Your chance to grill the politicians!

The election buzz is building and we’ve got a great event coming up that we want members to get involved in.

MTA is hosting a political debate on 23 August – and it’s your chance to put the parties on the spot. The Transport spokespeople for the four main parties are taking part, to outline their policies and plans for the automotive sector.

They will face a grilling from a moderator who will be putting some tough questions to them. That’s where you come in.

We want to hear from members who have a question they want put to the politicians.

You might have strong thoughts around:

• Clean Car Programme

• Warrant of Fitness

• Road to Zero

• Road maintenance

• The automotive workforce

• Another industry issue.

This is your chance to get your answer!

Email your question to simon.bradwell@mta.org.nz before 16 August and it’ll go in the mix to be asked on the night.

The MPs attending are:

• National Party Transport spokesperson

Simeon Brown

• Green Party Transport spokesperson

Julie Anne Genter

• ACT Transport Party spokesperson Simon Court

• Labour Party MP Helen White

• All members are invited to attend the event at the Wellington Club. If you think you might like to attend, please email mta@mta.org.nz.

There will also be a live stream of the event on our YouTube channel. More details will be provided closer to the event - keep an eye on the Friday email.

It’s the second major event held by MTA this election year, following the launch of Driving New Zealand Forward, MTA’s call to action to political parties.
