The Prime Minister's defending the Government effectively delaying a Cook Strait ferry decision. 

Christopher Luxon appears to have let slip the Government's signed off two rail-compatible ferries, unless a better proposal is on the table within the next few months. 

He told Heather du Plessis-Allan the ferries need to be replaced in 2029, meaning the procurement decision doesn't need to be made by the end of March. 

Luxon says they have a proposal for two rail-compatible ferries as a default.
