The coalition is showing unity on the Cook Strait ferry deal.  

Rail Minister Winston Peters has announced two road and rail-enabled ferry and port infrastructure to be delivered by 2029.  

Finance Minister Nicola Willis had a plan, but it wasn't confirmed whether those were rail-enabled or not.  

Peters told Mike Hosking the fact that a new plan is on the table, isn't being critical of her. 

He said that when they brought a new option to the table, Willis had enough wisdom to say they should see if it’s possible. 

Peters is standing firm in his criticism of Green MP Benjamin Doyle's historical Instagram posts. 

The Greens says they're screening an immense volume of abuse, including death threats towards Doyle, over Doyle's old social media posts with sexually suggestive captions. 

The party is accusing Peters of "fanning the flames of hatred". 

Peters told Mike Hosking that's not true. 

He says thousands and thousands of people from the rainbow community are supporting what he's saying.
