While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

David Lomas is best known as the man who makes New Zealanders cry.
For the last 19 years he has fronted more than 160 episodes of his heart warming and heart-wrenching family reunion programmes known by various names - Missing Pieces, Family Secret, Lost & Found and David Lomas Investigates.
In April his new series David Lomas Breakthrough will screen on TV3.
David comes from a background in journalism, writing his first newspaper story 60 years ago as a 13 year old college student.
In a print journalism career lasting 18 years he worked on numerous papers including the Wanganui Chronicle, The Dominion, The Sunday Times, Fiji Sun, Auckland Star, Sunday Star and the Auckland Sun.
In 1988 David moved to television with TVNZ where he was involved in starting the Holmes programme (and was in the helicopter crash with Paul Holmes).
While David did some on-air work at TVNZ he was mainly involved in producing such programmes as 60 Minutes, Sunday and One News.
He has also worked for Radio NZ and was deputy editor of The Listener.
David has won more than 40 journalism and television awards including Journalist of the Year in both television and print.
For the last 20 years he has worked as a freelance producer/ director/ presenter. David has also made a number of one-off documentaries – most notably the top rating The Wahine Disaster and The Real Mr Asia.
