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?

Have you ever had a pest problem? I used to have a pet rat. They are smart, affectionate, clever little things.

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:

"We are very focused on winning," she told media this evening. "It's third time lucky, isn't it?" Ms Collins said, on it being her third leadership bid. The entire caucus followed her in to make the announcement this evening after an emergency meeting, including former leader Simon Bridges and former deputy Paula Bennett. "They’re all extremely valued members of our team," Ms Collins said. Mr Brownlee was previously made campaign chair under previous leader Todd Muller. When asked the difference between her and Jacinda Ardern, Ms Collins listed, "experience, toughness, the ability to make decisions". She added that she respected Ms Ardern, but added, "our team is better than their team and we’re going to take it back". Ms Collins said she was fairly certain Paul Goldsmith would stay as finance spokesperson. Todd Muller announced his resignation as leader this morning, 53 days after rolling Simon Bridges. Ms Collins said she was "devastated" for Todd Muller and was "flabbergasted" by the news this morning. "I feel privileged to have been chosen to lead the National Party at this important time in our history," Ms Collins said today. "My focus as leader will be helping rebuild our communities and dealing with the economic and jobs crisis by getting Kiwis back to work. Earlier today, Judith Collins told media at Auckland airport said she was "leaving everything to the caucus" when asked if she was throwing her hat in the ring as new leader. "I'm feeling really sorry for Todd Muller actually, he's been a delight to work with." Ms Collins recently released a book and told TVNZ1's Q+A that Sir John Key "probably" liked her despite her feeling like he threw her under the bus during the 2014 Oravida and Dirty Politics sagas.

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.
