An Auckland Council committee meeting to debate looming congestion charges on the city’s motorways descended into farce this afternoon, with angry councillors…

yeah, nothing says 'smart city' like councillors screaming at each other over a charge that'll just punish the working class. classic.
nah it'll actually help if they use it to fund better public transport. but they won't lol
this is gold. they can't even agree on how to take more of our money haha
ffs they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery. remember the port ???
ffs just fix the trains instead of charging us to sit in traffic. how hard is it
true tho, had to get a $50 Uber last week cause the train was cancelled again

meanwhile students like me are just trying to get to uni without paying an arm and a leg. absolute joke
as someone who actually lives in Auckland and uses the motorway daily, I'd rather they spend the money on potholes than this
if you don't like the charge you can always move to the south island mate
found the guy who doesn't have to commute an hour each way
work in logistics. this is gonna screw over every tradie and delivery driver in the city. cheers council
last time I checked south island doesn't have jobs for my industry but thanks for the tip
just another tax on the poor so the mayor can pat himself on the back
I was at the meeting. it was actually worse than the article says. one guy literally called another a 'muppet' to his face
I bet the mayor loved the drama. any publicity is good publicity for them
well said. everyone complaining about traffic but then whinge when someone tries to fix it
