NEWCASTLE MP Tim Crakanthorp has accused Greens councillors of "deliberately spreading misinformation" about electric ferries after Newcastle council called on the state government to commit to a new fleet by 2030.
Last week, councillors voted to write to Mr Crakanthorp and Transport Minister John Graham urging the state government to reconsider plans to spend $5 million extending the life of the MV Shortland and MV Hunter and instead commit to electric replacements by the end of the decade.
