The Government's being warned it must invest in New Zealand's ageing infrastructure.

It comes after a week of infrastructure woes, with the Defence Force plane breaking down, a toppled power pylon wiping out power to Northland, and the Aratere Interislander ferry running aground on Friday.

Infrastructure NZ Policy Director, Michelle McCormick, told Mike Hosking “I think it’s terrible for New Zealand’s reputation.”

McCormick said “I think it’s right across our infrastructure sectors - I think it's symptomatic of our ongoing lack of investment in maintenance.”

She said "It's not politically that exciting - but we need to look after what we have."
