Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff: How tauiwi are celebrating Matariki, the David Lange effect in the White House and what we’re watching over the long weekend.
“Cost: An estimated $900m for two ships, which could be as much as $3b when you include the cost of new wharves and terminals. Benefit: Passengers tend to prefer boats that don’t crash. Cost: It would set an expensive precedent that all outdated and dysfunctional infrastructure should be replaced. Benefit: A reliable, grown-up ferry network that people don’t have to worry about constantly. Cost: We’d still have to worry about broken pylons, broken planes, broken rail, broken roads and broken pipes. Benefit: We might get a new Interislander jingle.”
