Its been a tough week for Kiwirail.

The Aratere ran aground on Friday night, and it was also revealed the same ship lost power last year due to faulty tape that was holding wiring in place.

To top it off, Kiwirail’s chair resigned last week, alongside revelations that the Finance Minister hauled Kiwirail bosses over the coals after discovering exorbitant consultant spending.

Act leader David Seymour and Labour's health and Wellington issues spokesperson Ayesha Verrall joined Adam Cooper to run through the Interislander's troubles, as well as the other political issues of the week.
