For the second day in a row, beleaguered Transport Minister Phil Twyford appears to have given Parliament incorrect information, crucial documents leaked to Stuff reveal.
But instead of correcting the record as he did on Tuesday, Twyford is now sticking to his guns, denying he gave Parliament incorrect information.
The latest leak revolves around a NZTA assessment of a New Zealand Super Fund proposal to build Auckland's light rail. Last week Twyford told Parliament that NZTA "didn't complete an assessment" of the NZ Super Fund's proposal to build the multi-billion dollar light rail project.
The existence of an assessment, denied by Twyford, is significant because NZTA's former board said it used the document to justify its dismissal of the Super Fund's plan.
Leaked documents obtained by Stuff show that the NZTA assessment was in fact complete enough to send to the NZ Super Fund for a response.
