Waahhaahhaaahaahaah. You've got to be kidding. As a poster said above, transmission gully! There is no money to build anything in NZ. The last major capital works were during Muldoon's era of 'think big', when a few dams were built and the main trunk line was electrified..the motorway into Wellington was built around the same time, in the 40 years since there have been a few trifling extensions and that is it…Victoria tunnel anyone!

When you think about it, the majority of NZ's infrastructure was built during WWII, with help from the US. Since then, hardly anything has been built.
