The Green Party is backing light rail all the way.

As part of its transport plan for the capital, it wants light rail from the railway station to the airport - should it form part of the next government.

Transport spokesperson Julie-Anne Genter told Mike Hosking that there are 170 cities in the world that have light rail.

Ms Genter said the current government think extra lanes and a fly-over will solve congestion in the capital, but she believes there are better ways of doing it.

She said the thing about light rail is that it has a very long life - the infrastructure costs more up front, but the ongoing costs are much lower - and that it would improve the quality of Wellington by complementing the road network.

The investment in a new Christchurch stadium is seen as worth it, for the sake of locals' livelihoods.

Four new designs have been proposed for a stadium with 25,000 to 30,000 seats.

Three of them have a roof: one has a transparent roof, and the other two have a solid roof and a retractable pitch.

Concert Promoter Phil Sprey told Mike Hosking the investment is not only worth it, but necessary for an expanding city.

"People still have to have a lifestyle - they have a reason for doing things, they're not going to be worried about a pothole when they need to actually enjoy life and take the family out."

A Waikato District Heath Board member says they are completely in the dark about doctors concerns over their leaders.

DHB chief executive Nigel Murray and chairman Bob Simcock have received a vote of no confidence.

A group representing hundreds of doctors has written to the Ministry of Health, heavily criticising the DHB's management style, describing it as dictatorial.

DHB board member Dave MacPherson told Mike Hosking they have only heard whispers, but nothing official.

"We've heard that there's been issues over contracts, contractual negotiations haven't gone all that well, but none of this sort of detail ... [was] coming to the board table."

Dean of Otago University's Business School Dr Robin Gauld specialises in health policy, and said we should consider running our health system nationally.

He told Mike Hosking the plus side of the DHB model is that things can be done locally.

"But the downside of it is that we've got 20 different systems replicating governance and management, and we're a very, very small country and there's a strong argument that you could actually do what the 20 DHBs do in a fairly good way nationally.

"Some might suggest it sets up a very much an 'us and them' type system between the Government and the boards, between the boards and the executives - there are probably other ways of doing it."
