The Government has failed to deliver a better ferry deal for New Zealand.
“Smaller and more expensive ferries are set to land in New Zealand after much delay because Nicola Willis botched the Interislander ferry deal,” Labour transport and rail spokesperson Tangi Utikere said.
“We planned to pay $551 million for bigger and better, rail-enabled ferries. Winston Peters has agreed to pay $596 million for smaller ships of lower standard.
“Winston Peters seems to have swept the $671 million Nicola Willis spent in cancelling the ferries under the rug.
“We’ve long said the Government won’t deliver a better deal than what was underway under Labour, and today we have been proven right,” Tangi Utikere said.
