. Yeah,

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: and my life better, faster, cheaper, thinking we'll have to

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: go right across everything that they do.

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: When is it kicking in.

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: Well grid of Parliament with better fast to achieved. It's

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: going to take a few months, but you know it's committed.

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: They can't get out of it now. The change is coming.

41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: I found the ATA wanted that at all. They liked

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: their independence.

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: No surprise, Hey, Wayne, just quickly on the housing density,

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: whose side are you on, Chris Bishop or David Seymour's.

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: Well, I'm working with Chris Bishop David seam has got

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: nothing to do this. It's supposed to be reducing government costs.

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: Instead he's interfering and that's not welcome.

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, Wayne, appreciate it, Wayne Brown, Mayor of Auckland.
