The package, outlined by leader Judith Collins on Friday, would include a four-lane expressway, linking Whangārei, Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga and extending the passenger rail network to Pōkeno. It would scrap plans to install light rail to the airport and instead build a train connection from Puhinui. The future of the Skypath is also in question. National would favour another Waitematā Harbour crossing in the form of a tunnel. What are your thoughts on the policies? Do you think they'll help combat congestion in Auckland? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

I'd never want to cause one unnecessary pain or suffering, which is why we've chosen to manage pests in our home with traps. It's not ideal, but it's better - and safer - than poison. I've done a little research on humane, effective vermin control during the wet months, when they like to come in from the cold. Take a look:

Bev Monahan - Counselling Psychologist
Bev has worked in both Mental Health and Addiction Services for 20 years. During this time she has gained extensive experience working in both 1:1 and group therapy.
Bev developed the Managing Mood Group in 2011 as a result of seeing clients who often re-presented to services showing little improvement; on reflection it was clear that while many were motivated to make change they often lacked the skills to do so.
The Managing Mood group is a thirteen week open group that focuses on teaching skills in Stress and Anxiety Management, Emotional Regulation, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Values and Goals. Over 500 people have attended and shown positive outcomes.
Bev is passionate about empowering others to make positive changes through the use of skills that will enable group members to make decisions that align with their values and manage their emotions more effectively, resulting in increased resilience, enhanced quality of life and healthier relationships.
Come along to hear more and learn how this may be of help to you or anyone you may know.
Bev will be offering a FREE Managing Mood Group Manual for the winner of the evening draw.
Everyone welcome, this is an open group, come along if you can, look forward to seeing you there!

I'm working on a travel story for Stuff about the things that have surprised returning Kiwis about New Zealand. If you have recently returned from overseas or know someone who has, it would be great to hear about the things that have stood out for you, for better or for worse. Whether it's to do with the weather, the cost of things, the public transport, the food, the housing, the people or something else entirely, we'd be keen to hear about it. Please remember that your comment may be included in the article, unless you say you don't want it to be. Thank you.
