The Problems with the cook Straight Ferry Aratere could have been overcome if Our Government thought sideways about our Defence force...
What our Navy needs most in this day and age is a Roll on Roll off Supply Ship, For the Defence Force, for Disaster Relief but most important for Back up to keep the Sea link open between Our two Main Islands in case of Commercial Maritime failure, not to mention a Quick Response Vessel in case of Failure of any of the Hundreds of Visiting Ships to our waters in the course of a Year. Such a ship would be a Great insurance Policy for a country such as ours .

Yes, Government, What happens to our Ferry Service if a "Big One" hits Wellington?
ReplyDeleteWe need a Navy that can carry things not just shoot at them.
