Politics Thursday: Ginny Andersen and Mike Butterick talk Aratere, budget and prisoners voting

Kiwirail has announced the Interislander Aratere will be retired – leaving us with just two ferries until new ones arrive in 2029. Can the country cope with a reduced ferry fleet?

Also, Finance Minister Nicola Willis has given herself barely any new money this budget,  and most of the money she has got has already been spent. Are we likely to see substantial cuts?

To answer those questions, Labour's police spokesperson Ginny Andersen and National's Wairarapa MP Mike Butterick joined Nick Mills for Politics Thursday.
