The Government wants more information before making a final decision on the future of the Ports of Auckland.

Despite a working party recommending a move to Northport, near Whangarei - the Government has today commissioned more information. 

A report on all options available is expected to be before Cabinet in May next year.

Head of Business for NZME Fran O'Sullivan told Simon and Phil there's also questions behind a lobby group enlisting powerful people to help in its case to move the port to Whangarei.
