## Resource

Christchurch’s Deputy Mayor Victoria Henstock weighs in on Labour’s proposed public transport fare cap, questioning whether the money would be better spent on improving bus reliability and coverage instead. While acknowledging the cost-of-living squeeze, she notes the city council’s limited control over transport services and calls for more equitable investment. She also touches on the economic boost from the Super Round rugby event and the council’s ongoing local government reform consultation, aiming to balance regional efficiency with local input.
