	Description:		This year’s Auckland mayoral election is set to be fought over the future of transport. Business leader Viv Beck has confirmed she'll be standing in October's election, to replace outgoing mayor Phil Goff. Her main rival, councillor Efeso Collins, wants to make public transport free. In her exclusive first broadcast interview, Beck told Mike Hosking her priority will be pushing for an end to Auckland's regional fuel tax. “At best, it should have only been an interim tax to raise money. I think there are opportunities around getting the waste out, determining the project or make the biggest difference and negotiating a better deal with Wellington.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
