Live: Interislander runs aground

Statement from Green transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter:

"Nicola Willis's reckless decision to cancel the contract for new ferries without an alternative plan in place is disastrous for New Zealand. It's unbelievable really, and yet a hallmark of this coalition Government. They campaigned on funding public goods like infrastructure and cancer drugs to get people to vote for them - but instead they give tax cuts to landlords and are setting up our Interislander service for failure and then fire sale."
