  7. The minister talks about funding methods in general. But bottom line is it will cost $10.00 . If you borrow you need to add interest cost. If private business shared ownership it must get a dividend so additional cost. We did have this thinking in 1950s and 1960s and built things very well. E.g Auckland Harbour bridge, Southern motorway to Ohahuhu /Papatoetoe and North Western motorway from Pt Chevalier to Henderson. Even the Pakuranga Highway. What was the political discussion back then? Is different to now?
