Finland intends to criminalise the dissemination of false information on behalf of a foreign state. The goal is to make the systematic dissemination of fake information punishable when the perpetrator knowingly acts on behalf of a foreign intelligence service.

A fraction of this would actually fix our quite fucked rail network, upgrade our passenger and freight ports, and massively reduce the number of trucks on NZ roads - reducing the need to repair and replace them. Hell, we could even throw in some transit to city for all our international airports.
The Government’s transport plans for the coming 20 years will cost more than a quarter of a trillion dollars, the Transport Ministry says.
