Id guess it comes down to what their donors want, this appears to be a knee jerk reaction to attack the board and install their own puppets. National have always had an intense hate for rail
All three of the current Coalition are Humpty-Dumpty images. They all speak out of the side of their mouths, through their teeth or goodness knows where else from their anatomy!
He & our government have a lot in common= Atlas Network.
The use of “Urgency”, “Fast Track”, & creation of Seymour’s “Ministry of Regulation” allowing him to change or wipe past, present & future regulations & laws, protecting the environment, Treaty & human rights, our health, safety & wellbeing, is very scary.
For those who don’t know about Atlas, this is a good introduction- from Monbiot.
A crash programme of massive cuts; demolishing public services; privatising public assets; centralising political power; sacking civil servants; sweeping away constraints on corporations and oligarchs; destroying regulations that protect workers, vulnerable people and the living world; supporting landlords against tenants; criminalising peaceful protest; restricting the right to strike = #AtlasNetwork
Thanks for the link Sue. Actually, I was/am aware of Atlas Network, but Monbiot's explanation makes it succinct, so clearer to understand. Sadly, and disastrously, I think we must prepare for El Trumpo's return to the White House, which will have the effect of reinvigorating our own Trumpist Trolls.
Privatisation? Ha!
We really need to understand the appalling gutting of our railways that started with the 1950s deregulation of the trucking industry.
The sell-off to the Fay Richwhite consortium and subsequent financial manoeuvres really screwed us over.

Sounds like corporates calling the shots. The real Luxon starting to show up the surface gets scratched & Mr nasty starts to rear his ugly head.
We know what happened to Humpty
and Labour swiftly renationalised KiwiRail in 2020. Do we ever learn from our history. Bipartisan agreement around these issues is essential
Short, sharp, and to the juggler (as the ring master said! 😂😅🤣) love the economy of words for a worrying idea Bryan

Yes- but they are very dangerous for all that.
Buffoonery & lies has worked well for Trump.
