    Shane Jones was preparing to release a freight strategy for the upper North Island tomorrow - but has been taken to hospital today


    It's not known whether that will delay the release.

    Shortly before he was seen in a wheelchair, Jones told reporters the announcement - which also looks at Port of Auckland's future - is significant.
