    The Transport Minister was caught out not being able to do simple maths during Question Time

    The Transport Minister was caught out not being able to do simple maths during Question Time


    ACT leader David Seymour asked Phil Twyford how long a vehicle travelling at 30 kilometres an hour would take to travel 20 kilometres from the Auckland CBD to the Airport.

    He wasn't able to answer - blaming congestion as the variable - but Speaker Trevor Mallard interrupted, saying he wanted an answer.

    Mallard says he would expect a minister would be nimble enough to work that out.
