It seems that one of the NZ Rail ferries across Cook Straight is broken and will take some time to fix. A broken gear box.
I can understand Kiwi Rail being a bit concerned by the loss of business but surely the rest of New Zealand needn't be worried.
Last year we were, as a country, assured that maori in canoes had travelled to Antarctica so moving a bit of freight across a body of water so small an untrained maori sheila (we are also assured, maori tales being a literal and completely factual account of events before he awful white man forced things like a written language on them) swam across it (for a shag?) should be child's play for our brown betters.
As the only business allowed to operate in new New Zealand is maori business we should just stand back and watch how it's done, marvel at the alacrity, efficiency and engineering.
Hone and co. will have everything humming in no time at all.
