Labour leader and Remutaka MP Chris Hipkins says he is sceptical of the idea the Interislander could be privatised. 

It comes after a cabinet paper obtained by the Herald floated the possibility of partially or fully privatising the ferry service. 

Hipkins joined Nick Mills for his monthly catch-up, where the pair also discussed the state of the economy, whether weight-loss 'wonder drugs' should be funded, and the government's recent law and order announcements.
