The government is touting the multi-billion-dollar infrastructure package as the biggest investment in a generation - but National is accusing it of just dusting off plans it was progressing when it was in power.
The Prime Minister has revealed dozens of roading and rail projects around the country, and more money for DHBs, to come out of the $12 billion Infrastructure Fund.
Roading gets the lion's share with nearly $5 billion with $2.2 billion of that going to Auckland. But the Opposition is scathing, saying the government's been embarrassed into picking up projects that were in the pipeline under National - and tweaked to claim as its own.
There are also questions about whether there's enough physical labour and capacity within the industry to make these projects a reality.
Jacinda Ardern made the announcement in lieu of the more traditional State of the Nation speech in Auckland. RNZ political editor, Jane Patterson, was there.
