This week on the David Shearer Show, public relations consultant and media commentator Matthew Hooton talks politics and promotes a new bridge over the Waitemata Harbour that would dominate Auckland’s skyline.
How did National Party leaders send their supporters a “secret signal” in Epsom in 2005 that allowed Rodney Hide to win the conservative electorate seat and does Hooton think the Act Party leader can do it again in 2011?
The political analyst says a comeback is possible for Winston Peters and that may well mean a Labour, Green, NZ First achieve 50% for a victory in 2011.
A key player in local and national politics, Hooton, with a group of business people, has got behind the Anzac Centenary Bridge 2015 as the new harbour crossing.
Rather than building a tunnel for road and rail while maintaining the existing the bridge, the Anzac Bridge would have 10 lanes including rail and access for pedestrians and cyclists.
Hooton believes it would be a bold and visionary step for New Zealand’s biggest city.

Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration.
Local parks are being demolished to make way for the Government’s new Waterview connection, leaving local families with limited to access to green spaces in their community, Labour MP for Mt Albert David Shearer said.
