Chippy once again opening his mouth and spilling garbage

[harm_less]

So Nicky No Boats cans the previous plan with replacement ferries already half built and now comes up with a half arsed strategy to go looking for ferries that look to be not only more expensive than iRex but also far less functional?

On top of that the major proportion of the previous ferry plan was in upgrading the sadly outdated port facilities on both ends so Nicola outsources those expenses to the Wellington and Picton Ports authorities which makes her numbers look better, and delays the who caboodle into the next financial year in an attempt to improve the balance sheets of this economically inept government? Sounds like a great plan

I know Winston is not stupid and I trust he made the right decision.
Lots of these details are commercially sensitive so its best to wait and see how it plays out, its not a decision he would have taken lightly.

Winston is politically savvy enough to know he's being played and has been given a hospital pass with the railways ministership. It's going to be interesting to see how long it is before Seymour's undermining of Winston's attempts to tailor a deal for the ferries results in a hissy fit on Winston's part.
