Since the first Tauranga harbour bridge became toll free local families have saved thousands of dollars each thanks to the persistent drive of the now retired Tolls Action Group.
When the second harbour bridge plans were agreed upon tolls were seen as a fait accompli, two dollars each way was mentioned if I remember correctly. Then, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters negotiated a toll free harbour bridge as part of his deal with Labour; once again those same families, many of whom I would guess are not well paid, have saved even more dollars. Winston served our community well; he did not have to do what he did as no one probably thought it was possible. But, as our then member of parliament, Winston worked magnanimously on our behalf.
The harbour bridges have been a God send to the overall traffic flow of our entire community, being without them is unthinkable and they are toll free, thanks TAG, thanks Winston. From the above perspective, I suggest that New Zealand First, with Winston as its leader, is at least a creditable party vote.
