But Mainfreight Managing Director Don Braid told Mike Hosking he's not sure it will mean cheaper freight rates, adding it mostly operates on the East to West corridors anyway. He says it's possible for cheaper freight to result

Sir John Key doubts asset sales would achieve much. The former Prime Minister says cutting bureaucracy and allowing better foreign investment would have more of an impact.

We have to talk about Donald Trump. He is fantastic. What I like about what he has done so far is none of it’s a surprise. He actually does what he said he would do. The mainstream media still can't get their head around it. I watched CNN twisting themselves into a knot over the pardons and the fact a lot of what he says isn't true. It's as though they still think by moaning about it anything is going to change. The Trump era is the most legitimate democratic thing you will see anywhere in the
