* Auckland - Motives and logic behind bigger truck deal in question
-- New Zealand First is challenging the proposal to use larger trucks on Kiwi roads, says New Zealand First Leader and Member of Parliament for Northland Rt Hon Winston Peters" ... New Zealand First recognises the essential role that trucks play in transporting goods around the country. We are not about to put trucks off the road," says Mr Peters... "We are deeply concerned that the trucking industry appears to be effectively controlling the government's transport policy, and the losers are the New Zealand public... "The government’s studies also show that long haul freight by boat or train is twice as efficient as road transport, yet the government is actively helping the trucking industry carry more freight on public roads."
