The long awaited ferry announcement from the government came yesterday, however there's still plenty unanswered questions.
We'll get two new ferries, but the government hasn't said how much they will cost, or whether they will be rail-enabled.
It comes more than a year after the Finance Minister cancelled the previous governments plan to purchase two new ships for $550 million.
Labour's transport spokesperson Tangi Utikere says the announcement was underwhelming.
"What we've learned is that kiwis will have to wait longer for the ferries when they do arrive, it was meant to be 2026 under the former government, now we'll have to wait until at least 2029".
