Fun Ferry Fact: Part of iRex was ensuring rail enabled freight was maintained during port upgrades through to 2026 when the new ferries arrived.
Fun Ferry Fact: Cancelling iRex and the Ferries to "save money" means a four year gap in crucial transport on a crossing that takes $40 billion each year

Honestly think it's because the media (at least the owners and senior editors) like National and ACT and want them to win. If Labour or (gasp) the Greens had done anything like this, they'd never stop bringing it up.

"A shrunken caucus would further weaken the party’s negotiating position with coalition partners, allowing the minor parties to have an even greater influence." Is the writer blind to the fact that the minor coalition parties are already running the show, because Luxon is so weak?
