National's transport spokesman has labelled Auckland Light Rail's commercial building purchase 'shocking'.
Auckland Light Rail has signed a $33 million contract to buy the Kiwi Bacon Building, located on New North Road.
That's despite National vowing to scrap the $14.6-billion-dollar project if elected next month.
Simeon Brown says the Government has had six years to deliver and hasn't presented a business case to purchase the building.
"The Government hasn't got a business case, they haven't got a route- yet they've decided to spend $33 million on a commercial property. This is absolutely unbelievable."
