  • Summary

  • The Government is being warned it must invest in New Zealand's ageing infrastructure.

    It comes after a week of infrastructure woes, with the Defence Force plane breaking down, a track fault cancelling all trains in Auckland, and an Interislander ferry running aground.

    These are all areas that have been issues before, so what’s stopped us from fixing these problems before they become a catastrophe?

    Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Wellington reporter Georgina Campbell explains what went wrong with the Interislander ferry and what it'll take to fix the problem, and Infrastructure NZ’s policy director, Michelle McCormick, digs into the wider issues with our critical infrastructure.
