An engineering consultant says moving Auckland's port to Manukau is a terrible idea.  

A feasibility study was included in the Budget last week – commissioned after a previous report rejected the idea.

“It’s a dangerous harbour, there are wildly shifting sandbars out off the front there, and it regularly claims fisherman.”
