Citation on the 100 year life span please.
If that ever happens you'd either be surrendering or joining some resistance movement I'd imagine?
Probably not much chance of influencing the present action or consequence either way

āthe iReX Project which was set up to deliver a resilient Interislander ferry service and robust port infrastructure with a 100-year design life.

You've translated that into "ferries with 100 year life span". Think about it. And maybe correct your thinking if you feel like it - it's not the same thing.āthe iReX Project which was set up to deliver a resilient Interislander ferry service and robust port infrastructure with a 100-year design life.

If thats your position than fair. But doesnt seem that you hold Labor to the same scrutiny

Semantics.
If the ferries are unviable in my EV question then the 100 year specialised port infrastructure is obsolete.
Not semantics. Your framing turned x into y and you applied y to prove your own point, which is effectively nullified by the original conversion
Also (I really need to stop digging into this) ferries aren't unviable. Evs might not be safe to transport on an ocean going ferry, which is a separate conversation/issue/discussion, but that would be more around how to mitigate safety issues for modern vehicles.
I love how this is a complete National fuck up costing us hundreds of millions and who knows what else and it's somehow being spun into some sort of genius move because, you know, ferries aren't viable.

Their own people are scared, so should we!

except my original post said:āNothing about the politics but just wonderingā
I donāt think itās a factor I was just personally wondering for my own interest how EVās will be handled.
You seem very defensive!
Nah all good. But it's a general question really relating to ev batteries and their safety, not necessarily ferries, blah blah, have a nice evening, at least SJ is taking a break.

Yes. $700m for the same size ferries to replace existing that didnāt have rail.
Labour subsequently upsized them and rail enabled them which required all the new infrastructure and blew out the cost to $3b+.
I donāt think anyone would have an issue with $700m replacement in a like for like. My moneys on that ending up the solution again. Ferries the same size as existing with no infrastructure upgrade.

Bit ironic that throughout all of this nobody has thought about Ocean going tugs for emergency
Cook Strait is a notorious stretch of water and an incident is inevitable
