From Mediawatch, 9:07 am on 23 October 2016

Reports of a "surge in support" for a higher speed limit cropped up in the news this week, backed by a big name broadcaster. But the environmental impact and the cost to the public went unmentioned.

The Dominion Post front page claimes a "surge in support" for a higher speed limit - but 75% of New Zealanders don't support that at all.

Wellington's daily says support is surging - but three out of four people don't back a higher speed limit. Photo: screenshot
