$10,000 for two zeros?

The Herald reports:

Transport Minister Michael Wood has conveyed his expectations over the importance of “responsible and proportionate spending,” after his Ministry spent $10,000 on two large red prop ‘zeros’.

Waka Kotahi spent $4885 per number earlier this year, Newstalk ZB can reveal.

The props – which glow red and stand about shoulder height on Wood – were part of the agency’s Road to Zero campaign.

I thought the two zeros are the Ministers pictured!

This symbolises what the Government is about. Waka Kotahi’s job is no longer to allow New Zealanders to travel using the medium that best works for them – but to slow roads down rather than make them safer.
