Soper says Labour will backtrack on lower speed limits

Newshub reports:

But Soper revealed on AM’s panel he knows on “good authority” the move to lower speed limits will be abandoned.

“Can I tell you on good authority, and it’s pretty good authority, that the speed limits are not going to be reduced,” Soper said. “Heard it here first,” he added.

This is good news, if accurate. The Government should be making roads safer through engineering, not slowing down millions of Kiwis getting around New Zealand.

Of course we know they really want to do this, so I suspect if they win the election, it will be back on again.
