As the Government reacts to Omicron, there are once again going to be kinks in the supply chain to sort out to ensure goods can move freely.

Telling New Zealand we will all be under the red traffic light when Omicron gets here does not constitute a plan. To keep the supply chain moving we need details.

Wholesale speed reductions can't be the only approach to addressing New Zealand's appalling road toll. Money needs to be spent on the roads and the Government needs to listen to road users.

Transmission Gully will have to be crossed off my Christmas list and added to next year's, again, but there's plenty more to wish for - no more road deaths this year and some money spent on our roads.

In the past month, 21 people have died in accidents on our roads. As the Auckland road border lifts next week, we expect the volume of traffic to increase considerably and ask for safety's sake, if you don't feel up to driving, please don't drive.

The traffic light system is in play but information for businesses about how to manage the Government's many rules has been very slow, so the road ahead could be bumpy.

Hastily drafted law with far reaching consequences, arrogantly passed with cursory consultation, will separate the vaccinated from the non-vaccinated for the years ahead.

As the roads clog up and the supply chain is stretched to the max, delaying delivery of goods, patience will be the catch-cry for summer.

A perfect storm is brewing that has us concerned about safety for truck drivers and the potential for carnage on the roads. It's time to plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Are you going to have to be on Santa's nice list to leave Auckland this Christmas? The silly season has gone beyond silly as the Government moots suggestions for controlling Auckland's road borders.

The Government won't release New Zealand from its chains until 90 percent of the population across all District Health Boards are vaccinated. What does this mean for our industry?

The Government must come out and tell New Zealanders when the country will accept living with Covid-19 and open up as the rest of the world has.
