Sorry New Zealand Tradesmen,Sorry too the unemployed Welders,Sorry too the upholsterers,Sorry suppliers,sorry this A-Hole government Key kept it another secret they let the contract out 1 month ago to the Chinaman that!s why he did a flying visit there.I have in my time seen many prime ministers come and go,but for this lying traitor has turnedour country into another asian country,is that why the education minister want the NZ children to learn asian language.Merino some of the worlds best engineers come from NZ,another thing how many apprentices male and female could get trained,you just wrote a heap of NAT Crap
Oh thats right kiwirail take the easy way out, dont worry about NZ's go buy the "great wall" trains,i hope they bite you on the arse.
How many of those 1200 jobs will be employing local NZ people. And long can we keep them employ? Kiwirail would have to hire hundreds of wellpaid engineers and labourer with experiences from oversea to do the job. When the job is complete, they will have to pack their bags and leave. Perhaps it is worthwhile in the long run.
