Cabinet today, and the promise this week is that we're going to get a ferry plan. Apparently there might be an announcement on Wednesday. It's been a year since Nicola Willis pulled the plug on the Kiwirail's ferry plan and it wasn't because the ferries were so expensive, in fact, these ferries were a really good deal. It was because of the cost of the port side developments. And I think this is something that gets lost in the whole debate when we talk about it. The ships weren't the problem. The

A better end to the year than expected for the dairy sector. Fonterra has raised its forecast Farmgate Milk Price's midpoint for the second time in less than a month. It's up 50 cents to $10 dollars, citing strong demand from China and south-east Asia. Forsyth Barr Senior Analyst Matt Montgomerie told Ryan Bridge that demand from China has been sluggish for some time, so it’s pleasing to see they’re returning in some way.
