Doubling and tripling tariffs on products worldwide must be a pain for low income souls but won't hurt mega buckers

What price a Ferry now?
#Interislander
#NZGovt set aside $300m to cover broken infrastructure contracts & a break-fee with #Hyundai, after Govt ended a contract to build 2 new #Interislander #ferries. The exact amount is unknown, so the $300m fund may not cover costs, & still need new ferries!

My kind of boat. #Interislander
All these ferry cancellations. The swell is around 3meters. The ferries used to 'eat' this. Now i think they are so paranoid that they will have yet another breakdown in Cook Straight they are being conservative. A good thing as these ferries are past their used by date. #interislander
The thing people don't seem to grasp when it comes to "budget blowouts" is that it isn't a failure to keep costs within a budget, it's a failure to budget properly in the first place.
A project will cost what it costs. Budgets are just a prediction of that cost.

When your husband spots your mural on the Interislander Ferry and sends you blurry pictures because heβs feeling proud of you but isnβt wearing his glasses.π π³πΏ #Interislander #Aotearoa
