With Auckland Transport racing towards risky speed increases at the behest of the previous Minister of Transport's Speed Rule, all eyes are on the consequences. These include an increase in risk for everyone on Auckland's transport network, and a legal risk for those implementing the changes.Let's start by noting that it is extremely unusual for a Minister to actively change a law, regulation, or as in this case, a rule*, to explicitly and knowingly reduce the safety of the public. But here we are.
Is there are scope for judicial review of the minister's decision- has this been considered anywhere? Even if its just a delaying tactic until sanity prevails, it could be a delaying tactic that saves lives.
Will Chris "I'm in a hurry" Bishop and Simeon "faster faster faster" Brown be discharging the Directors and Executive of AT of all liability under the LGA and HSWA - Yeah Right.
