    Northlanders delivered - gave enough votes to NZF to be in a pivotal position after the elections - kingmaker, remember?

    Yes...but not enough to return WP to the Northland seat. Which is what he was really after.

    Having said that...they will champion the move. I am looking forward to reading the next report.
    Hopefully the argument for moving it, financially as well as socially, is as robust as it is purported to be.
    If it is, then as Jacinda says, it’s when, not if.

    Great infra-structure projects for Governments to have ticking along. They can speed / slow as needed to feed the economy.

    National / Bridges should take the initiative and get right in behind NZ FIRST with moving the port. Right now.
    Before Labour make it their idea.
    Be interesting to see the spin then !

    Exactly winner

    Though I presume the Cruise ships will still have a wharf or two to dock, plus the ferries etc

    Maybe it’s the developers behind the idea

    You can justify anything in a well presented report

    Whatever it is, W69, it is political - so might as well make some money out of it for yourself.

    MMH to go to $10 - you read it here first!

    The trouble with the proposed development of transport links to Marsden Point is some see it as pork barrel politics by Shane Jones to support his candidacy in the Northland Electorate.

    This view I speculate would be prevalent within the National Party, who if they become the government in next years election would take great delight in canning Shane's trophy project.

    My advice to Shane Jones; start laying track for the spur line to the port NOW so an incoming government can not stop it.

    PS More advice for Shane. For the taxpayers sake don't take advice from Micheal Cullen about what to do about Railway issues in the face of an electoral defeat.

    Once it is started, which will be pushed through by NZF, I cannot see National terminating the project.

    Be interesting to see what National says when the Final Report is officially released and recommendation is taken up by the government. Will Simon grow a pair and says National will can it?

    Suspect Simon is not going to, is he?
